For the record there is not a servo built today at any price that will not fail eventually. think about what we put these servos through with off road racing. Even shimmed and set correctly they will all succumb to the rigors of the dirt, grease, crashing, vibrations, landings, cleaning, and heat involved with off road racing. The most important thing to consider nowadays is what happens after your servo fails? That is why I choose Hitech. I have never had them tell me that the servo cannot be repaired or replaced and never once in 11 years have they ever asked me for money, not even for return shipping..Hitech for life!
