eflite blade 400 crash due to servo failure, into BBQ

[ZzStev3NzZ]

when do you think i should change the servos?

for example: in one year

@ZzStev3NzZ as soon as you can afford to. Mine were only a few flights old.

@ZzStev3NzZ the stock b40 servos, are really cheap, the nylon gears strip out even in mild 3d manouvers, i recomend hitec, the carbonite ones are cheaper than the metal versions and just as strong, will last even huge crashes, next upgrade should be the gyro, its ok for beginner flights but you can experience tail blowouts easily

That is exactly what happened to mine today.. it did two outside loops before hitting the ground.. all the sticks were neutral.. and I was just hovering.. I managed to repeat the servo problem on the ground.. the elevator servo works fine for a few mins then goes to full deflection.. what a waste!

Also, peel the sticker off the motor -- it will eventually fall off in flight, and may take out the elevator servo when it does.
