Okay so I got a few new futaba s3003 servos cheapish, and while I'm looking around on other sites to see some prices, I notice that somone left someon else some negative feeback for the servos they bought, claiming that they were not legit futaba servos.

Not knowing a lot about futaba, I'm not entirely sure if I have real futaba servos - at this stage, they were so cheap it hardly matters, but for future reference - how does one spot a fake?

usuallly looking at the label and comparing it to a legit one can tell you if it's of questionable origin. Short of actually taking it apart after that check....not really sure.

Great, thanks VDB,

The label looks legit enough...
