Cool, thanks. This looks like the original that all the cheapies are copied from. Would have been worth getting these to start with.

Thanks Dave, I'll give these a go. I can get two of these shipped to Australia for just a bit more than one HS-65MG will cost me from HK.

I swear my quad is cursed! Got two of these servos and installed them in my shiny new camera mount: http://quadframe.com/collections/frontpage/products/g01k

One of them failed before I even got off the ground! Burnt out ir something, it twitches, gets really hot and causes the APM to brown out. I'll see if I can get a replacement out of Giantcod. So that's 4 servos my quad has eaten now.

I guess what you pay for. This time I'll bite the bullet and get some Hitec servos.
