    Thanks for spending all that money and running the test. I'm sure a lot of us benefited from knowing which brands are true to their claims.

    You do all these servo test but it's hard to remember which does which to compare, it would be great if you could do a round up at the end, and put them all in a bar graph with overall torque, sorted by power volt X amps, and also them sort for Oz per $ 👍
  • @coldstne1
    Thank you for taking the time and effort to test all of the top dog servos. This is the one upgrade I do to all of my rc’s over anything else! 1st mod of every build...
  • @FreshYoungDude
    Appreciate all you do for the hobby Francis. Ordered the Reefs through your Amain link!
  • @eskimojoe6564
    Man so glad to be a subscriber of this channel.I love these servo testing videos.Thank you so much :)
  • @tomandrews5392
    This is great edition to the series ...this is all the marbles I know there are other servos you have not covered but this was great...Thanks..
  • @frumpadumpf5173
    Very informative and useful! really opened my eyes to how much current these high torque servos actually pull. I've always assumed 3 or 4A were the maximum at full torque, but seeing 7A...Wow! Makes it easier to choose a BEC as well.
  • @humanx187
    Thank you for posting this video, I’m gonna share the heck out of it!
  • @slimfatpat
    Just ordered a reefs 555 and castle bec. Thanks for your review👍
  • @RcOffroad9513
    I have found a very cheap, powerful, and fast brushless servo for 23 dollars!!!!!!!!!😮 Gx 42kg brushless servo on ebay. It is unbelievable for the price. It blew my mind... I've ran it at a race this past weekend, and it ran flawless. Very strong, and centered very well. Hope you reveiw it one day! Great video!
  • @CuciWaterjet
    I really appreciate your review. Saved me a lot of money and time. I love all your videos!! Thank you.
  • @CentralVAracer
    The tekin was crazy quiet. Cool video and nice to see someone testing all these for us.

    My 1st RTR when I got back into RC was a Redcat Gen 8 Axe, and ever since Reefs has been my go to for servos, and Hobbywing for ESC and Motors. I have to Admit I have been thinking about building a purely Holmes Hobby crawler just so I can compare the two top dogs, at least from the word on the grapevine. Maybe on the SCX10iii chassis. I will add a Thank You, if I haven't already because your review was the tipping point on my 1st RTR and I still think my Axe is the best RC I Own, I did ungrade to an AXE FOC R2 540L 2800KV, for the wheel speed, extra punch, and for the dual mode to also use as a trailing truck.
  • @need4drift
    Thanks.👍 I like the hitec with the hi price just because it's so quiet.
