The Amazon Dsservo 35kg pro servo…the title of the post lol
lol...I was sitting here thinking we shouldn't bother as in trying to troubleshoot or tell you "No, that's a great servo!" and other such nonsense. But yeah, good shout. I solemnly swear not to bother with a servo that failed you twice. Now you have even more of my word.
I have no idea but the non pro ones I’ve used before this have worked longer than the pro version so far.
Yea I’ve used the non pro and pro. Maybe it was a bunk model. I’ll update with result this afternoon around 3pm pst. Thanks!
Thanks for the update, glad it worked so far. Looking forward to seeing how long ours both last. Ive just installed mine a few days ago, only got to bash once since.
Same here. Skatepark is tomorrow so we shall see how durable it is
Awesome, thanks for the update! I hope it goes well tomorrow.
No problem brother! The reason I’m doing this is because everyone on yt praises this servo like its gods creation and I’m thinking either A. They got it for free or B. They are being paid to say that. I want people to know the truth that’s what I care about solely so people won’t be disappointed. I’m doing a night street run tonight and will update
This is true, but there are no videos where they say this died after 5 minutes or one jump to concrete killed it. I don’t want people misled thinking this is a legit servo. And yea hobby star is legit. I like the smoothness of it overall and probably what I’ll use after this one dies as after run 2 cement to dirt landing is already making noises. Today around 4pm pst I’ll desert bash and see if it dies on run 3. Stay tuned!
I've heard nothing but good things about those Hobby Star servos.
Do you have enough space between your servo and the bottom of the chassis? I was breaking a lot of those servos before I realized I needed some type of spacer to make sure the servo is raised high enough.
They really are amazing for the price. I wish i knew about them sooner because now I have like 15 Amazon servos in my rigs but I don't want to replace them when they still work. If they ever go out on me it's all hobby star from then on
How do the HobbyStar compare to the Aliexpress GX servo you mentioned the other day, in your XRT? For the GX, did you buy the 50kg or the 80kg, and what voltage are you running it at? Thanks.They really are amazing for the price. I wish i knew about them sooner because now I have like 15 Amazon servos in my rigs but I don't want to replace them when they still work.

The biggest improvement imo is the centering. It makes such a nice difference!
This is a hard one, I still haven't tested the durability of the gx. I ordered the 80kg and running it at 7.4 on a max 5. I think the HobbyStar I have is faster and might return to center a little bit better. The gx job is a helluva lot harder though since I'm using it for 1/5th scale tires. It does the job good and if it survives a trip to the bmx spot I'm ordering more. For smaller rigs I'd pick the hobby star.
