I got a few HXT900 to try out. I went on a review from XJet on his website http://www.rcmodelreviews.com/chineseservos1.shtml

At $3.50 each I can get 4 for the price of one HS-55, so I thought even if they are terrible quality, they were worth a try. I will have some of them at the field on Sunday for show and tell.

Cheers

MVVS 35 3-blade. Sorry, can't give any advice myself as I've only run a 2-blade on a U-Can-Do.
One of the people with the most knowledge on MVVS is Pe Reivers. He's an MVVS dealer and has several forums to help MVVS owners. I'd be surprised if he doesn't know.
I've added 2 links. The first relates to a question about a 3-blade on a 35 and the second is Pe's support forum.
3-blade question:

I have been using the HXT900 servos for a few months now and they are fantastic. Been using them a EPP combat and they have taken a beaten. The only thing that has broken on them has been the gears, which you can replace with the spare gear sets that are available as well.
