Hitec 5745
Hi,
just wondering if the Hitec 5745 would be suitable for the Edge?
Are these the ones prone to having gear failures??

RE: Hitec 5745
If it is the 5475HB servo you are talking about, DON'T USE THEM.................................
I had a set on the ailerons of my WM extra and they lasted about ten flights!! I found out later that they are only rated for smaller glow models Not 28% gasser's. I was lucky it just stripped a few teeth and didn't lock up totally!!!

The 5745 seems to be the same servo as the 5735 but with less torque. These are very large and heavy, suitable for rudder but not other surfaces.
