I've had the KO in my car for 2 years without a single problem. It's great... in fact my 3 cars all have KO servos in them. In 5 years the only time I've ever taken one out is to replace a plastic gear.

i use a ko low profile in one off my tc5's indoors but i got to say i prefer my standard size savox in my other tc5 i use on tarmac.i find the savox feels more positive and direct and it cost a good £40 less than the ko did.if i was to buy another low profile id try the savox myself.
