One of them has a snapped output shaft. I have not been able to remove the half that's in the servo.

When I did that accidental auto. Not sure why it snapped. Shocked that it did and shocked it was there was only one. I thought I toasted the servo then I tore it apart and saw the damage. If these servos are going to break like this then I don't want to take another chance.

Besides the servos are the last of the lower end equipment left on the heli. Everything is going to be top shelf stuff that should be able to handle the punishment.

Sure. I'll let you know Thursday or friday. To be honest it's still up in the air. I have to see how much OT pay I got. I work almost 20 hours over for the purchase. On one side I would like to just buy two kst servos and one the other hand I really would like to have the BK servos.

Right now heli direct has a 380 combo set of BK for discount. The 5005 is a $90 servo and in the combo it's almost $60. That is a great deal in my eyes.
