<span style="font-size: smaller;">ORIGINAL: JPMacG I have now had 4 out of 4 HS225MGs fail. My advice is don't use them on a critical control surface.
Throttle is OK. I don't know for sure that my failures were related to voltage, but I was using a 5 cell NiMH pack in each case</span>
Unusual to have so many stop working if not age related, the following might assist with diagnosis/repair:
. Servo - Burnout. Cause &amp; Prevention
. Servo - FAQ : Metal Gear Servos - DIY Repair &amp; Extend MG Servo Gear Life

More information available under sub sections
