""I think with hitec if you don't push them too hard, ie. go for overrated torque you won't get any problems with them, but if you push them too the max, they are likely to fail!!! ""

I have had numerous Hitecs fail when on the test bench and the output arm not connected to anything. Just how "don't push them too hard" do I have to be with them? I have had 225s shred their gears on the test bench. I bought 4 of Hitec digitals and 3 of them went berserk within 2 minutes, on the test bench. I bought 2 225s, fitted one to my jet for the brakes so all it had to do was push the brake valve a couple of times each flight and it died completely on the 6th flight. And it goes on and on like that with every batch of Hitec servos I have ever had the misfortune to use. I wouldn't trust them to a kid's paper plane.
