MKS X5 HBL550 any good?

Hey gents

Looking for some servos for my 105 Slick w Gp 123. Was gonna buy 777a+ but saw the HBL550 wich look good and are cheaper, are they any good? Or is it better to go with the 77777777

Tried to find some info on Fg about this product but theres few.

Thx!

I put them in my EF 104” Laser... they are fast and strong on the ground.. nice and quiet.. center nice.. but I have not had a chance to fly it yet so I can’t say 100% but all my other MKS servos are great so I’m sure I’ll b happy with them.

We have them on our 105" slick and 42% Hyperlite Slick. We have been very impressed with them.

i use the 599s. i like them way better than the 380s.

these 550s will work fine but if you are super picky, you most likely will not be happy with how they feel in the air.

I have 8 of them in my T-3 jet. Been very happy with them so far. No issues here.

I’ve been selling a lot of 550’s lately. Most of the guys I’ve sold them to are using them in 70cc planes and so far so good. They’ve been working great. I don’t see any reason they wouldn’t work well in a 100cc as well.

This will be the first time I use MKS servos and it seems like a great deal.
