Cheers Fly, thanks for the links. I have googled the ar$e out of it, I was just interested to know whether people here thought the difference in price for a digital was worthwhile when comparing the same rating model from the same supplier? Choices choices choices! John |

My take on it at the moment is that for general sport flying, probably not. For high precision, high performance flying it may well be.
For the Cub....naw.

From everything I have read, the E-Power servos that GC sell are essentially rebranded E-Max servos, anyway after my recent TX upgrade I decided I couldnt afford the Savox £14.99 a servo route right now. Last night I invested in 4 E-Max 12g MG (ES08MA) to try out. They are from china so I dont know if they maybe dodgy clones or not but then hey everything I buy from any model suppliers seems to be from china. They do come with original(?) boxes and arms as I asked in advance of purchasing, I dont know if this is a sign they maybe genuine (prob not)? Here they are cheapest I could find........ cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180512949854Note, I didnt buy from GC as no stock. John |

John John, I have E-Max ES08A's fitted to the Gem, bought from the big fish, still labelled as E-Max. These are the 8.5gram ones with nylon gearing, I'm very happy with them. The majority of Rob's kit is from China, he goes there quite a bit to source suppliers. The only thing you have to worry about is whether the E-bay seller is selling the same as Rob, or clones of them. |

Yeah in the worst cases of cheapo servos I've read the Metal gears can actually be softer than decent nylon ones!  , I hope they're not like that! John |

if it helps, my tail servos were ES08MA servos, and they just survived the crash shown in the crash subforum. i'd say they're nice, and a good deal in my case. mine came from heads up RC.
