When I had problems with 2 995's 4 or 5 months ago, I emailed TowerPro directly and a girl named Christine provided me with some top-notch customer service. She not only replaced my 2 995's no questions asked, but also threw in 2 945's to boot. Shipped them to me in like a week. Now today, I just tried to find their site again to get you the email address, but I can't find it anywhere. Maybe they got overloaded with warranty returns and shut it down or something... |

You must have epa issues or something. 8 out of 10 failures with that little of runtime seems odd. You got epa adjustments on your radio?

The Servo's say Digital right on them. If you have you links set up perfect with no binding. You can get away for some time with out EPA's. But if EPA's are a Big help..... I'd like to see a pic of them stripped. My guess is the case failed and not the gears. I've had a few return saying they where stripped, but when I got them and opened them up. It was the Case. 8 out of 10 isn't normal by no means. Did you buy all 10 of them from a Vendor on here or E-Bay?

If you got them off the bay there is a very good chance you go the "fake" tower pros. If you want to make sure you are getting the real ones get em from run2jeepn. Thats where i got the ones i had.

Yep, if they are used right they will last. I was running mine with a tq3. The trick is to make sure your servo maxes out before your steering travel does. When i needed new servos i just went with the 945's since i heard some bad about the 955. Glad i went with the 945's
