| broken JR High Voltage servo
Has anyone broken their JR high voltage servo? I have an 8711HV, and have had it in my Losi for about two weeks now. It's the best servo I've ever used by far, however it only made it two weeks. I do drive it tough, but I would think something in the crawler would break before this servo. Has anyone had this issue? Is there any sort of manufacturers warranty? Are there gear kits you can buy to replace whatever is stripped inside? ***Side note*** I do have a Castle BEC and am running 7.0 Volts to the servo. thanks, Beerman |

Warranty definetly covers gears. I just sent my ds8711 in for the second time from stripped gears.

| I don't think they do. They ask for CC info, or payment with the servo for shipping. Although that may have changed since i last sent me servo in. I have to send it in agian in the next couple of days. I notified them i would send it, and they said no problem, i just never got around to sending it :P
