It's fine. I used to run group buys when I was collecting robots.

They see a ton of use, in the line of 1-2 hours a day 3 days a week, 4-6 hours a day on the weekends. That tapers off some when there isnt much light after work. Point being, stuff wears out when you use them constantly.

Well I got a call from an unknown number. It was from reefs. That evening I got an email from reefs. Stating that they called and wanted my address to send out a top case. I explained in an email that I don't answer numbers I don't know. Sent my address. I also asked what if there is something else wrong after I change the top case. That was Thursday no response. I sent the info again this morning.

The top case being cracked sounds like a symptom, not the core issue - seems strange to think that just replacing it will completely fix that servo - unless:

A. An impact occurred to the case

or

B. There is a known defect in the manufacture/assembly of the top case

HH, 3brothers, Savox, even JK make great and durable servos. I really abuse them down here in South America and I halve tried those 4 brands with no problems at all. Many friends had broken REEFS servos, we don’t buy them anymore.

Well I got an email this morning from Reef's to be expecting a pkg. I'll replace the top case and it will go into my bag for a backup or I'll trade/sell it off.
