[QUOTE=Integra;6517127]there's No Scamming goin on here....Hitec has THE BEST warranty in the business....Dispite the fact this user might be sending in a unit HE messed up....Hitec does NOT care....if they did they would not warranty it and would send out a bill....well they dont do that....they want to keep the customer happy NO MATTER WHAT...and if that means extending the warranty they'll go ahead and do that....ASK a hitec rep is there's anything wrong with sending in a Out of warranty servo...he will say No and Pending the problem they will either replace it with new or fix it...that's the way hitec works.
Isnt hitec's warranty the same as JR? 3 year?

yea i look at them next season the 5645 is slow as poop anyways for steering, why does the cheaper hitec seem to center bad is it just a bad batch or something i had cheaper futabas and they always centered

Thats because in fail safe mode the steering servo goes to center and has no load on it. Where as the throttle /break servo goes to full break having full load on it.
I burned up a brand new 7955tg in my truggy because of leaving the receiver on and turning the radio off putting it into failsafe. Took less than 5 minutes to put a nice burned hole through the bottom of it. The only person I could blaim was myself.
As far as them warranting it Your the one that caused the failure not there product. So I don't believe they would unless you lied. Surely you wouldn't do that?

Update
Hitec received my servos Wed morning of last week, they called me yesterday morning 8:30 their time to let me know that the HS-5645 MG will be covered under warranty and that the HS-5625 MG had a bad winding on the motor and it would cost $23.78 to repair it, told them to fix it and gave them my CC #. That's what I call good, fast service. I'll be up and running this weekend I asked the guy to throw in some stickers,said he would, Thanks Hitec
