Burned out servo??
I have a DX18 with an AR9030T receiver running five HS5585MH servis and one HS5495BH throttle servo.
Using electrodynamics nano 6.6v 2500mAH.
I have five flights on the plane.
Plane sat for three for a couple months.
Went to the field and could not get the engine to start. Determined a servo or linkage problem.
In the shop there was very little movement in the servo.
Thought maybe a gear issue.
Went to take the servo out and noticed it was very hot. The servo extension connection was also hot.
Hmm bad servo.
Grabbed another 5495 plugged it in and was fiddling with the transmitter adjustments. Got a low receiver voltage alarm.
Turned around to see smoke in the plane. Crap!
Shut the battery off. The new servo fried.
Near as I can tell the servo extension was the problem.
Without the extension things seem to be ok.
Tore the extension apart but no apparent issues.
I did notice latter that the battery was not plugged into the battery port on the receiver.
Otherwise sure that matters.
Putting this out there to see if I am missing something.
What could go wrong with an extension to cause this problem?
Or do I have another issue?
Thanks
