I got this servo from my LHS and put in my new Yokomo YZ-2 CAL3 and holy moly this servo is fast and strong. I have been a fan of the Protek 160T and Spektrum 6240 for my 1/10 rigs but this servo is my new favorite. Great job Reefs.
I installed this servo in my EB410 yesterday (Friday, Feb 22, 2019). After installation, I was setting end-points and trimming out steering and noticed how quiet and smooth this servo seemed to operate. In addition to smooth, quiet operation, the end-point adjustment setting was in the high 80s (percent) in both directions. Most of the higher torque servos I own have end-point settings are down in the higher 60s (percent) AND seem to vary widely in both directions. This is important to me because after adjusting end-points on other servos, I notice I have no steering. So, I need to re-adjust end-points back up to a higher number. This tells me that to achieve the steering I need, I must risk damage to the buggy or servo. With this servo, I didn't have that problem. I had all the steering needed without stressing the servo or buggy. Again, a very quiet servo with almost zero buzz when stressed, under load at maximum throw in either direction. Given the price of this servo, buyers can get a powerful brushless servo in a full aluminum case (bottom of the case, too) at the cost of servos with less features.
I bought the 299LP servo for my mew B74 build. This servo is amazing! Super fast! More than enough torque for a mod 4wd buggy! I switched my b6.3d servo to a REEFS RC 299LP servo as well! Best 1/10 racing servo hands down! Solid, powerful, super fast, programmable servo with a price that can't be beat!
Also important to know that Reefs has this servo rate as being SUBMERSIBLE WATERPROOF. And I can attest to that.
I've owned many different brands of servos but reefs is favorite now. I own the 777 amd 299lp and their both best of the best.
I love the face of equipment so far haven't got a chance to test it but it's very smooth
Super fast light and durable great choice for any drag car in my opinion.
This servo is just amazing. My new favorite servo at this price point and also programmable. I love that you can also set Sanwa SSR and Futaba SR mode for even more feeling out of this impressive servo (USB programmer needed for this). Sorry Protek but I just sold all my 160TBL and only getting these servos from now on. The protek had too much deadband at neutral which I don't like and also the reefs is much stronger at any voltage 6volt (amazing) and at 7.4 volts or more this servo is just insane. The only servo that I like more than this one is the MKS 599sl but it cost way more. Highly recommended.
This servo was tested in a 2wd buggy and in my wheeler B74.2D both at 6 volts.
Best all around servo for the price. super fast and super strong.
Bought two for a 21.5t Cougar & 8.5t XLS Cat and love 'em. Super quick, strong and look good too.
Perfect quality, I have used Reefs servos on my crawlers and street cars for a while now. I will say that this is by far the best for the money.
Best servo I have ever used!! Highly recommend!!.................
Excellent compact Servo very responsive and accurate. Got it fast from AMain Hobby
Fast shipping but I was expecting this servo to be stronger than stock. I’m sure it will outlast a stock servo,but I’m not sure this is the strongest one
Biggest waste of money. I purchased this servo for rear steering on my axial Capra. After 15 minutes of use the steering began acting like it had 0 power then would glitch out. After a reset on the truck I got the servo back for about a minute and with no load on the chassis and tires you could hear grinding. The end points were set correct and there was a bec connected and it was set to 6 volts. I guess all the rumors are true concerning the company “reefs”. Never again will I buy a product made by reefs or will I purchase a product that is recommended by the company. Biggest waste of money ever. Do yourself a favor and stay away.
