Default RE: How many failures are their with Hitec verse JR servos?

I have it on good authority that this is all Marc’s fault. Actually aliens visited me in my sleep last night and carried me off to a secret manufacturing facility. Seems Marc started RCU solely because he wanted people to not trust any currently available servo.

It all goes back to NASA and the development of a new top secret metal during one of the shuttle flights. Somehow Marc, with the help of his alien friends snatched the technology and will be producing servo’s that have shown no sign of wear after 10,000 simulated flights, have a speed of .01 covering 180 degrees of sweep on a 4.8 V battery, able to lift 500 ounces straight up and weight 4/10 ounce. Centering is within +/- 1/10,000 of a degree. All this in a micro sized case.

Don’t like the way the servo is setup, just don your tinfoil like cap and reprogram the servo via thought process. This feature has also been discovered to have bugs and is what is holding up production. It seems the tinfoil cap can be made by anyone after a quick trip to the grocery store so you would not want to make your buddy mad or he might reprogram your servos during flight.

Remember, this is all secret, don’t repeat it.

Sorry guys, couldn’t resist. I think this topic has been beat to death by both sides of the issue. Just trying to inject a little humor.
