Reefs RC 299LP High Torque/Speed Brushless Low Profile Servo (High Voltage)

I installed this servo in my EB410 yesterday (Friday, Feb 22, 2019). After installation, I was setting end-points and trimming out steering and noticed how quiet and smooth this servo seemed to operate. In addition to smooth, quiet operation, the end-point adjustment setting was in the high 80s (percent) in both directions. Most of the higher torque servos I own have end-point settings are down in the higher 60s (percent) AND seem to vary widely in both directions. This is important to me because after adjusting end-points on other servos, I notice I have no steering. So, I need to re-adjust end-points back up to a higher number. This tells me that to achieve the steering I need, I must risk damage to the buggy or servo. With this servo, I didn't have that problem. I had all the steering needed without stressing the servo or buggy. Again, a very quiet servo with almost zero buzz when stressed, under load at maximum throw in either direction. Given the price of this servo, buyers can get a powerful brushless servo in a full aluminum case (bottom of the case, too) at the cost of servos with less features.

I got this servo from my LHS and put in my new Yokomo YZ-2 CAL3 and holy moly this servo is fast and strong. I have been a fan of the Protek 160T and Spektrum 6240 for my 1/10 rigs but this servo is my new favorite. Great job Reefs.

Biggest waste of money. I purchased this servo for rear steering on my axial Capra. After 15 minutes of use the steering began acting like it had 0 power then would glitch out. After a reset on the truck I got the servo back for about a minute and with no load on the chassis and tires you could hear grinding. The end points were set correct and there was a bec connected and it was set to 6 volts. I guess all the rumors are true concerning the company “reefs”. Never again will I buy a product made by reefs or will I purchase a product that is recommended by the company. Biggest waste of money ever. Do yourself a favor and stay away.
