Default RE: TowerPro MG995 Servo, anyone try these? Coreless digitals, for 20.00...

Well of the 10 I bought, 3 failed within the first hour, the rest have eventually failed in a much shorter period than I would consider reasonable for *any* servo.

The failure mode on some has been just completely dead, the others have developed so much wear in the pots or gearsets that they just shake like an old alcoholic with the DTs.

If that guy with the UCD is as good as you say, he'd probably be absolutely exceptional if he actually fitted some decent servos to that bird.
