Default RE: Servo problem again.



How are ya "breaking" servos? Are the gears literally breaking, or does it twitch, or just stop working completely?? I just had a steering servo go haywire on my 1/10 buggy, (was twitching instead of turning the wheels) and my theory is the servos redcat is using, on the offroad vehicles, might not be able to handle the added strain put on them from bigger tires and a dirty racing environment??  Also, if your going through water, that can cause them to short circuit.. If your breaking gears though, ya might make sure your ball joints and stuff arent too dirty, and just make sure the steering linkage isnt excessivly tight. (Try removing the servo's turnbuckle from the steering, and see how hard it is to steer by hand.) Good luck! </p>
