Power HD vs Savox Servo

[jasjeet]

I see a lot of guys here use the Savox 1258 Servo, i bought a Power HD servo for my touring car and has done me well no problems.

But im nearly swayed to buying the Savox, then i notice on hobbyking they have this Power HD Servo:

Power HD 8312TG Digital Titanium Gear Servo 57g/13.5kg/.10sec

Operating Voltage: 4.8V / 6.0V
Operating Current: 300mA / 400mA
Operating Speed: 0.11sec.60º/ 0.10sec.60º
Stall Torque: 12.0kg.cm /13.5kg.cm
Size: 40.3X20.2X37.2mm
Weight: 57g
Dead Band: ≤2uSec
Motor: Coreless Type
Ball bearing: 2BB
Gear: Titanium

Price £20.15, half the price of a Savox.

So i ask you guys, why is this servo so cheap? Is it any good? Anyone else use Power HD?

This is a new servo just released, a little higher spec and can be ordered through your local kyosho/orion/hd/nova rossi dealer

Does it live up to its specs? Would it be considered as good as the Savox?

Well they have just come into stock.
Only time will tell if they are as popular as the current range.
