How can I test my servo? Just looking for feedback. Done the obvious , swap etc. Stripped it down and found tell tale marks. Need to get a new one or a set of 3 that are suitable if anyone is selling any? It's for my 600:)

On new builds and any servo related repairs I try to remember to stress test things. Power it up, sans main motor, and then do a solid minute of fast full throw movements without any additional resistance on the blades/linkages. Check temps to see if the servos are heating up. Assuming all good, I then do 2-3 minutes of putting pressure on the blades/grips to push and pull against the cyclic swash position. Servos will whine like mad. Check temps and make sure no electrical brown outs occur. Check wire and connector temps too, just in case. If that all tests out, I'll hold the heli up by a blade and move collective around to make sure there's no skips or stutters.

Looks like you're definitely getting nice and toasty in there. :)
