Dang! I just finished swapping out most of my 8411's with 8611's and today Horizon announces a "new product release for the Toledo airshow"...a new and better servo, the DS8611A. They say it "features a reinforced case top and gear train" (sounds familiar)whichs ups the torque to 240/282 (4.8/6.0) versus the 220/260 of the 8611. I wonder if the newer version further tightens up the gear train which was another big advantage of the 8611 over the 8411. The release says the 8611A will be available "late April".

I also wonder if/how much this ups the price. I notice that Horizon is already "out of stock" on the 8611.

Anybody else heard anything on the 8611A?

I heard about a product update that said something about the bushings in the top of the case that could be upgraded to the bearing free of charge. Could that be what was changed?

I'd say that's what it's about really. I got a bunch of the new case tops to swap out with people as I see necessary at the field. I'd guess this is just how they're identifying the two in-house.
