Both servos will shake intermittently around centre, but stop as soon as any load is applied. Im not sure if it even has any effect on the car around the track, because even the load of the tires spinning will stop it, but its worrying all the same.
Im in NZ and the turn around for RMA drops me out of several of our meets as I dont have spares.
Will the servos be replaced or repaired? If replaced, ideally the replacements would be sent out first. I wouldnt even mind a temp charge on my c/c until the faulty servos made it back to amain.
I use the 150T in my Tekno SCT410. It developed the shakes, and i reluctantly sent it in for the same reason (not having a spare and didn't want to be without). The AMAIN turn around was pretty quick for me (less than two weeks - but i live in Southern CA), and when it came back there was no documentation on what work was actually performed. It appeared as if i got a new servo - but it is possible they sent back the exact same one. And after 3-4 runs, guess what returned? Yup, the shakes. Now, i will say that the shakes have not affected my race driving at all - and it is only really apparent when the truck is on the stand. I still have this servo in my race ready truck, and love the performance. So if you can get past the shakes, it is still worth owning (if you already paid for it of course).
