Default Re: New JR Servo.. WOW!

IMHO I have to totally agree that at about a hundred and forty bucks ($139) for a servo is too OVERPRICED!! I have thought that for a long time for the 8611's & 5955's that they are overpriced too, but at $139 -Cmon!! Do they come with a free tube of KY?? If not your getting it dry Geesh I wonder how much money in materials are really in one of those. I'd bet under $50!! Now dont beat me up here I can hear some of ya already! I know, I know research and development right? Well facto the matter is if they wanta make cash they gotta do the research. And as I see it not alot of research went into these other than a stronger motor and or geartrain came along which allowed this servo to be made. The designers of these servos also wait for the new and improved to come out so that they can slap a better piece together. So at 140 bucks a pop, I say, bend over dude and take it like a man!
Whats even worse is, I'm considering about a dozen of em

139 is actually a bad deal. if you need some search around before you pay 139 unless you want to support your local hobby shop
