Default Re: Duty cycle on servos??

I have a lot of time on servos that were converted to continuous rotation and they are still going strong. I believe the gears actually last longer because the final output gear use all of its teeth the more often/evenly than if it were to just swing back and forth like a stick servo (the last gear in the chain receives the most stress). Also because of the slow final output speed the bearings last for a very long time.
