Upgrade to new servos if you want. The jR 650s are what I have and they are amazing. I would suggest that you call up Horizon and talk to them and they'll tell you to send th servos in for replacement. They have a 3 year warranty so send them in and DEMAND for a replacement. They more often than not replace without any questions. They have two 650s and a 590 of mine with them right now. I ruined all 3 myself becaus I accidentally plugged in teh battery plug into the receiver the wrong way and gave the servos reverse voltage.

Status: offline 		i changed out my two servos to a single jr9100, the only problem is that i am breaking the steering rod that connects the left & right steering arms. my servo saver is on & my end points are set correctly, does anyone know if they make a better rod than the stock one??

Status: offline 		bada$$ makes them (I am not sure if I would get kicked if I actually spelled it out, even though it is a company ) they are like 20$, which is really expensive. The servos should last a long time, I have run mine since I bought my Aft in March 07. The throttle servos dont last though.
