RE: What fool designed these servos?
"The gears stripped because the servo was stalled after inadvertantly being given too much throw"
Maybe instead of designing servos with maximum flexibility and volume (throw) allowing us to have enough common sense to not program a servo for more than 125% of its max... Hitec should instead assume we are all stupid and go back 15 years and make servos that have fixed volume and weak motors.... we might as well all go back to analog radios too, who needs computers right - we might overprogram something....
Hmmm... I'll take the former and take the time to ensure units are programmed correctly thank you...
Power + Stupidity = something broken. You are lucky it was only a servo and not a surface or linkage (or worse)..
A mistake was made - LIVE WITH IT and don't blame Hitec.
I just love those who bash a manufacturer for something they did!! It is a good laugh though!
