94809 crash resistance

[Janosax]

Hi all!!

I'm thinking about those 94809 Airtronics servos for my T-Pro, as replacement to DS410M, and as a cheaper alternative to MKS DS95.

What about their crash resistance? Especially about their gears?

Some people say MG's nerver broke, but I disagree as I broke in past MKS 470 gears which were full MG.

The fact is is that I've never seen 94809 gear set anywhere. This can be a potential problem for maintenance IMO.

Another problem is that there is not a support of this brand as good in EU as in US.

And this is why I'm asking for some info on how these servos support crashes.


Thanks for help,
Jean

I have a set in a TT Mini Titan that I've had two nasty crashes with and didn't affect the gears.

I have 16 94809's in various aircraft. Planes and my FBL Rave 450. The Rave has been in hard no less than twice since I upgraded to the Airtronincs from the more expensive JRDS285MG's. The plastic arms break before the servo but never in flight. I can't speak for the MKS servos at all. The 94809's will not leave you wanting for anything except more time to fly the stuff you put them in. Nearly everything I own that takes that size servo now has 94809's. i have no affiliation with Airtronincs in any way, I just now know from experience that they rock.
