I wouldn't say they are particularly cheap. In the UK they sell at around 70 Euros, which I'd class as mid to top quartile pricing in comparison to other quality 1/10th Servo's. A good many drivers at my club run them and I've never heard any have a problem with them. I am of course referring to the 1258.

TEam orion servos are re badged savöx servos

I can't say I have really had any issues with Savox myself. I have run them in micro, 1/10th 2wd and 4wd, SCT, 1/8 electric and nitro.

I have run both 6v and 7.4v as well.

The only thing I think is needed sometimes is a power cap if the bec isn't up to it in the receiver but again I haven't needed that either in any class's.

There is a lot choice with gear nowadays so its about what you feel comfortable with and what works for you.

I can second that :
I use 1257 and 1285 savox servos together with tekin esc's
I used to have a spektrum tx/rx module for my 3VCS futaba transmitter.
and then I needed capacitors or I got alot of brownouts when turning the steering left to right a few times
It was better with the capacitors, however the spektrum module still gave me alot of problems on the far ends on some circuits
so i switched to all futaba rx/tx module and then no more problems

so you could conclude it is more a combination of servo-reciever-esc that causes the brownouts, because after dumping de spektrum and switching to the futaba module the problems went away.
Simply blaming the servo would be drawing the wrong conclusion in my experience
In my case the spektrum reciever seemed more fragile to the powerpeaks of the servo than the futaba one.

that said I think the savox 1257 and 1258 servo's are one of the fastest and most powerfull within their pricerange
I would say that's one of the reasons why they also take more current.
just make sure your combo esc and reciever are up for that.
