I am always a little amused when a modeler is surprised that a servo ($20.00-$100.00) fails when the government spends millions on electronics and can not guarrantee it won't fail.

Most of my experience with Hitec servos has been good but I did see 4-5 bad HS-225 motors. They appearded to be all from the same batch(brush mounting failure) while others with a different code have been good.

I am surprised that there are not more servo failures when I read about so many being used at voltages above the rated voltage.
