Look at postage £10 plus £8 per addition go to servo shop part of Steve web and get a futaba or whatever is correct for your system

he has futaba from £6.75 and you could colect them or try Formby models they have cheap servos

**** ebay, give webby or barry a call :) add postage for a 6 quid servo may take you to 10 quid TOPS, ebay is asking 10quid postage, "xxxxx" that! for that price you could have 3 from westbourne steve webb or howes

Ive got a couple. Very well made and they work, seem a bit subject to interference but not fitted in any boat yet so not tested in anger.

Yes they are £14.99 each on there, (£32.95 inc P&P for 2) one ebay seller wants £20 inc P&P for 4, so not the SAME price. Most of the eBay offers are for 2 servos
I'm not a fan of buying from HK, I always prefer to buy from UK suppliers.
I'm just wondering if the servos are worth any money, only one person seems to have tried them, anyone else?
One US RC group says they are OK, one says they are so-so.

Radio interference, when all else fails, sometimes comes down to metal components rubbing.  If these are prone to, as admin says "a bit of interference" they may come with a built in problem.  I would prefer to talk to someone with first hand experience of the product, and deal local, at least in the first instance.  Return postage to HK can take the cream off a bargain rather rapidly.

I do a lot of business with Steve Webbs withmy rc Helicopters, the service is superb, any probs, no questions asked, refund or replacement. Pity they are not big on boats. Steve also has an ebay shop, "cobbwebb" if you want to ebay, check out this, he often sells discontinued, faulty returns, split packs etc VERY cheap. Scale models in Runcorn is very good on boats, nothing is too much trouble, he is currently making a cast to reproduce some old Mersey Fittings for my Fireboat. Cant ask for more than that, forget Hong Kong!!
