i am counting on replacing my hitec hs65hb after 25-30 hours clear flighttime (about 300-400 flights, beginnning 3d !!!!!) and usually i am angry, if i am forced to replace one of them after 10 hours (100-150 flights ...) ... the same lifecycle i expect from my new savox sh0254, but i am a little bit confused about the other peoples perception on servo-durability, indeed ... maybe, i was gambling so far...?

I said for the price. They are $6 each. Perhaps I should have said not THAT bad for the price. You can get 4 of then for the price of one hs65hb.

JPC also said that they are still flying in his buddy's 450. Perhaps JPC is less slop tolerant that you or I too.

I am also thinking if how often I crash and damage servos.

It was the geartrain slop that bothered me most, but I admit that the Mini Protos flew quite well even with that slop (and it had an early bad swashplate too). But now with a new swash and zero-slop JR servos.... WOW.

Honestly, I think the Hitec HS65MG would be a better choice (even used ones). I had those on mine before the Coronas, and they worked great.

well, it is because the question of how long servos can be used bothers me for a long time... and the slop is not that problem for me, rather to find out the point before it breaks... something like an average maintenance interval...

of course you cannot compare servos to 6 or 20 dollars...
