Unfortunately the motor are soldered to the PCB and sealed so I did not give in to dismantle it.
I did try to put some oil down to the two holes from above where the motor are attached to the housing and the screaming stopped, but now the motor is feels a little slower to spin by hand but connected it appear to operate normally.
My guess it that the motors bushes are done, does anyone have experience of screaming servos?
Is there a replacement motor to get to this servo?
I'm a little afraid to use the servo because I don't want to fry the bec in my esc.
i think the problem is that it just is getting old, 2 years that's a really good run for a servo depending on how often its used
