Fantastic servo! Blazing fast, great centering, the o-ring seals are great as the tail servo is usually the one that gets a bath in nitro exhaust oil.

I don't think you can find a better quality servo at this price point. And Made in the USA! Not to mention, the customer service is the best! Thanks John for an amazing product!

I have been flying this servo with Vbar Neo and Futaba CGY750 with great success. This servo has the holding power, speed, and precision to propel your helicopter in fast tail forward flight and I recommend it without any reservations.

So I had finally settled down and decided to build my own electric 3D machine, as opposed to buying used machines . . . a little background info; I've been flying helicopters for close to 30 years and advancing continually. I have my own style of flying that is heavily reliant on the tail rotor, some flights consist of constant pirouette maneuvers; yes, pirouetting tick-tocks,  pirouetting-flips, pirouetting-loops during the entire pack. Not really smack flying necessarily (but I gravitate there occasionally).



Being heavily into pirouette work, I need a tail rotor servo that delivers power in a very defined manner. It needs to possess the ability to hold a yaw input whether it varies or not for the entire pack without getting hot. It also needs to give me fine minute adjustments with authority. Anyway, this DS120BLHV is a decently powerful servo that can tackle large tail rotor inputs without stalling, but still have that silky feeling back at the sticks. This is something I've only felt with the ProModeler servos.

Then there's the build quality. They look like they were built with a specific purpose, and then there's the great summary on the care that went into making this servo. Don't get me started on price comparisons of the competition because, there is no competition. These servos have power, precision, excellent build quality, and a great price point. Plus a live person you can easily reach out to if you have concerns.



When I was searching for servos for this build I was overwhelmed by how many servo manufacturers were out there . . . and I noticed many of them had catchy graphics on them. Yeah, but what's inside? Dang you're expensive, how's the support? Anyway, while I'm sure many of those servos are great performers, they lose me out on the price point and don't have all attributes I mentioned earlier.



Anyway, John, you make the best servos, thanks!

So I bought this 760us tail servo and 1520us cyclic servos to go into a KDS 5.5. After 3 months of flying the servo is still performing perfect. Tail was super easy to tune using Brain 2 FBL. I am now going to move it over to a XL Power 550. Also ordered mini servos to match. So far I am impressed with the servo quality.


Still buttery smooth after 3years!

First thing I noticed is the DS120BLHV moves the tail very crisply - and fast! In service since January 2015 it’s been very reliable despite a handful of crashes. It's buttery smooth and performance is great. Thank you for making a great product and providing top notch customer service!

Sometimes it seems as we advance in our hobby, we can become a little 'snobby' about brands and part cost. It's understandable, we have a lot invested and want the best performance possible. But, if this was a 'Prada' or 'Hermes' brand costing 3X as much, I bet they'd be in all the designer helis - don't get any ideas, John! Anyway, this in my soXos Strike 7 and paired with exceptional hardware and electronics where it's a perfect match! The quality and design are top notch.
