Servos Trash or what?

[bigone5500]

I salvaged these from a 450 heli. They work but look like they have been very hot. Should I trash them?

 

[D.O.G.]

When in doubt throw it out

I hated to get rid of them. Now I have to buy new ones. I wish there were cheaper replacements.

Yeah but nothing last for ever. If your looking good servo for decent price try looking at KST servos. KST DS215MG Servo - 3.70Kg, .05 sec - High Voltage You might be able to find a 4 pack on Amazon or eBay. Don't forget that everything has gone up .

They are cheap plastic gears servos, I wouldn't use them in any 450 size heli even if they were brand new.

After quite a bit of looking around, I have come up empty handed. It seems this servo must be one that eflite has come up with on their own. If there is a servo out there that matches with the specs I haven't found it.

By replacing them with new servos you have peace of mind. I learn that lesson the hard way
