Something I noticed while shopping for Servos. Mislabeled?

[jbull250]

I was on amazon grabbing a cheap Servo for my Senton and I noticed that one of the DS servos for sale is marked DS3230 on the sticker but 25kg on the side. I usually go off of the stickers for the KG of the servo as I know whatever rebranding can be printed on the side. But this got me wondering, is this thing 25kg or 30kg.
I've had good luck with the DS3225 (25kg) and DS3235 (35 kg) but never tried the DS3230 (which I would assume is 30kg). And would probably just buy a 30kg servo for the price of a 25kg.

Here are the links to the servos I am talking about.


The "25kg" Servo in question (DS3230)...

Something weird with that listing for sure, the DS3230 shows up on a Google search as this https://www.amazon.com/LJWRC-DS3230MG-Waterproof-Digital-Degree/dp/B088KHSR7C

And your thread title says escs but this thread is about servos.

My mistake, thanks for catching that!

I ordered a pair for science. I'm assuming they will get here and be labeled correctly, but I'll update.

I think it is just a mislabeled ad.

 

[jbull250]

Yep just mislabeled in the ad... lol. 25kg servos

These look like PowerHD servos.
Are they just another rebrand?

 

[jbull250]

Yea pretty much, they're cheap and not bad bang for your buck.

 

[LibertyMKiii]

I have had really good luck with the DS3225
If one breaks it wont break your heart

 

[jbull250]

Yeah I honestly stopped running servo savers with em in my rigs I don’t bash hard with.. considering they cost about as much lol.

I have both the 25kg & 35kg labeled servos and what I've found is that you have to check the listed spec sheets carefully. Doesn't really matter what the price is. They all look almost identical but many have different specs.
