Default Control Surface Servo Life

How long should you run a servo on a primary control surface?
I've got 8411's on my HotSpot and was just curious as to the life. Is it unlimited? I've had no issues in at least 1000 flights over 4 yrs. I'd hate to change them out and by some stroke of bad luck, get a bad one and plow in a plane. Should I just keep running them or drop in a couple 8611's?
TIA

I would take them out and use them in a cheaper prop plane. Use that same plane to brake in your new 8611A's for a few flights before you put them in your jet...
