I could pick a quality servo using a blind taste test. Sound is everything. You can tell everything about a servo by how it sounds.

Wait your reccomending a servo you've never tried? Bad form mate.

Sound isn’t everything though, had a savox sw0320 (I think, was a 15kg waterproof one) in my Traxxas trx4 for 2 years being submerged before it sounded awful but it ran for another 2 years before it burnt out

Promodeler servos all the way. It’ll be the last time you have to worry about a steering or braking servo. I have two DS2180BLDP servos installed and a DS1735BLDP for braking. From reinforced hard points to bronze bushings, there is nothing better than Promodeler in my opinion. Each DS2180BLDP is 2,180Oz-in torque and DS1735BLDP is 1,735oz-in torque. What a beast.

That’s cool but not practicle. It’s way over kill. But I like it.
Only place to buy pro modeler servos if straight from pro modeler.
I love the pro modeler stuff. I do have a bunch of his servos.
Each servo draws 14 amps on 2s
Straight battery power.

Could you show me the data to support the 14A draw? I have very different results from a power meter running 3 1/5scale Promodeler servos from a single 2S LiIon pack. 90% of the session (25min) average 3.7A with occasional spikes to almost 5.0A, and one single spike at 7.6A.
No, I just own a lot of them and have put them to the test. Unbiased data from power meters have been more than impressive. You can only buy direct from ProModeler. It helps ensure customer satisfaction and to an extent, quality control.

Still smells fishy for someone that "supports" a company you are awfully defensive toward criticism of their products. The last bit where you state purchase only from promodeler to ensure customer satisfaction?

I can understand WHY you might say that. If I owned PM or sold their servos, I would be proud to say so. That said, this is a Hobby for me as much as it is for you and anyone else. I say this because you asked about a servo recommendation and I happen to know which ones will work for you since I have years of experience with this platform and over 30yrs of RC experience. Bottom line, if you want a stellar servo that will outlast the rest of the RC components, then I suggest the Promodeler servos

Good enough for me
For the money... yes that be correct. Specially if their specs are accurate and they are durable.
