I wanted to highlight this LITTLE servo as many may miss it.
When Frsky first got into the high end servo game, I thought, oh boy, here comes yet another company that thinks they can play in the high end servo marketplace. And sure enough, their first attempt was not well received, so they killed those off and went back to the drawing board. Their second entry into the market brought massive improvements and new features like telemetry that is cute and all, but the servos themselves were decent this time. Well, it has been a few years and Frsky has been working to further improve their servos. This little 5701A is a great example. I really do think this is the best 6mm servo on the market regardless of price.
The KST 6mm servos fall short of their mark with poor centering for the price. So it is impressive to see FrSky coming along and pack a boat load of power into this wide voltage servo as well as a hall effect sensor. It is not an easy task to get good centering on this thin a servo, but that appears to be what they have done. Other brands struggle to do this with 8 or even 12mm servos, but they did it with just 6mm! The torque is nearly double of the KST X06 at the same blistering speed. Impressive.
If you are building something that demands a tiny servo with great specs and centering, look no further!

Yes, we all wish Frsky had better servo names, etc. At one point I nearly took over their servo marketing for them. I'm glad I didn't, but it is great to see them taking on the big dogs and surpassing them. You should consider the FrSky servos for your next high end build.
I should add that I have sold a lot of their BLS servos to the DS pilots, so FrSky servos are in some of the fastest planes on the planet.

Here is a note from Wayne: I'd like to point out a few features about this amazing 6mm wide servo. It is a wide voltage unit, 1S or 2S lipo ready. The speed and power of this little servo on 2S is insane. Now add in the hall effect sensor for perfect centering, and all of the amazing telemetry...
