i have some practically new 7245's and I noticed some slop in the gears. I inspected the gears and they looked good so I changed them anyways. I put the case back on and same slop. I had a 5245 case I tried on them no slop. So I guess the top case pin holes has already wore out. crazy. This and some troubles with some 65mgs has me worried.

sounds like you're joining the 10%ers.... you know, the ones who can actually abuse a servo to it's breaking point by just going out and flying!

Just trashed a savox 0255 in my MXS tonight! An aileron locked up at about 30 degrees deflection. It was an interesting minute getting it back on the ground! It was after a nice crankshaft. Oops!

I'll have a DX7s for sale at eWEEK. Pm me if interested.

thats pretty much why i put a 5245 in the elevator of my 51 slick and 48 mxs. seems like im really hard on elevator and rudder servos. i wouldnt worry as much if my daily flying spot wasnt as wooded as it is. if i had more open field.

does anybody know the turn around when you send servos to hitec? atm i have 4 65's 2 85's 1 5245 and the 4 7245's i would like to send off. i have a set of 5245's i could use but i hate to.

also how does the servo programmer work? can you program a digi to react in a certain failure a certain way?

Sort of. You can program the servo to reduce power during a "binding" so that it won't burn up the motor or circuits.

So it would be wise for me to invest in one.

I also use mine (Hitec HFP-25) to center the servos during plane assembly, and to check them periodically. It's a great tool to have.

Do you know the difference between the 25 and the 21? Or do they do the same thing. Id much rather pay 25 than 70.

I sold my older one to get the 25. It's better
