Default RE: Your Idea's on Hitec bad Wrap

Hitec servos are as good as any, and most people will lean toward "better" than most.

I'd venture an educated guess that most servo problems are caused by using them in marginal applications, i.e., people using 44oz. servo in a 60 size 3D type model for example.

It's interesting that that there are at least basic guidelines for how powerful an engine should be for a give size and type aircraft, but there is no such guideline (written or spoken) that I know of that newbies can use to make sure that they aren't "underpowering" the control surfaces on their aircraft. And underpowering is usually what tears up servos which then leads to whiners (the same ones, usually) complaining how "brand x servos are junk because most of the ones I use went bad".

How you use them will determine a lot of how well they work and how long they last for you.
