|  Fried Servo!! Mechanical or Human Error ?? Ok so a buddy and I are crawling a bit in the garage yestersday, and he decided to be funny and stick a 1/2 oz. chassis weight on the back of his steering servo. Five minutes later the servo flipped out and started smoking. Now we are both novices to the hobby , but the best we could figure is that the lead must have interfeared with the signal and over heated the servo. Am I right ? Was it something else ? Or coinsidence ? |

| Was the servo already hot when you put on the weight? I don't know if lead can mess with servos at all but I think it might have just been a coincidence. |
