I had a 5645 motor fail on my 35% giles during a pre-flight. The motor was bad. Without knowing all the facts behind the failure and subsequent crash, how can you be sure of what caused it? Components can fail from any manufacturer. Does anyone know who actually manufactures servo's for the different companies? It wouldn't surprise me if one company made the same servo and put different labels on them.
Funny how most of everything I see are all failures due to hitec digitals. It bugs me that I don't hear of hitec doing very much about taking care of all of this.
I also have a horrid case of pre-mature gear slop and the case wearing out, I haven't even put more than 40 flights or so on this and none of what I did was really that hard at all. My friend's had all of the above straight out of the box.
