Default fs racing 1/5 scale 4wd 35cc truggy

I'm having a problem with my steering servo, they keep burning up. I've burnt up 3 steering servo's in less than a month and i don't know why. Is anybody else having this problem?? I changed the on- off switch, i changed the battery and i changed the rx and tx and still just the steering servo's electronics blows. ANY HELP WILL APPRECIATED....THANK YOU

You have to do the end point adjustment (EPA), these allows the servo to stop before they reach their full turning radius. If they don't stop before they will bind up, for example the servo will push the steeringlinkage farther than necessary when the wheels already have reached the point where the "turn" ends. You adjust the EPA on the radio.

Marrs FS 1/4 scales are actually 35cc the stock 30cc that come on the 1/5 scale FS are actually 26cc with 30cc stickers on them took a while but finally got that out of the factory a while back but I am sure the stock FS Marrs 1/4 scale 35cc engines are true 35cc I wish I had more of the engines left sold out of them when people found out they are true 35cc engines Oneal Racing has worked a few over for some of my customers with great results.

Thank You,
Scott

zerogravityrc- -great to hear from u what do u think of my steering servo problem do u think it could be overworking like lars said the (EPA) i think he may be right what do u think i ghave a futaba 3pks with a 2.4 fasst system and it does have a EPA adjustment and mine was sitting on 100%. if this is true what should i set them to and what servo do u recommend. THANK YOU
