Bad crash - would you trust H6040 servos?

[dexterous]

Yesterday was a bad day for my 600, the only thing that made it out alive is my AR7200BX... The head was a completely mangled mess but somehow the servos seem to be ok. Given how bad the crash was I am not sure that I could trust this set of H6040s and the H6080G again. Either way I was planning on taking them apart and doing a visual inspection of the gears to see if anything looked out of order. What do you guys think?

If I have to replace them, does anyone have any suggestions? I am looking for a reliable, economic servo for aggressive sport flying and mild 3D. I was planning on running an iKON next time around but I may choose the new microbeast plus as it will work with HV servos.

You can send them in to Horizon to be checked.

As in setup a work order like you're sending a model back in for repair? I haven't had too good of luck with that as most everything other than electronics comes back the same.

Well, I think they are ok. I pulled each one apart and closely inspected each gear for damage. They look good, run smooth and don't feel crunchy. So again I ask, if you were in my position would you trust them on a budget 600x build?

Here is the link, test will be done to it to determine if the servos are all operating within spec.

I can sell you a 600X with servos for a good price never been flown. PM me if interested.

Thanks but I am just about put back together on my spare.


By the way, in case anyone is interested in what happened; I was a total idiot and flew right into the sun, blinding my self. I would state the official cause as failure to properly orient my self with a new flying site which happened to face to the west. Any way, I had absolutely zero safe options available so I hit the throttle hold, centered the collective and listened for the crash. Not only was I out a 600X, I had strange spots in my vision for about two days.

I would have felt better about the situation if I was pushing the limits and just lost it too close to the ground but destroying a new aircraft over such stupidity really took the wind out of my sails for a few days.
