Hitec warranty

[Z.hb71]

I'll let you know when the one on my 5ive ? the bed. Been a glitchy pos since I got it. Not impressed in the slightest. Even my lowly savox don't glitch around like this hitec does.

Yeah this is my first experience with hitec, honestly not impressed. My cheapo china hobbyking ? lasted 2 1/2 years longer then this thing ,was faster and costed about the same ?‍
Was also a HV servo, and this is limited to 6v

@Z.hb71 print off their rma form fill it out with a copy of your receipt or purchase agreement and drop it in the mail. It'll be returned fixed or replaced within 7 days after THEY receive it

I've done it. I know

I know how you feel I have 8 845's here and they are all like that.I will try another brand next time maybe Hilantronics?

now this is weird, i swapped to hitec (big servos) cos i was having issues with the big savox's glitching,
savox were the 0240 if i remember right, so bought a hitec 840 and 845 for the dragon hammer and all has been spot on with em,
i use smaller savox for throttle/brake in baja though cos there as reliable as can be,
what i'm getting at is a couple o years ago savox has issues with a batch of the 0240's or similar if i've written the wrong number ,
so i wonder if hitec have had a similar issue with qc or sommat

Tbh I run savox in everything I own, and 0 issues, although i only have 2 1/5 scale servos, so a small sample size. This is my first, and last, hitec. I'll try hilly next.

i was the same sean, i ran nothing but savox for everything, then had the issue that i couldnt suss out and went hitec,
i just thought it was odd that people are now having issues with hitec,
i'm gonna be buying some 1/5 servos before long myself, so might go hilantronic myself now,
heres what my savox's were doing, is this similar to what the hitecs are doing ?

Similar, it twitches all the time now, not that fast. Even twitches with no radio input.

K servo has been sent to hitec. Well see how long this takes. Went via UPS so should get to them quick. Going to them, coming back to me, then going on ebay ?? probably not going to use that servo any more. Don't reaaaly trust it

 

[Z.hb71]

got my servo back today, they got it last Thursday and shipped it back out this monday and i got it today, i will say they do have great service. the slip says the motor was damaged and they put in a new one. gunna test it later. still going to get a savox or summ to replace it, don't trust this one at all tbh.
