Has anyone had issues with this servo? I hope I just got a defective unit. I used it once and the next time out if stop working.

If it died after only one run, did you charge the battery?? Cause if theres not enough power the servo will not work at all!! Its not like a standard servo that will work untill the battery its drained all the way down!!

Thanks man but I checked that I have 2 in my 950 and I don't think it's the battery. If I switch channels the one that has the steering duties will turn as normal. Also I noticed some smoke from the wires at the base of the servo after about 15 sec of haveing the battery pluged in. The servo was steaming hot. I have no idea how this could just happen. Last night I changed it out with a stock cheap servo I had and they both work with out chargeing the RX pack. At a lost here cause it's 3 weeks old and Tower wants me to deal with Hitec. I will call them today and hope to get this resolved fast and with out coming out my pocket with more then shipping. Thanks for the help anyone using one of these servos?

B, I had a Hitec servo go bad on me after just a few bash sessions in my T, and sent it to hitec and they fixed me right up. Hope the do the same for you.

I've heard some things about htiec servos.. I have a 945 and a 925.. so far theyre workin just fine.

But I'm not really surprised.

Give em a call and post their contact info for the rest will you?

Yup those digital servos (just about any brand) will drain batteries pretty quick. Throw in a fresh set of alkaline in the pack and see if it works again, with that 5625, you might need at least an 1800 mAh if you use rechargables. I had a 5945 for a while and it killed batteries and was told putting two sets of batteries in paralell (via Y cable perhaps) fixes the problem.

LOL! 2 sets!

WARNING: He said PARALLEL! If you put it in serial, you will boost it to 12V and FRY YOUR RX!! Do not try this if you dont know what your doing. You have been warned.

I have a 925/945 and I get great run times from them(6v pack 1100mA. MAybe its because I have em in a buggy where it doesnt do much. This is really really overkill..lol

If I get a MT, I'm gonna put the 945 on it, use the 925 for steering and put something else for throttle.

i have a hs645mg how much torque does this have compred to a
945 or 925

645= 130x.20 @ 6volts
925= 103x.08 @ 6volts
945= 153x.12 @ 6volts

The digital servos ad about 30oz of torque to each servo

5645=164.2x.18 @ 6
5925=127.7x.08 @6
5945=180.53x.13@6

Lets see how it goes with the warranty stuff.

Wish me luck!
