Application(s): Elevator, rudder and throttle for an RCM Trainer 60 (plans built), 60-sized trainer using a .56 4-stroke. Servos driven by Hitec Optima 9 Rx. Using 6.0V (5-cell) Enerloop NiMH battery pack.

Comments: High rating is because these are excellent for the price with high performance and reliability. Response is fast and accurate. Broader possible arc than similar servos - you can set them to +/- 150% from Tx and they'll do it. They don't chatter/hunt if stick position is constant. Stall current is good compared to similar. Standard current draw is also relatively good. Got 4 of these in a package deal with Aurora 9X and Optima 9, for an included set of budget servos they are as good as you'll find. Superior in every way to other budget servos I've tried. Karbonite gears are robust. Had a bad crash, all the cheap nylon geared servos stripped, all my 5485's were 100% OK.
