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 $ 👍
@@tonysweet9137 Why is it useless.. If you decide on a servo... a few clicks on the progress bar gives you the information about it. I'm just not sure why would anybody need a 47kg servo in a crawler.. other to use it as a boulder wedge in a quarry...That will break most crawler parts...
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...
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!
My favorites are the Reefs 555, Protek 370TBL 650oz and the Holmes SHV500. You honestly need to test the new Holmes against the 3Brothers RC direct current servo.
FC previously tested both direct current servos. This is an update for Holmes; but, could not see what voltage was used due to banner being in the way of the meter...LOL
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.
Have you seen the Boom Racing Python servo made to be axle mounted? It doesn't have tabs on the ends but has one rail down the side to mount directly to the truss or an adapter bracket. It looks very streamlined and waterproof with a 45kg rating. I guess you would have a problem trying to use your rig to test it but I sure would like to see how it compares. You guys are doing an excellent job and I thank you for spending the time and presenting it for us. Have you thought about how to check the calibration of your rig? It wouldn't be hard to put a pulley up at the top and a pulley at the edge of the table to hang calibration weights.
@@clickbaitcrawler The 170 did OK so I guess the 370 isn't too bad either. I know I am happy with mine. But it would be nice to know. The Reefs RAW 500 is another servo I would love to see tested.
That’s the best servo I have purchased so far. I have thousands of dollars into rc parts and that was the only servo so far that has been worth the money.
Rc review , I would love to see you guys test the reefs 777 as i just bought one. My friend went with the raw 500. We are both pleased with the strength and speed of the reefs and at that price point there is no comparison.
Then the 444 might be your cup-of-tea. The 555 is the same servo with steeper gears for more torque but slightly less speed. The 500-Raw is way faster than the 444 with just a hair more torque than the 555.
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.
Wow... Pretty impressive results, dude!!! 😮 Could you please test some from Banggood? Any brand, really... Because it's my only option to buying stuff here. 😕
Very good info. A video on how you put together your testing jig would be good too. Why did you not just connect the servo output directly to the fish scale?
I found a redcat gen 8 that was half submerged in the mud in a stream. It had obviously been swept downstream and it was there for awhile because it was oxidized to hell. Everything was completely waterlogged.The Savox servo still works and as a matter of fact I still use it in that same redcat after rebuilding it. Testament to quality ?
RC Review haha no pun intended. Should go great with the 8247x servo horn and ssd brass portal covers on my tactical. Any brushed motor upgrades you would recommend or is the 21t titan motor good enough for general use?
With a bunch of them you see a downward trend due to heating up. It would be interesting to see how servos hold up with repeated pulls over an interval and where they stabilize. Something like 20 or 30 pulls, 10, 15, 20, 30 or 60 seconds apart and see how their performance changes over time.
I seen you had a JX Hv servo in the line of servos to be tested in the video, but never tested it? I have 3 Jx Bls7132 HV servos they are supposed 5o have 32kg at 7.4. If you have this servo, can you test it and tell me the results? Thanks great video!
You need to factor in the current draw. Some are drawing 8 or 9 amps to make that torque which they may not have when connected in RC system. Some also get hot and then perform a lot differently. In many applications it is about repeatability and accuracy more than max torque.
It was tested at 16.8 volts. It's crazy strong but it gets hot and it's flexing our test machine. We have . avideo too of it pulling at 14 volts and that and 11 volts are better for it. Very strong and stable ua-cam.com/video/trgpe-b84PM/v-deo.html
I thought this was going to be really great, but I have to be honest, I haven’t enjoyed any of this servo test series. That doesn’t mean tho that you shouldn’t have done it. I’m sure you have helped tons of people with this. I just thought for some reason it would be more exciting. But I Should learn to temper my expectations. Either way thanks for doing all this work for us. It is appreciated
Rrrrright. Not perfect for sure but it's given us much content during this busy time for us (on the day job). So just putting the data out there and not too much production or presentation. Hope folks find the content useful.
I'm finding your servo content extremely helpful. @KReGaDeTH not sure why you would offer negative words to free content that is useful. Your statement would seem to suggest you should find your excitement in a different location.
Been using Bluebird brushless titanium alloy geared servos for my 1/10th and 1/8 crawlers and they have never failed me. I suspect they will last forever. Also have some Savox which are equallly good but more expensive...
The savox squealed like it was getting killed. I find my various savoxes to be usually loud and annoying. Surprised that the spektrum, Hi-tec and tekin were so quiet! I know what i will buy next.
Hi; Thanks for sharing all the info and clearing up some of the claims out there. I looked at the SAVOX SB2230SG site and they run it at 7.4v. You did it at 8.4v @ 41.6kgs if I am correct. Can you check it at 7.4v as they claim to have a torque of around 580 oz and give me an answer if it still stands up to the test.
Having a torque monster is nice but if it's loud it's a hard pass for me. I have a Savox on my trx4 build and I can't even stand to drive it half the time it's so noisy. Usually I'm out in the woods trying to relax with my truck, last thing I want is some annoying buzz coming from a steering servo.
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.

