Hot Servos

[Acetronics2]

I cant believe that 3 perfectly good servos ...

This is waaayyyy optimistic !!!

the test has been made by very serious guys with a high level servo tester ...
that wasn't MY experience but the ( very bad ) results of tests ...

ALL Those results have been published as a program called "Servormances" ... only available in French, halas.
Here you can get it ...

You ALSO can ask P. Cesarrato a "kit" of his servo tester ... he sells it @ " friend price " ( no much more than the components price ...)
I join some description of the used tester manual ...

Add to that I have been dealing with R/C stuff for ... over 40 years. If I tell you to forget about Hitech products, It's ALSO because I personnaly have tested, repaired ... and thrown their products to the Wastebox !!!

Want some copies of the ( constructive ...) mails I've sent to and received from their technical staff ???
They even do agree their servos are " not so good " ... and , of course, always promise they will correct them !!!

Talking price ...

you can get much, much better prices ( ~ half what you tell !!! )... but may be NOT from your local reseller or any " robotics shop " !!!
Also have a look to Futaba S3302 ...
