This servo has to be the best looking servo there is IMO.
Nice Machined Aluminum Heatsink with Black Anodizing, ETC.
The build construction is VERY VERY NICE... It feels very "sturdy" the way a high end servo should.

Here is a little video of it installed in my T3 FT.

On a scale of 1-10 (10 being best) here are my thoughts.
Value for the money: 8
Build Quality: 10
Speed: 7
Torque: 8

Overall its a VERY nice servo and should be perfect in just about any application.
Yes, I know my review is a bit vague but its my first one so bare with me. :teacher:

Thanks, James

Good Job James, and great to see you hop on the review wagon!!!

That's a neat looking servo, pictures are a bit blur though, no macro mode? Would be nice to see the detail on it. I like how the servo leads are nice and short, I hate having to bundle them up!

Yea sorry about the Bluryness... It was X-Mas day when I took the pics after all. lol

Nice review...actually all of them are. Ulitmately, though, I chose to post on this thread because of the product being reviewed. I have been using the Ace DS 1313 ( .13/173 Oz-In ) for 3 years now. The same one, mind you. I totally love this servo. It has seen duty in several buggies, a Losi TC, XXXT, among others, and is currently serving duty in my brushless CRT .5. I also just recently purchased two DS 1015s which will serve steering duties in my buggy. Here's a few pics...

Nice pics LD3.
Do you mind if I replace my Blurry pics with them?

This review sucks...








because I don't have the product reviewed herein....:D nice first review. Constructive criticism: try to infuse some first-hand experience with the servo, applications, various vehicles in which it was used, etc.

The video gave me a good chuckle :p but I think it is a good idea because you can talk specs all day long and not realize how fast .108s transit is.
