Default Servo melting problem...

Hi guys,

I'm having a bit of trouble with one of my jets that all of the sudden it decided to start frying my gear ( ch 5 ) servo. I've been flying this particular Jet this year non stop and the last outing it began frying my gear servo. I've replaced it now 4 times. Today I did a few tests and I gave up. I normally load my birds with a pair of 2700 Nicads on 2 separate channels ( no regulator ) with 2 separate heavy duty switches and it has never been an issue.

I even eliminated one of the batteries and switches to see if that was the issue and still after 4 or 5 minutes you see the servo case starting to melt.

Anyone care to give me some ideas as to what I need to check next please ?

Is it possible that the RX has gone bad ?

Can a RX for some reason or another go nuts and just take out one channel like it's doing ?

I'm really running out of options here and don't know what to do.
