The majority of the NSDRC product reviews are fake. All their products have reviews that are unverified, submitted around 6/1/2024, and from the same group of people. Open any two NSDRC products and compare the reviews to confirm.
My buddy and I race Mini-B Pro Stock and Mini-B Mod at the Hobby Town USA carpet track in Cincinnati. He has had 3 of these servos (one was replacement sent out) and one of the NSD servo savers fail in the last month. Luckily I only bought 1, and it failed last night as well, along with another guy trying this servo for the 1st time. None of the mentioned people are hacks and were running servo savers from NSDRC. This servo isn't like your traditional servo that goes lock to lock if you turn horn with power off, if that makes sense, it would just continue to rotate. So anyway, even with servo saver properly set up, if you bump the pipe, it will knock off your steering center by a good 20%, and then you're stuck trying to drive that, or to adjust your sub-trim mid race-very frustrating. Best combo I've found that works is the stock servo with the KYC servo saver for the Mini-B. I'll miss the speed, but I'll take accurate servo centering over speed.
Baller, bonkers, and badass are all perfect words to describe this little beast of a servo. It's so fast it blurs reality, and is strong enough to reverse the earth's rotation. In all seriousness, while it may seem a little bit expensive for a servo, the price is 100% worth the precision and power it will add to any micro rig. I would recommend getting an external BEC for anyone running an ESC without one, the BEC makes a massive difference in speed and torque. Don't hesitate, just buy it, your micro crawler will thank you.
Used as a gear shifter on my Ryft. Works very well.
I’m only giving NSDRC only three stars because of their lack of customer service. Until NSDRC resolves their issue I will not buy anything else from them. I have no gripe whatsoever with AMain as they have been fantastic with products I have received. I tip my hat to AMain
Reviewers broadly praise the RS100 micro servo's speed, power and precision, with many 1/24 and 1/10 owners calling it their preferred micro servo and describing long use without issues. Opinions diverge on durability: several owners report gear failures, intermittent operation or servo saver problems, including one detailed account of failures in competitive Mini-B racing. One reviewer alleges that many reviews for the manufacturer's products are unverified, but this claim is not substantiated in the reviews themselves and is not weighed here. Several reviews mention the included aluminium horn, an external BEC improving performance, and a note that the servo saver for mini B/T was not recommended by one owner. Reviewer experience with reliability appears mixed.
- + Fast and strong for a micro servo
- + Precise steering and shifting performance
- + Suitable for 1/24, 1/18 and 1/10 applications
- + Long-term reliability for some owners
- − Gear failures reported by some owners
- − Intermittent operation in some units
- − Servo saver issues for Mini-B racing
- − Steering centre shifts after impacts to the pipe
