Default RE: Do I need to worry about this range test??

Thank you all for your various and precious inputs.

Molar mender,

Special thanks to you for your detailed and informative explanations. I would like to tell you that i had also a mishap on one of my flap servos while running some tests on the field.
I saw white smoke coming out of a flap servo HS 5985 (brand new Hitec servos). System was shut down immediately and when I dismantled said servo, it was completely jammed and lower case was burned. Knowing that this was the first pre flight and I had run extensive tests on all servos back in my workshop with no issues at all.

a)Would it be possible somehow, that smart fly/battery setup would be at fault and might have caused this problem?
b)Knowing that I ran my system at 6.0V. would this voltage be excessive on the Hitec servos?
c)What can i do to avoid same thing of happening to other servos on this plane?

Thanks again for all info.
Best regards.
Dany
