Hitec RCD
 
So, after years of JR servos in my Losi 8T 2.0, and after reading how so many people like Hitec servos, I brought 2 7950s. Well Friday I got to the track and started wrenchin on my stuff when I cranked down the servo arm, the screw broke in the output gear. One thing I like about racing in Colorado is that the racers here and very helpful and when it come down to it, they will do everything they can to help you get running. Because I was running HV servos, I did not have a lot of people to ask for help, in the end, some one let me borrow a HV servo to get me through the weekend.

So Monday I got online to buy a new gear set for the 7950 but now one sells them. So I called Hitec and ask them for a gear set. The guy said they dont sell gear sets for theses servos because they never get the servos back that has broken gears. so after explaining to him that it was my fault bla bla, he shipped me new gears. FREE.

I thought this was great service. From now on its HITEC servos for me.

Just how did you break a 3mm screw inside an output shaft?

I rode on the JR train for as long as I could. I even went with their hv servos when they came out. I had one of those blow after 2 track days. Ao I ripped them all out soldthem and have been with hitec ever since. I did have 1 7940 act funny so I sent it back but now that I think about it my lipo was prob acting funny. Once you go hitec you will never go back. Haha.

Hitec is the best in the business in my book. Their products are top notch and their customer service can't be beat. They'll take care of just about anything that happens.:nod:

Hitec servos use a 2.6mm screw. They're not as tuff as a normal 3mm screw.;)

You could always use backplate screws from the Vspec.

You're doing something wrong with the Hitec's then. The 7955 is ten times tougher than any Airtronics servo could ever dream of being.;)
