Looks so good!!!!!!! Takes up no space! Performs flawlessly in my b6.1! Just bought another for my b74! Pairs perfectly with my hobby wing motors and j concepts black and silver titanium turn buckles!
Great Servo, Great price. Vary smooth and consistent movement in steering. Will be putting these in all my cars.
one of the best servos out there period, been a few years since i used them and so far i have not run into any problems with them! Awesome servos!
MKS is my new favorite servo. I have five now and will be using them in all of my new rides.
MKS HBL550LX is an amazing servo. It's works as beautiful as it looks Smooth, fast, dialed accuracy and can take a beating. I believe the torque specs listed are lower than the servo actually provides, as the 550 torque seems to be the same as the 599. MOD wheeler no problem this servo will handle and do so flawlessly.
Reviewers overwhelmingly rate the MKS X5 HBL550LX highly, praising its speed, torque, centering accuracy, compact low-profile fit and durability across 1/10 buggies, trucks, touring and drag cars, with several owners buying multiple units. Recurring criticisms are noise (one reviewer calls it noisy, another very loud), a tight horn fit, and a possible gear-damage risk in hard crashes given its shallow gears. One reviewer reported a grinding unit out of the box and said MKS did not respond to their support request, while another owner reported a gear repair handled by MKS for a fee. One reviewer doubted the stated torque and speed figures, while others felt they were conservative. Most reviews are five-star and from verified owners.
