For this price tag it has an incredible amount of torque. I use this to steer my 1/10th scale rock crawler with an extra pound of weight in each tire! I havent had a single problem with it yet. I would recommend this servo to anyone, regardless of budget!

attempted to use it for steering a 3.3 Revo

Comments:

This servo is complete garbage. It's far slower than advertised and is unable to function properly. I tried 4 of these servos with 2 different radios and they are all crap regardless of system or application. DO NOT BUY.

Strong, torquey, cheap (~$10) but inaccurate, doesn't center properly. Today it has been superseded by the MG996R, which is mechanically similar but a lot more accurate.

I got a batch of them tower pro´s, don´t know the difference to the toward pro but seems to be the same. They are cheap and strong and they can take some bumps but not suitable for a plane or heli cause centering is awful and they do overshoot a lot hence not very precise but for a cheap steering servo it suits my needs.
