    Comments:

    Good value for money if you dont mind a bit of tinkering. All 3 servos seemed to have different resolution but after stripping them I found that there was run-out on the motor pinion and its mating gear. Being at the start of the gear train this could easily be fixed by removing the other gears and running the motor with a little grinding compound in the gears. Any play created here will have virtually no effect on the accuracy of the servo but friction between these 2 gears has a big effect on the apparent resolution of the servo. It remains to be seen how well they hold up over time.

    Seems to work fine. Has huge overshoot. There is a detailed review out there, google it.
