Hello everyone.
I so desperately seek your wisdom once again.
I have an Esky Belt cp which I crashed into a wall and the damage was minor (broke one blade).
Upon making repairs and adjustments I noticed the front servo was inoperative.
When all is powered up, the servo is moveable by hand as the others are not.
Am I right to assume the obvious? (that the servo is shot)
What could possible cause that to break with such a minor impact?
Thank you in advance.
Tino.
PS The servos are digital.

Thank you for the quick reply.
The servo feels like it has resistance and that the gears are not broken.
It feels the same as the others when the power is off.

The gear may not be entirely stripped but only on certain teath. rotate the arm left and right as far as possible and feel for any areas.
If the gear isn't stripped then check to make sure it's plugged all the way into the receiver.

I inspected the servo and the gears are intact.
I verified that it is inoperative by an A-B-A test at another terminal.
Perhaps that was the cause of the crash!
