To let you know the servo is a Futaba 3010 which is a nylon gear high torque servo. I took it out of the plane. The gears were fine. The motor and cirut board were fried. What I plan to do is remove replace the Life battery with a NiMh 5cell or 6 volt 2000 ma battery. If I still have issues after this then I'll suspect the reciever. I do think though that this may take care of the issue. I'll let you all know the outcome.
