DS180DLHV vs D645MW

Nearly 500 years ago, a fellow name of Machiavelli wrote . . .

'If you come for the king, you best not miss!'

. . . and in the world of RC-servos, with +300 servos under their belt, the king is Hitec - undisputed. Nobody handed them the title, either. It's taken decades of offering good servos at good prices, in other words, they've 'earned' their place.

For old timers, it likely began with the HS-645MG. Followed by the HS-5645MG (when the world shifted from analog to digital), the latest iteration, but now at high voltage, their D645MW, outputting 180oz-in @ 0.17sec/60° is top dog

So with the DS180DLHV, we take our best shot at earning your business. It's you who decides, is it a miss or clean hit?

. . . and heads up, both are $40 servos. Ours is one in a series of five, the DL-series. Range in output from 90-360oz-in, and are priced from $30-50, they're not cheap or cheaply made. So they may be a lot of money, what do you say about bang for the buck? We in the running for your business?

  • An open letter to model airplane designers
    Introduction I have grown to hate anything other than plate-mounted servos for wing and stab control surfaces. Yet models are still brought to market – some pretty expensive ones, too – with old school servo installation. Like this one.
