Difference between Xpert R1 and ProTek 270 servos?

[jhamel]

I am interested in purchasing another set of Xpert R1 servos. I am trying to figure out what is the difference (other than price) between the ProTex 270TBL (cyclic and tail) vs. the Xpert branded R1 servos (cyclic and tail)?

I called Amain today, and the guy I talked to was not aware of these ProTek servos. The helicopter technician who would know is out sick.

Does anybody here have any experience with these ProTek 270TBL/SBL servos?

They are identical. Only differences are the slight case design change and the name on the servo!

I learned from Amain that the ProTek cyclic servos are rebranded Xpert R1/R2 servos with the same internal components and the R1/R2/ProTek cyclic gears are interchangeable. However, they could not confirm that the ProTek tail servo internals are exactly the same as the Xpert R1/R2. Can you comment on this?

I just ordered a set of ProTeks, as I loved the one 150T, I got for my race truck, back in the day! Looking at vids showing the Xperts, I am pumped, they look like a great choice. But, now I'm curious,. if they are the exact same internals, why are the specs so much different? the ProTeks are showing a lot more Torque, than either the R1 or the R2s!

Proteks = Dynamic Torque @ 6.0V - 395 oz-in (28.4 kg-cm)
R2 = @ 6.0V: 296.45 oz-in (21.43 kg-cm)
R1 = @6.0V: 296.45 oz-in (21.43 kg-cm)

Guess I could have just answered my own question,.. ie: dynamic torque?
