Let me start by saying that Amain hobbies customer service is top notch, and exactly why an occasional bad product experience does not stop me from doing business with them even though ProTek is their brand. Like most people, I ordered this servo as an upgrade from the RTR servo (for my son), the price is right and the specs are too good to be true for the price point. I have used lots of ProTek stuff before and I am usually very happy with their products. However, these servos are hot garbage, plain and simple. I will say that we are off road track racers only, no bashing or any kind of abuse. First servo lasted about two races, then got a mind of its own and started wandering and glitching really bad, sometimes all the way from lock to lock on its own. It would constantly lose center also. This cost my son what was going to be his first Amain win ever as it happened half way through his race. I sent it back and they gave me another one. I installed it and my son ran two packs through it until it literally just died. No response at all, just dead to the world. I did extensive troubleshooting and verified it was the servo. So they sent me another one. This third servo lasted about one race before it started glitching exactly like the first one did. Every time they sent me a brand new servo, so this was three different failed units in a row. Every time I did extensive trouble shooting to rule out radio or related issues. It was just three bad servos in a row, plain and simple. I would be ok with one bad servo, maybe even two, but three in a row is a statement about a serious product issue in my book. Love ProTek products, like their batteries for example, but I would stay away from their low grade servos until they get out a wicked hot iron to get the wrinkles in this product out. I replaced it with a XP servo that cost about $100 and have not had a single problem 10 full races with heats later and counting.
I rock the 100ss in both my rides, the SC5M and My B5Mlite Amazing the response is hands down amazing and for 49.99 you cant go wrong, If your like me and take great pride in your setups then this Servo by Protek is for you.
I have both the 100S and 100SS. Onc in my Blitz ESE and the others in my Blitz flux. I love both the servos and would definitely buy again, but would probably upgrade to the 130 series. Thanks A Main !!!
The Protek 100SS I use them in my Synergy E7 and N2 FBL Velocity Protek my best 100SS
This is a great servo for the price! Its specs are top notch! The servo is extremely fast and has plenty of torque. I know that if I mess up it is because of the driving, not the servo. It doesn't glitch and runs cool. The only downside is that it is a tad noisy, but is hardly noticeable on the track. Great servo!
Reviews of the ProTek RC 100SS Standard Digital Metal Gear Servo are sharply divided. Many reviewers, including owners of 1/10 buggies, touring cars and stadium trucks, praise its speed, torque, value at roughly $50, and quiet operation, with some reporting long-term use without failure. A large group reports early failures, including stopped response, glitching or wandering, seized or tight gears, and receiver-killing faults, sometimes within days or weeks; several note repeated failures across multiple units. Some reviewers report that AMain replaced failed units promptly, while international buyers cite shipping costs and hassle. One reviewer reports glitching when used with TSM gyros, and another reports the servo is limited to 6V. Reliability is the most frequently raised concern, and outcomes appear to vary considerably between units.
- + Fast response and good speed
- + Strong torque for the price
- + Good value at around $50
- + Quiet operation
- − Reliability failures and early breakdowns
- − Glitching, wandering or freezing steering
- − Gear and motor failures
