the hitec 5755 servo fried last nite onme, as i was just setting up arm position and side to side throws. it suddenly started going slow, and delayed movement, then stopped and smoke from the bottom.

contacted DDM on it, and they told me to send it to Hitec for warranty. kinda makes me miffed, as they just pass it off to the manufacturer, instead of taking it back and THEY take care of it as they send me a new one. most places i have bought things from DO take it back, replace it, and they in turn send bad item in for credit to them.

so, at any rate, now i got to send not only a hitec 5755 servo back to hitec also the Rx from the darn radio. did range test on it got like 240 feet, so i bought another one as this one im sending in to replace or repair. the new one i did range test yesterday on, and got 1/4 mile at least, no loss of siganl at all. thats proof the original is screwed due to that pinched spot on wire i seen wheni removed it from radio box wheni got it.

for a 500 dollar 4pks i expect nodamage for that kinda money, and it works right. not a damaged antennae wire on Rx.

k im done ranting. i was so mad last nite i had to walk away and watch TV for awhile to calm down.

The issue some shops have it that if they issue a new one to the customer (which is what most people want) then the servo or what ever it is gets sent to the manufacterer and is reapired then the shop at stuck with a second hand servo - albeit repaired.

Sorry I was a little heated last night. Its been almost a week and I don't even have parts ordered yet. Not to mention it'll be 3 more weeks before I see any parts.
