In theory, that won’t happen to these. Being digital, I believe you can also adjust the overall end-to-end throw on these using the Hotwire app - that is, if I read the information correctly.

I also happen to be looking at Tekin servos for my Nitro TC (and Tekin ESC’s and motors in general for my electric cars), so I’m quite interested in what others have to say about them.
