Default RE: Servo noises?

Well I did some more investigation and found that the servo had three missing teeth. Two were on the gear that mesh's with the output shaft gear (small teeth), and one on the motor output shaft (large tooth). So the servo was jamming on the missing teeth and then all of a sudden jumping through that spot. Causing the clunk...

I wasn't aware that Hitec said not to use these karbonite servos on gasser and aircraft over 12lbs. So I guess I was lucky to find it when I did. I failure must of happened durring my last flight last weekend, as all was good before engine start and takeoff. So I guess I'll pull the other karbonite servo out of the other wing panel and replace them with MG servos!!

Thanks for your help!!