Can you test some ProModeler servos
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..

Hey Hey !!! merry Xmass my man , I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate this test , I ended up buying the Holmes hobby servo you tested!!
Is the Hitec at 2:40 really only drawing 1.8 amps at max torque? That's a few times more efficient than the other ones. How do they do it?
Awesome !
Wanna see some more HDPower servos 🙏🏼
No need to tell us its a Savox, we can tell by the noise.
TechnoDuck the promodeler have a sweet sound too

can you show Spektrum S9120Bl 1/5 Torque Metal Servo horn for Traxxas xmaxx installation

Aren't those like 500$ servos?
How come the Holmes 550v3 is tested at 10V?
I recently bought the Reef Triple5 and I love it, I actually think is it waaaaay too much xD
Then the 444 might be your cup-of-tea. The 555 is the same servo with steeper gears for more torque but slightly less speed.
The 500-Raw is way faster than the 444 with just a hair more torque than the 555.
A three figure $ervo!
I have the Triple 4 and the Triple 5; the 5 is definitely a little slower than the 4, but has mammoth power!
Tekin are the best! Very well made and totally silent with any amount of load!

Yeah we need to see a test on the 3 brothers servoes
FC tested the 3-Brothers G11 servo at 11.1 and 14.8V on one of his previous videos.
@@billderas3420 I want to see results for the G13. It would have fit right in spec wise with the servoes tested on this video
Very good info. A video on how you put together your testing jig would be good too. Why did you not just connect the servo output directly to the fish scale?
Mines the Holmes hobby one but I have the version 2 it’s been a good servo !
What about the 3 brothers g13?
Thanks for all your good work, very interesting.
Sure did enjoy this💎😎
Outstanding work!!! 👍
Last one at 10v was beast
I was a fan of JR back 20 years when I was racing qscale. Are they still around and good quality?

Gotta see an update on this one. Is the rig still around?
Thank you, thank you.
And what about their speed? How was the torque affected by voltage? This test was missing a few other key tests.
Yay just purchased my Holmes hobbies shv500v3!
We won’t steer you wrong :)

We tried to get that and the G12 but really limited availability.
Great info!
Do you have this for cheapo servos also?
I have been using the ZOSKAY 35kg servo with great results!

No Hitec D845 or any Hilantronics?
do you have this for the 1/24 scales?
Do the manufacturers measure with an arm or centered on the shaft?
They official spec is oz/in is 1 inch away from center.
For kg/cm, it's 1 cm away from center.

Missed out testing the 170tbl race servo and not the 370tbl crawler servo. My question how many of those $10 fish scales would read differently...
Beef tubes just came out with a servo, will you be testing that?
i want to ask that can i use MG995 servo motor on 7.4 V , will it burn ? or work normally ?
The 3 Brothers seems to be the best deal in premium Servos...
No need to announce the Savöx - the NOISE gives them away!! 😜
