    That HK is really surprising! Cool video bro! 💪🏼🔥
  • Looks like I'll be ordering the HobbyKing Servo thanks for the video and the info. Keep up the good work

    Really cool video! I've had a bunch of the jx 6221's, and they have been ok. Ive used a jx 6015... And It is a great 11 doller servo! Im not sure it has a lot of torqe but in a 1/8 buggy it was almost as fast and drove as good as a savox sv 1273tg. Only noticable benifite to the savox servos I have used, is they center better than any others I have tried. I have a savox sv1271 in my mbx7r eco and it is about perfect for how I drive. I want to try the power hd 20kg. And that hobbyking servo! Great performance for under 20!

    great test! got the 6221mg for a beater 4WD. for 10 bucks shipped, i have no complaints.
  • @puzzleluvr
    The ds3218 coming with a horn, and then the performance of it, makes me feel good about running them for a budget friendly choice.
  • @solarsynapse
    Great real test! Like the charts! Which ones have ball bearings, single, dual? Waterproof?
  • @interman7715
    The powerhd servo has better electronics because it uses less amps to hold stall which is important. The Hobbyking 15298b is outstanding for it's torque.Thank you for the test.

    Thanks for sharing this video. Subscribed 😉
  • @RoadsideRC
    Awesome- love this kind of thing! Thank you for sharing. I have been defaulting to the PowerHD servos recently, and looks like a decent choice. Do you have any way to test speed also? Power is just one piece of the equation.
  • @clawsoon
    If I'm doing the math correctly, the 6V inner hole tests translate to actual torques of: JX6221: 9.4 kg-cm DS3218: 12 kg-cm PowerHD: 14 kg-cm HK 15298b: 19kg-cm
  • If you ever get your hands on the power hd lw-25mg would be cool to see how it compares to there other servos you’ve tested
