Default Typhoon Servos

I have read many postings on many different forms that suggest the two tail servos in the typhoon are very poor and will likely fail. I have two questions…

1. Is this true that it will likely fail?
2. What servos should I order for replacements?

I am new to flying so maybe stripping gears in any 3D is not that unusual.
And maybe replacing gears is something you do every so often.
I also noticed that the servo arms on the typhoon servos are quite long VS many others I have seen.
So I didn't connect to the end of the arm but to the middle to not cause to much stress on the servo.

I did notice they did send me extra gears for the servos when I bought the Typhoon.
I am thinking if they are really likely to fail (as much as people talk about it) I may just replace them now and avoid a problem.

Any advice you can give is very welcome.

Joe
