ProTek 370TBL, savox 1210sg and other waterproof savox servos...these are neat to see!!

Ah... Thank you, sir We love your tester and your show

H i Francis love your videos,{long time watcher here},i think for the money i will stick to the amazon servos for like 17-20 dollar price point,i mean for the guy like me who trails and rock crawls locally here in Pa,they do just fine,i understand if one is competing in a contest or something that might justify the 100 dollars price tag of these servos....anyway, thanks for your always unbiased reviews, we need more guys like you in the hobby..Salutations from Ford City, PA.

Pretty impressive servos, dude! 😮 Great testing!!!

These ones are so smooth and repeatable. And the 555 is legend.

Wow, 555 it is, it has been settled 👍

Awesome video thank you

Great job. Thanks.

Loving the Reefs 555 in my Vanquish Pro which is my heaviest crawler (123 oz). Which also has a Reefs 299 LP in it to control the DIG unit. The Reefs 444 in my Capra seems strong; but, that crawler is my lightest unit (97 oz). And that has a Reefs 99 Micro for its DIG. Have been going all Reefs lately; but, my multiple Ecopower 120T servos in other crawlers continue to perform very well. Great bang for the buck!

Another great video ! Thanks. Have you seen the Boom Racing servo that is made just for axle mounted applications? It looks interesting to me. I'm not sure your setup could test it since it doesn't have end tabs but I sure would like to know how it stacks up.

422's and 444 have been great for me, not sure I really need a 555, but that is a good one you got there. Golden Ticket maybe? Kind of hoping that you have a Shift RC's scheduled in the test.

Yet another informative video!..THANKS!..Are you going to review that IFS kit for the element enduro?

Didn't think I ever needed a 500+ ounce servo until I realized I did when my tf2 wouldn't turn in certain angles on the rocks. Running a 9imod which claims 35kg but isn't enough . When entire of vehicle is leaning on the steering it won't do its job. time to play with the big boys ! Gettin the 555

Honestly I am not. I have run it now for a few weeks with zero issues. On the Sendero it has handled anything that I have thrown at it. I was just surprised that it was as much under the stated numbers as it was and the 555 was over the numbers. In the end performance is what matters not the numbers and it has performed well!

Can believe the 555 what a awsome servo and awsome price to go with it...

It is incredible. They slowed it down to get that torque but that's exactly what a crawler needs. And at 7.4 volts, it's plenty fast.

I am in the process of putting together an element Enduro kit build and these videos are really great tool to help me dial in my servo choice your channel has been very instrumental in helping me figure out the ends and outs of the chassis and electrical choices I will need to build my first crawling truck thanks and keep it up 👍🏾

Our next video will show the best/strongest servos around $100.

I run a 444 in my Axial Bomber. For a heavy vehicle it has been holding up well and with a u4 style truss my servo sits behind the axle and flush with the axle tube so it takes a beating but still hasn't given up yet.

Awesome

We actually have it already.

So is these just the same with different gearing within the servo? drawing the very similar amperage, one is faster with less torque, while the other is almost half as quick but with nearly double the torque. Seems like just a gearing change.

Will you be testing the 422HD? Sounds like a good price and the Gen8 Axe is shipping with it. I just bought one for a build so I'm curious.

I'm running the one from my Gen 8 Axe in my TRX6. Has plenty of power even at 6v. With EXP maxed out on steering it can throw the wheels side to side on descents. I'm very tough on it and it hasn't given me any fuss. Even submerged it in the creek a few times. The Gen 8 Axe edition had terrible steering geometry so it didn't give the servo a chance to shine.

555 is awesome and quite have one in my vanquish

We are learning as well and we are pleased. I bet the manufacturers are too.

As great as the testing results were, I'll be avoided Reef's servos. There's been a LOT of recent "bad" things coming out about the servos, as well as the owner/founder. Evidently, there's been a decent number of recent 'failures', stripped gears, etc. When pressed as to exactly what "metal" the gears are made of, he's badmouthed the customer. I've attached read several reports of "questionable" customer service that reminds me of another small servo manufacturer (ProModeler), who, when a customer was having problems running at 7.4V (on a servo claimed to support up to 8.4V), the owner told him, "You should only be running that at 6.0V." This despite the fact that he CLAIMS it runs up to 8.4V. Until I start hearing plenty of "positive" info about them, Reef's & ProModeler are two companies I'll avoid.

Reefs servos are by far my favorite due to their reasonable price, speed and torque. They are a small specialized company that can make a mistake once and a while. I own and use their 422, 444, and 555. I did have an older triple 4 fail on me with a snapped spline shaft which was due to a 6mm horn screw instead of a 10mm. The 10mm is now supplied with the servo. As for the gears in my opinion they are titanium coated aluminium. I would not hesitate to purchase 10 more of these servos. Give them a shot, you wont be dissatisfied.

100% agreed, titanium coated aluminum is ridiculous. Secondly calling a servo waterproof, then telling customers “nothing’s submarine proof” yet coming out with new servos that claim to be submarine proof?? Customers are your life blood and shouldn’t feel disrespected.

Any reason you didn't review the Reefs RAW 500? It looks to be as fast at the Reefs 444 but with more torque. I'm looking for a nice 'multipurpose high torque' servo and this has my interest. I LOVE your servo test set up and it is the only way to get a good idea of the 'real' values. I've recommended your channel now to many people.. THANK YOU.

Please test the Reefs Raw 500.

odd that the 444 would tank when the 555 is so far above. makes me wonder about quality control.

With that triple 5 you don't even need a motor. Just use the servo to walk it up the rocks.

on future reviews, would you be willing to check both inner and outer slots on the arm? for those of us who run shorter arms. thank you.

We've done that but the info is not very useful. the hole we use is one inch from center and that is the standard rating of the servo, Ounces Per Inch of center. If you us the inner hole, it will be stronger every single time with a consistent difference. It is a math calculation. The close ro center one measures, the stronger, proportionally.

RAW500HD is IP68 however to answer your question about triple 555 is IP67 or IP66. I own now the 555. It is waterproof/water resistant but not submarine proof. You can look/search KZread they is a test stay multiple days and was still working being fully in water. This test make me bought The Triple 555 and is amazing for me with full brass kit under shock load gravity. It won’t die if in water no worries but not submarine proof. It’s sealed servo like others and if going in water open it and add grease to it if needing.

Scales are so finicky. When weighing my carbon fiber bike, I've had completely different readings from different scales. Have you tried other scales for accuracy?

No, this was very consistent over dozens of weigh-ins before installed. Now, it's mounted on the jig so there's no way to use another scale. The good news is we test it from time to time using a contro servo and it does not change. We find if you use the same scale in the same mount and position each time, it does not change.

Not sure how old they are but they seem like a dynamic company really connected to the crawling scene. Pumping out a lot of relevant products these days.

Were the servos programmed to full power Part of these high end servo gimmicks is they come programmed at 80% so they can sell you a programmer to get the full 100%

in your tests, you really should compare the inner hole and outer hole on the servo horn, the inner hole will give more torque bro!!
