Default RE: Hitec 5955 problems

I am about to receive the 5955 and i must say i am feeling a bit ancious about using it. I do not intened to use the programer on it which is from one what i can gather the key problem but what concerns me is that I have had two reports back from a freind regarding the 5995. In one case the servo failed and remain at about 7% this was after only a handfull of flights, the plane was landed saifly and everything was ok. On the second instance the servo failed and locked at full delection and so the only way to get the thing on the ground without too much damage was a flat spin. Luckily the only damage was to the undercarriage but the consequences could have been far worse. In both cases the bottom of the servo had burnt out or melted i am not sure.

The concern is that i am getting conflicting veiws on wether or not the 5955 is the same as the 5995 with the exceotion of the 180 rotation and the mounting plate at the bottom. has anyone here experienced thsi problem with the 5955?
