Servo failure
just bought a brand new TR MT8E BE6S. Put two 3S batteries in it and took it out on the street. Second pass and lost steering. Right as I realized it the truck struck a curb. No steering, front LEDs stopped working, and front left wheel popped off.
Anyone have experience with Redcat warranties? I submitted a claim and I hope they will cover it.

Little bit of trouble shooting and component swapping and I have found that the issue is actually the wire that goes from the ESC to the side of the servo. From there it is split and provides power to both the Servo and the lights. When it is skipped the Servo and LEDs both work. Am going to remove the wire and slice the heat shrink open to check the solder job as well as do continuity checks on the wires.
