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

Paul,

If you must then. There are some who say that you setup the servos wrong and that even you realized this. If your servos are fighthing each other it would be no surpise that they would burn out. If this wasn't the case the fact that a servo does not have a physical scratch on it does not mean it was not damaged in a crash. A control surface on impact could have put great force on the gears and there are other stresses that occur on impact that might not scratch the outer case.

The 8411's on my Giles are there because JR sponsored that airplane plain and simple. Do I trust the 8411's and 8611's? Yes. Do I trust all the 5945's, 5925's and 5975HB's in my other planes? Yes. Have any of my Futaba, Hitec or JR servos ever failed? Nope. Never have. Do I log 50x more flight time then you do each season?

Again maybe yours were or were not damaged but there is some suspicion among many around you that these servos were ganged together and incorrectly setup by you and thus caused them to fail. I won't name who these people are but I will say it isn't just one or two who know you. Some things you said to certain people right after the lockup and investigation might have now come back to haunt Sorry.
