Just bought 4 new Hitec 6635 digital servos and was wondering if anyone has tried them yet? Any comments? Hmmmm ... should have asked the question before buying them!

Servos will be used on a 50 size heli. They are specified at 69 oz/in and 0.18sec @ 4.8v - recommended for 50 heli and up to 72" airplane (one per control surface).
I received the 4 servos yesterday. 3 of them were perfect being silky smooth, but the 4th was quite rough in comparison. It had a grindy sound when rotated by hand and a small section of the arc was noticeably sticky. The servo also sounded slightly rougher than the others when operating via the radio. The retailer offered to replace it immediately.
This is my first Hitec purchase, always been a JR user. On the surface, the quality looks fine and most certainly the performance (as specified) vs. the price of these servos seems to represent great value. Hope they are a durable unit.
