I bought them for a new build and so it will be along time before I get to use them, so my comments are just related to what is in the box. I think the included plastic arms are much too small for such a powerful servo. I also found it difficult to get the supplied screws to tighten down. The servo screws from Micro Fasteners are better, the hex cut out is deeper and better formed although both use a 2 mm driver. That is all I can comment on at this time.
First time I ordered Service was quick shipping was reasonable and the product looks great The servos are not in an airplane yet but I have high expectatitons.
I 'm glad this servo replaced the 160oz. servo. the 180 fits the bill in a wider application for me. I still have some 60"-67" WS nitro planes that I fly for fun and to try new maneuvers and this servo does the trick. it is also my throttle servo for my larger gas planes as well. my five star rating is for customer service as well as the servo. John does his best to do the right thing. I have used all the model servos and have over 50 of them.
I have tried a few digital servos in the past, and could never get past the high frequency noise they make. The sound of them drove me crazy! These ProModeler digital servos are very quiet, at first I thought they weren't working properly as there was no high pitched buzzing when I turned the model on. I was pleasantly shocked at how quiet they were once I started moving the controls. I was so impressed with the quality of these servos and the AMAZING customer service that I bought seven more for the next model I am building. Great product, some of the best customer service I have ever seen, and a good price. What's stopping YOU from buying some?
I heard about these servos from a guy in our club. Prior to that, I didn't even know these existed. I'm more of a sport flyer but I love scale planes. I decided to check them out so I ordered four of the 180oz-in, Std, 3-pole - DS180DLHV servos. They came very promptly and well packaged. So I wanted to try one out. I hooked up my standard receiver pack and receiver and was totally surprised at how strong and accurate it was. I'll be ordering more of these to be sure. Looking to put them in a 1/5th scale warbird soon. Keep up the good work.-- John Sohm, Stone Ridge, NY

I have purchased many servos from all the usual manufacturers. Since I have done a lot of off-roading 1/10,1/8,1/5 sized vehicles I usually buy metal geared servos for the steering duty. I noticed that even the expensive ones have quite a bit of "slop" in the movement of the servo. Slop allows "play" to exist in the steering action of your model. On an off-road car, its not so critical, but on a on-road car its important to have nice and tight steering action, otherwise your car will wander all over the road, especially under acceleration. I heard good things about this company's servos so I decided to give them a try. This DS180DLHV to my complete surprise has absolutely NO slop or play whatsoever. I'm absolutely amazed considering the price. But, it doesn't stop there. I find it very responsive with plenty of power. I have since ordered two more. One for a 1/10 scale F1 car and the other for a 1/8 on-road Nitro car. I'm very pleased. - Mark Green, Zephyrhills, FL

I fly them A LOT during the week and weekends too. They don't even get warm and the best thing is that I can fly about 6-7 times on a 1300mAH 2s LiPo. They use VERY little mAH per flight. I believe they are at +400 flights already. These servos can handle a lot of hard flying. I won't fly any other servo's but these from now on.- Ray Malinis, Vista, CA

I heard about these servos from some modeling friends. I am working on a project that requires a servo with very little gear slop and tight centering. I purchased some DS180DLHV (180oz-in) servos to check them out. I am very impressed with the bench testing and will be replacing the Futaba flap servos in my Byron T-28 for flight testing. The ProModeler servos have more torque, less gear slop, and tighter deadband than the Futaba servos and cost less.
