I love mine!

I only run 7.4v, it does get a bit toasty some times at that voltage.

Don't over volt a brushless servo, or it won't last long.

I have a full season plus practice time on mine. No issues except for breaking off mounting ears (when the supports get loose) twice.

I'm running ~8 volts direct off a CC BEC.

Yes, it gets warm, but not what I call hot.

This is on a 5+LB rig with Sedonas.
