They specifically tell you not to use those servos for a 50 size nitro heli, apparently they shear shafts due to vibration.
Common problem when used beyond their specs.

Interesting. The [link=http://www.jrradios.com/ApplicationGuide/SubSegment.aspx?SegmentID=42&SubSegmentID=53&SubSe gmentName=30-50ci]JR Servo Guide[/link] lists the 821 as a recommended servo for a 30 to 50 size heli. Where does JR say not to use them ?

It used to be easy to find on JRRadios.com in the hobby wire section but I can't find it. Its on Specktrum RC's site though
New Guidelines for DS821 Servo Use
Tuesday, February 20, 2007
The DS821 servo is a powerful, accurate sport digital servo recommended for RC airplane applications up to 1.20-size. For helicopters, the DS821 operates best with 30-size glow models, and up to 50-size electric. Loads and vibration in larger models may cause premature failure of the servo resulting in damage or injury to property and persons.
Important: Do not use liquid thread lock with the DS821 servo!
Do not use any form of liquid thread lock to secure the servo arm screw to the output shaft of the DS821 servo. Chemicals in these liquids react with the polycarbonate gear set causing the plastic to become brittle, fracturing the final output gear.
