I hear they are horrible. They are said to be the worst servo ever made. The ones sold today are a clone of a clone of a budget servo no longer made. Look at this You Tube Vid:

Haha, that answers that one then thanks for the link.

As another question then, can anyone recommend a reasonable priced one available in the uk?

What about the HD servo that's offered on EZ Robots web store? I know it's not shipped from within the UK but it will arrive at least as fast (maybe). They ship from China. I've had several shipment from EZ Robot's China shop via DHL and they have arrived here in the USA in less then a week.

I love the MG995 servos. They're fantastic and I have never experienced an issue with one.

How do these look? Mg996r's?

Looking to control 2 omnibot 2000 arms, and pan tilt for the head.

I use the Mg 995's for the arms on my omnibot and they are plenty strong. I have not any issues with them either.

The 996's are great too. The price makes them ridiculously useful. And if you ever break one, its little financial effort to replace. I have bought expensive servos in the past, and they broke. That's a real kick in the face when an expensive servos dies. So now I use popular and affordable servos

DJ...i could not agree more, I like the MG995 too, i plan on using them on my next build of a Quadruped no problem for a budget servo, if you are expecting high end performance you can always go with high end servos like Savox, but it's unfair to be expecting high performance and quality from a reasonably cheap servo.
