Again WHY? Which servo did you have issues with and what was the problem? Yours is only the second post I have found with negative comments on ProModeler servos the other coming from HARIBO and his comments are ..... uh.....well...... "if you can't say anything nice"

I would be very interested in learning what you experienced as I have started using ProModeler servos in all my new builds.

I lost a brand new EF- 92" LAZER on the 3rd flight, right ailron locked in full right roll. brand new everything, EF hd servo extentions, Spektrum ar 9110 new gens ace 3500 x2 . Sill had throttle , rudder. and elevator, no brown out. battery voltage 4.04 on all cells. been flying for 45years, fly 3d helis and planes. Every plane for me or any one else i use load tester on servo for set up. I use bk servos or mks servos on all my heli never had a servo failure. Airplanes i use hi tec or mks . Never had a failure. I every asked John about my setup, he said no problem. John refunded me for the servos. Plane flew right by me and the right ailron was full up. I chopped power, slowed way down before hitting the ground. Tried so hard to fly it with rudder, but no good. John said the servo was locked from impact, NO WAY. Iwill go back to using hitec, or mks. NEVER Never ever will i use his servo again. Im on disabillity . MY lazer will not be replaced. Yes John is a very nice person, but i will never try his servos again. But im out a 1000 irframe.

I have a friend who had a similar experience with PM. He won't use them again.

I also sent John my RX, found nothing wrong with it. Been flying the Rx in my AW edge 540 with hitec servos. Flys perfect

As does my Turbo Raven now with Savox 1260 and my 104 EF Extra V2 with Savox 2290 and Hitec D645 on the throttle with the “dreaded” Powersafe receiver.

I been flying spektrum power safe for years, with no problem at all. In my helis i use the ikon with spektrum stats, never had a failure. My Synergy E-5s, E-7se, 766, and my 516 are all spektrum stats never had a problem. My e-7se is my go to heli, 2500 flights im now starting to wear out the bearing. My DX-18 gen 2 been awesome. All ships have bk or mks servos. My e-7 and the 516 are my demo birds. I beat the hell out of them.

I know the Savox 1270’s are very popular also.. i have a couple 2230’s on rudders on they handle it well! But all the rest are a mix of Hitec and Mks in all my birds. I bought four of the Pro Modelor 305’s to try out.. they are decent but i think the specs are off personally... they say .07 but i feel like my 7955’s are faster at .15

ive had servos twitch , buzz ,overheat , fail , strip and seize all of which weren't Promodeler servos. flew the N9 and E7's and Goblins planes , jets and giant scale with JR/Spek system and lost many aircraft and had lots of servo issues from mks,hitec jr and spek . switched to futaba and promodeler for a winning combination. its easy to blame a servo when the real problem is the builder
