I have the servo in my possesion and am fixing to send it into Hitec to be repaired/replaced.

As far as not being able to properly set EPA's.... I think you need to step back and rephrase that because this was NOT user error.

The 7955's, 645's etc are great servos.... But I myself have witnessed too many issues out of the 7954's to justify the money..
OK, so the steering servo, it just let go out of the blue? Was a servo saver of any kind on it or just and aluminum arm? Hard impact when it let go? Or just a defective servo? And just to clarify on this, the "motor tabs" your refering to, your not talking about the mounting tabs right? Just want to clear that up. Just curious what exactly broke. I assume all the servos that did end up returned were 7954's?
