Only reason Im looking at these is HK are always BK on the mg930s. They have a good review. Any one use them heard much about them?

Looking at the size they'll have to be mounted like the Hitec 5245'a or Spectrum A5040's.

Some other servos to consider.

These are relabeled Henge MG752's, supposedly Henge makes decent servos.

Or if you want somthing from a reputable company with a warrenty you could get these.

These cost more than the cheap HK servos, but less than Hitecs or Futabas and are backed by a 1 year warranty from Horizon. They're the same size as the Hitec 5245's and can be mounted in a Trex 500 the same way. I've been told these work well in an FBL 500 and are reliable. If you want to go a little cheaper there is is a plastic gear version for $20 (people have used the plastic geared Futaba 9650 in 500's for years without issues) Consider how much you could spend in one year on replacing cheap servos not to mention crash costs if it dies in the air vs just getting something that is dependable and which will be replaced by the manufacturer if it dies.

I wasn't clear about this but short 500 size servos like the Hitecs have to be mounted using screws with washers on them, or alternatively with washer screws. They need to be lined up between the two sets of screws because they are a few mm shorter than the Futaba 9650/Align DS510 sized servos. You could also put a rubber grommet in the holes with no brass eyelet to make it more secure. When the screw is snugged down the grommet will compress between the washer and the frame and help grip the tab.

Also the A5040's do not need a spacer to not touch in the middle on the aileron servos like the Hitecs, but they need one on the elevator servo to center the horn (the distance from the tab to the output shaft is nearly the same as the HS-5245, but the distance from the tab to the bottom of the servo is shallower)

The Henge MG752 and Turnigy S3317M shouldn't need spacers on the aileron servos though they might need them to center the elevator servo.

EDIT: The Turnigy S33317M appears to be a SpringRC SM-S33317M

yup am using them mg930 servos on my fbl 500 run them at 6v so they are pretty decent and do the job ....am using it on my tail ... i know even on 6v the speed is low .10 but it hold well so far no issues at all ...after flight just a lil warm above ambient temps some times tht too not noticeable ...am loving them for my 500 ...i may change my tail servo to something fast any suggestions some thing cheap around 40$ ..but as for the cyclic they are gonna stay ....i had two crashes with blades hitting the ground so far no sign of damage at all still working great
suggest u wait for the mg 930 or get a branded servo

Been using one of these and it works great.

These are all basically the same servo, the differences are the second one has a metal heatsink and the third one is the HV version. The picture is slightly inaccurate now, they improved the case recently. Instead of a pot they have a magnet and a hall effect sensor chip. These are manufactured by Blue Arrow.

I like the standard size Mi servos but the case on the mini size Mi servos have varying tolerances in the case and tend to have some play in the output shaft because of this (the top bearing moves 0.1 to 0.3mm in it's recess in the top cap of the case). Hopefully they'll update these case on those as well because they work well as 500 size cyclics (they're what I'm using now but I'm going to change over to Spectrum A5040's)
