I wanna be Dave
So over the last few years I spent a small fortune on Promodeler servos. I must have nearly 20 combined of 420s, 470s, 555, 630, 930, and more. Overall I've been very happy with them. They've, for the most part, provided strong precise steering under strenuous conditions for years. However, the last couple batches of 630s have been letdowns. One randomly died, John did replace it under warranty. Now I've got another that twitches when warmed up, another that randomly died,and another I busted the aluminum inner housing off where the output shaft bearing resides, rendering it non rebuidable. So that's 4 unusable 630s in under a year.
Granted I am extremely hard on my trucks, but my older 470s have been through far more use and abuse and are still working just fine.
Anyone else experience anything like this? Am I really just exceeding the limits of these supposedly stronger 630s?
I see John has come out with another line of servos with a larger output shaft and a different geartrain setup. Should one of those be my next try?
I've been a Promodeler fan boy for years, but I'm now willing to try another brand if you guys can convince me it's stronger than these Promodelers.
