You could put some foil tape over them, to reflect the heat. I did that in my small T-45 on the rudder servo.

Sorry sir but I don't know what manufacture is it because I bought it used and I don't know the company made it.
It should have p100 but it has p140

I think you have the Skymaster/Extreme 1:5.5 scale Hawk/T-45. If it has the original equipment tray up front( cockpit ) the plywood will be embossed with the Skymaster name/logo. I have that airplane myself and it sounds like the same set up. 2 servo's ganged up driving the single stabilator rod for both stabs. I have my pipe wrapped with BVM Heat Blanket and foil tape wrapped around that at the servo/arm location. I do not have foil tape in the fuse covering the servo's because of the arm movement. The rear former/pipe centering ring helps hold the blanket.tape secure around the pipe once installed. Have not had any problems at all. Running JR 8611's on separate channels and mixed in the radio. You need to use an amp meter to set those up to check amp draw on the servo's. You do not want the servo's fighting each other. Check the load in nuetral as well as in transit. You just have to find the sweet spot.... The servo's are reversed in the radio. Travel/ATV and sub-trim numbers will not likely be the same on both channels. Take some pictures of what you got, I would be interested to see what I think you have.

Cheers,

Danno
