|  needing servo repair help
I have this hitec hs-645mg servo from another truck I was working on but the ears on one side have broke off. I also have a traxxas 2055, a traxxas 2018 and the stock LNC servo. I'd like to be able to repair my hitec but the cases are all different and I don't know if there is a way. Here is a pic of the hitec vs the losi which is the same design as the traxxas servos I have. Any ideas on repairing this servo?  |

do they have unlimited warranties? I have had it for years and I'd imagine the mounting ears being broke would not be considered a defect... I guess I could try that.  |

Hitec wouldnt warranty the mounting ears breaking off...99% sure that would fall under wear and tear. As cogfounder said i new case is $7 new...Postage to and from hitec, plus their repair fee would cost more than a new case & postage would |

Also, either use servo clamps, or small flat washers under the screw heads so you don't overflex & break the ears again. Last edited by Charlie-III; 11-25-2011 at 09:35 AM. Reason: Added 2nd sentence. | |
