During testing to find the best servo for the price, i tried ordering "Futaba" from eBay and was terribly disappointed. There is a post where i tell people to not buy them. After ordering a sample pack of servos from a supplier, one of the samples was Futaba. I tried them, and they worked amazing, unlike the eBay version. After contacting the company, they informed me that Futaba is very popular and there are knock-off's on eBay.

( This is a dollar and donuts thing if you know what I mean )
I have a Hexapod robot that runs 18 servo's
a lot of people say buy a good high torque servo like the Hitec HS-5645MG at Tower Hobby price of
$45.29 each
Modulation: Digital
Torque:
4.8V:
143.0 oz-in (10.30 kg-cm)
6.0V:
168.0 oz-in (12.10 kg-cm)
Speed:
4.8V:
0.23 sec/60
6.0V:
0.18 sec/60
Weight: 2.12 oz (60.0 g)
Dimensions:
Length:
1.59 in (40.4 mm)
Width:
0.77 in (19.6 mm)
Height:
1.48 in (37.6 mm)
Motor Type: 3-pole
Gear Type: Metal
Rotation/Support: Dual Bearings
Instead I use a Hextronik HX12k from HobbieKing
Hextronik HX12k
208oz@6V(TowerPro MG995) High Speed, High torque Servo
Stall torque:15.0kg/cm (6.0V)
all other specs near identical to the Hitec servo
COST $7.95 each
now for Hitec servo's 18 times $45.29 = $815.22
and for Hextronik servo's 18 times $7.95 = $ 143.10
that's a difference of $672.12
and this is where the donuts come in ...$ 672.12 IS A LOT OF DONUTS.
If you blow the gears in the Hitec it's $21 plus change to get a new set, if you blow a gear in the Hextronik you chuck it and buy 3 more for around the price of 1 Hitec servo set or buy 2 more and some more donuts.
