FWIW I started out with the 645MG in tunnels - seemed like the go-to servo at the time. Had the buzzing/stuttering prob and the gears stripped way too easily (yup tunnels are hard on servos I'll admit). While they're designated as a MG or "metal gear" servo, the metal gear that constantly lost teeth was thinner than a piece of paper and the rebuild kit was $18 or so. For that kind of money I started buying HK or HP servos that were way stronger and never looked back.
As far as working on the impossible to reach JS internals, I'm training my pet hamster to use simple hand tools to get inside and make adjustments.
