As soon as I placed my order I received a phone call from ProModeler. They informed me that there was a faster cheaper way to ship my servo, and indeed it showed up on time.



I am a newbie to hobby RC trucks and this is probably the best purchase I've made for my truck. Installed it in my Vaterra Ascender. Hooked right up no issues and programming went smooth. I can't express how fast and strong this thing is and looks beautiful, SO SHINY.



I had only heard great things about ProModeler and was told by my friend Travis the DS470BLHV is "Bulletproof". Right out of the box you just know you've bought something special. I love it! ProModeler has my business for life!



The first review I read was written by a good friend who introduced me to hobby scale trucks. He is hard on equipment. He hasn't broken one years past its warranty. So glad I got this for my truck.

UPDATE: 18-months later . . . "The ProModeler DS470BLHV is holding up great! It’s been flawless. Still smooth and strong.”

My Composite ARF 2.6 meter Extra 330 SC is powered by a DLE 120. Jeti radio system. ProModeler servos throughout, which are spectacular! Flies with crisp servo response. No slop on the control surfaces. The best centering I’ve ever seen!

I have nothing but awesome things to say about this servo. I was blown away with the attention to detail and strength of this servo. it is beautiful and strong. i had my car under water for VERY extended times and never lost steering or got an ounce of water in it. all my previous servos fried almost immediately. it does not twitch or squeal like other servos. i will be replacing all my servos with these from now on.

These servos KICK BUTT

Just got back from the field with my 118" Carden 260 and these servos KICK BUTT. I’ve also got a Carden 300 equipped with JR 8911HV and it’s nowhere near as locked in (and I thought it was a great set up until today). When you neutralize the sticks, the 260 stops like you flipped a switch. It locks in like nothing me or anybody else with me today has ever seen! I'm very impressed with these servos and can't wait to go back out to fly!

I use the DS470BLHV in my comp crawlers. They get the workout of a lifetime during every use. I'm a sponsored driver (but not with ProModeler because they don't sponsor anybody) and I regularly push my rigs hard. This servo has never failed me. Not ever. I'm not saying it's unbreakable because nothing is, but this is a very good quality product that's taken the place of Hitec HS-7955TG servos because these just don't break. While I hate to say it, I love these things because I don't have to carry an extra servo. Hit up YouTube - https://youtu.be/N0EMIK1np4Y - to see for yourself. I recommend to others as the best servo available hands down!

Bought this to replace the crap that came with the TRX4. Stock servo lasted a month, I replaced it and it broke again in a month. I put this guy in and no problems so far. Steel gears, brushless motor, aluminum body. Mil spec for shock.

Ultra high quality servo!

Pros:
  • Quality

  • specs.
Cons:
  • None

I bought my 1st servo from ProModeler for my new TRX-4 kit build after reading comments on some on-line forums. I may be new to crawlers, but I've been building, and racing, RC cars for nearly 35 years so let’s just say I have installed an used a fair amount of servos over those years. The 470 oz. servo I purchased is second to none in quality. Partly made in the USA and priced very competitively with the other major brands, the specs absolutely destroys the competition. I'll definitely be buy again for future projects. Well done!

The DS470BLHV servo works great in my Axial Wraith crawler. Running it at 7.5 volts through a Castle BEC. Super fast and tons of torque. Quality is top notch and it looks good too! Fast shipping and great communication from the seller.
