Default Servo Problem

I was making my RB-1 Rolling when my gasket broke, (repaired) but my problem got bigger. My servo is all screwed up. When i put gas, its good, when i applie brake, good but when i repeat the move it begin to screw up. When i make it turn right and left, Its going crazy, its going on off and and the direction is going every side and the gas goes to max and block there.

WTH Happened to it?.. [&o][&o][&o]

Help Will be greatly appreciated.

Well, i remember the first time i made it run and it ran into a small hole with water in it, but ran well after. There was that day too when i went to the baseball field, it rained the other day and sand got everywhere. I guess there are still some left in it somewhere. But I know it got wet.

most likely something happened to the reciever when it got wet.

Do you mean the electric went out so you cant solder?

like i said earlier, you most likely fried the reciever when you ran thru the water, even if it didnt damage it right away, it could have taken a little time to get into something.

you need to put the reciever in a "balloon" to keep it water proof or you really shouldnt run in any water.

Tilux.......

If the Battery is getting Hot, then you have a Short circuit somewhere....

I agree with Eddie. You probably have a Damaged receiver.....

Moisture, of Any kind, is BAD for electronics....

Water will not always kill electronics Right Away.
Sometimes, the component will last for awhile before it fails completely.

You are Lucky. If the Throttle channel had filed, you might have had a Run Away.....

Well. I guess i short-circuted somewhere and the receiver bad. It's an |R-10|27.195MHz|AM Frequency| Can I find it at my local hobby store? (not an himoto dealer)

I forgot to mention that before the battery came hot. When i plugged only 1 servo, it worked perfectly. The problem only kick in when the 2 were plugged. Now i cant do that now. Battery getting hot. Dont wanna make em' blow up.

Tilux.....

You may have a shorted servo, which MAY have fried your reciever.

You should not plug in a Suspect servo to your new receiver, (which you should be able to buy at your LHS).

MAYBE you can talk your LHS into testing your servo for you.....
