Any piece of power electronics that allows itself to overheat and melt down is of poor design. This applies to all digital servos I have laid eyes on. People, we have amateurs designing our stuff....
Not necessarily, If you have a problem in the air would you rather have the servo stop working to protect its self, or to burn its self up trying as long as possible to maintain control of the attached surface.
Or if you wanted the electronics to be able to handle the power draw of an overload it would need to have huge heat sinks and your 2oz servo might end up double the size and weigh a half pound.
In the design process you always have to make compromises. You just need to decide your priorities.
I was just going to say that
That's why there is no circuit breaker or fuse in our models.
