Default 7940 failures

Man, am I getting frustrated!!

I tried a 7940 a couple months back, I thought I found the perfect servo and that I would never have to buy another servo again.

I went a bought 6 of these. I run them for steering and throttle on buggy and truggy and steering in my SCRT10 and one for a backup.

I have had 3 fail in the last monthNow, I know what everyone is going to say, they fail when used on steering. Well, I have no complaints on steering, they work perfect, plenty of power and speed. Mine have all failed on throttle!!! As we all know, throttle/brake are EPA'd, so I only have it set for 71% throttle and 68% Brake. I am not even running them on 7.4, I am using LIFE packs.

Is there a Hitec Rep on this thread? Does anyone know if Hitec is aware of a problem with the first ones that came out? Are they making any revisions or improvements?

Thanks in advance
David
