Shifting under power. These are designed for shift on the fly operation.
We also still have the original servos on our Gen 2's. They lasted 6+ events' worth of matches with no problems last year. We overdrove the servos a bit past each of the shift positions to help maintain the dog gear mesh (you command the servo to keep going to a position a bit past the shift point but it can never make it there because of the mechanical interference of the gears, so there's always a bit of error-correcting holding force applied in the direction of the shift), but we didn't peg the servos to their limits. You will find you'll have to experiment and dial in your servo shift positions to obtain the best, most repeatable performance.
