Throttle servos
Hey fellas, been awhile. Ran my savy this past weekend an my jr racing throttle servo went out. Threw on my spare (hpi sf-20w) an less than 2 tanks later it went out today! Could this be my reciever shorting them out or is it just my servos? Reciever is about a year old. Thanks.

RE: Throttle servos
My guess is that it's just the servos. Did they just stop cold, or were they twitchy, unresponsive, or weak at all before they stopped?

RE: Throttle servos
For my throttle servos I like to run a high Torque Servo like the Futaba S3010 or the Metal Geared Futaba S3305. These are direct fit into the HPIs. I see that you were running a JR Servo which is a 23 spline and the Futaba and HPI are 25 Spline Servos.
Spektrum has replaced the JR servos and they are the same company just rebranded themselves when they introduced the 2.4 Ghz radio systems.
Just a little information incase you guys did not know it.

RE: Throttle servos
Spektrum and JR are not the same company.
Spektrum is owned by Horizon Hobby and they licensed there 2.4ghz technology to JR in return JR allowed them to rebrand their servos and use existing TX case moldings etc. This allowed JR to get into the 2.5 market sooner, and Spektrum to offer complete systems.
JR and Spektrum now have there own proprietary 2.4Ghz systems that are no longer compatible, it started with DSMJ
Now you will see that there are very few if any new products shared by both companies.
JR and Spektrum are not the same company.
