I've used Volz for eighteen months in two F3F models, just installed them in a third and yes I considered using the red ones, in fact I have a couple of mcV2's still in the box. Apart from some wear in the older ones, the WingMaxxes have been rock solid. I've had a little neutral drift with Micro-Maxxes - this needs to be addressed IMO but it's not been a show-stopper for me. What swung it for Volz over the red ones for my latest machine was the excellent CNC moulded mounts for both MicroMaxx and WingMaxx which make installation and removal in a moulded wing a complete doddle. Also in thin wings the WingMaxxes fit properly without resorting to shaving the case or bonding them directly to the wing skin. Out of 12 servos purchased in two batches (8 WingMaxx, 4 MicroMaxx): Operational failures to date: None. Crash damage: One broken tooth in a Wingmaxx following a pylon race collision. Manufacturing problems: One pot slipping on the shaft - fixed with cyano. Unlike some servos, getting at the innards is easy if you do have to replace gears or fix something. Michael Volz also provides great service. - Mike ====================== Mike Shellim R/C Soaring UK http://www.rc-soar.com ====================== RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
