Red cat offers servo replacement at a warranty cost of 30 plus 5.00 for shipping if you send the old one in for them to see if you are eligable to receive one at warranty cost. But I didnt spend a lot of time with my truck before the left steering servo gave out and wondering if I get a new one of the same if it would not last that long also. Or just send around 70 for a different brand...what should I do??
 
I am in a similar situation. I have had my MT for six months now and have noticed the stock steering servos are just eating the rx battery and not working well. So I am now in the process of installing two new Hitec servos in their place. If I was you I would not use the stock servos. And replace them in pairs if you choose to stay with dual servo set up. Good luck!!

From what I am reading they are a common choice, which is an expensive one. As far as my experience I have a hitec throttle servo that has worked well for the last six months. So I decided to stick with the brand. Will find out in the future the durability of these steering servos. I have high hopes. Oh I am also installing a glitch buster power capacitor to give the on demand power the new servos need. Otherwise they will cause a major voltage drop making the super bee kill the engine needlessly
