Hitec Digital Servos
Vince- What most people don't realize is that a low end servo uses a much more inexpensive pot than a mid or high level servo.
DESERT RATT- Metal gears will always wear faster than nylon but are much stronger, and some set ups put more load on the servos accelerating the wear. I would definitely not say there is a problem because our gears resist wear better than most. In fact the JR 8411's are known to develop slop very quickly and they are among the most popular.
AV8TOR- Actually, some regulators can cause problems so we advise against using them with the digital servos. They seem to limit the current to the servo.
Aerosplat- Everything sounds good although with the long arm and the pull/pull it may have caused excessive current draw. Send in the servo and we will repair or replace it at no charge under warranty.
