Club Members Mike.K 60 Posted February 8, 2020 Club Members Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) Be warned! I`ve had four of these digital servos fail immediately after installation. More fool me for inadvertently buying these Lofty Ambition servos via eBay. I bought a few on the basis of their being Tower Pro metal geared MG996R units. Clearly, they are not Tower Pro and examination of the labelling reveals the truth. I`ve had no issues with the Tower Pro units. I got caught good and proper with these near identical Lofty Ambition products. I`ve had this make of "knock off" servo loose centring, stall, produce smoke and seize. Not fit for the purpose is an accurate description in my opinion. Treat like The Plage...don`t touch them. Sooner or later, they may crash your model. Mine have had the wires cut off and are now destined for the Tandridge Borough waste disposal unit. I`ll no longer buy such rubbish. Fitting genuine Futaba, Hi-Tec or other reputable types makes sense. Mike Edited February 8, 2020 by Mike.K Typo corrections Link to post Share on other sites
