Default Killed 7950, does 7980 also have this issue?

So this happened to my 7950, does anyone know if the 7980 has this issue? I am not too worried, this was after a long time of beating on this servo, doing jumps and I think a backflip finally broke it. New casing is on the way, 8 bucks, so not a big deal really.

Hard to see in the pic but inside the gear is a ring of black plastic that was around the flat plastic blade of the sensor, and is part of the plastic casing. I noticed the servo horn could move and was flexing around on the bench. Probably would have stripped the gears if I hadn't noticed. The only thing holding the gear in place was the plastic blade of the sensor.


This also messed up the gears a little, didn't notice till I cleaned them up a little.

I've had this happen a few times, replace the case piece and go crawl. Hi-Tec should make that part out of aluminum.

Not sure if the 7980 has this problem.

The 7980 has the plastic case sections like the 7950. They're not the same cases, but both are plastic in that area.

I've had the same thing happen to a 7950 but none of my three 7980's.

My 7950 failed in the exact same way once.
