In these cases, I'm would expect an OEM to stand behind their product.
Did they?

The 5125 is advertised as having the "unbreakable MP gear train". When I
did an autopsy on my 5125, that specific gear was in tact. The one next to
it, however, was stripped, and it was metal.
This happened with a number of other pilots in our club. Our conclusion was
that there had to be a poor quality metal for the batch of servos we
received. I have heard folks say that they have had good runs with this
servo and I'm sure it is true. Maybe their was a time period in which a
lower grade metal was used?
None of them had motor problems; all had stripped gears. We were not
landing them hard, but maybe the "holding power" works against them in a
solid installation. The gear train was the first to give.

Subject: Re: [RCSE] What are you doing to kill 5125/168 servos?
The current quality of servos available to us from all marques continue
to improve. Singling out a marque and calling it crap as someone stated
just leads to a silly pissing contest and clouds the issue. It's easier
to install a fatter servo like the 368, as there is less chance of a
problem precisely as a result of it being beefier. Let's not confuse the
issue by diminishing the abilities of the thinner servo. Again...it is
not the servos fault!
