MG995 servo review

[MTBikerTim]

I have had the TowerPro MG995 for a while. I bought it at the LHS as thier prices for the 645mg were steep and I needed a steering servo. What I read about these servos is that they are a good strong servo but they have centring issues. I have found this to be the case. I thought I would explain but decided instead why not make a video. The second video the servo behaved better but still not perfectly. what the videos don't show is the servo over shoots which is what causes the centring issue. This means the steering doesn't feel as precise as a more expensive digital servo.

As you can see in the videos mine is a little weird. It didn't start off that bad but has got progressively worse over time but it does still work and still has a bit of power. It is nothing though compared to the 5955tg in the video but that should be expected as it's about an 1/8th of the price.
