does anyone know anything about Blue Bird servos?

found a place on the net where you can buy them CHEAP ( like a 100 oz./.10 speed @6.0v plastic geared $16.95) and was wondering if they are worth a dime?

I wouldn't think plastic gears would hold up under that kind of torque???? :(

i dont know where i read it.. but i THINK they were rebadged hitecs, or made by the same company in the back or something....

i do know they are used in airplanes usually....

cheap alternatives for basher cars i say..

I noticed in an RC Driver magazine that they used a blue bird BMS-621 in the J concepts 4wd buggy but they didn't review the servo, just the car. Does or has anyone used a blue bird in their vehicles?

The Blue Birds I have are pretty descent, I`m using them in a plane, however, but I think they are great. They are very smooth, and not a lot of slop in them that I have noticed. I have the 380 max, and 371 servo`s and I like them.

I've got a friend I race with that uses them in his sedan and for off-road with no problems.

I just ordered one of the 126 in oz with .17 sec @ 4.8v. Cost $22.40. If I remember, I will post back when I get to try it out.

I just got the servo in the mail today. Have not had a chance to put it on my MGT. You can see through the sides of the servo. it looks like all the gears are metal. I will post back once I get to try it out.

When I plugged in the servo, it made all my servos spaz out. No matter what I have tried works. Slickzero is replacing the servo. Their service is great. When I get the servo, I will post back and let you know how it works.
