Sounds like an EPA problem. The servo is trying to move the shifter linkage farther than mechanically possible and the strain it's putting on itself by doing so is causing it to overheat. Edit: Just realised you have a TQ3. The TQ3 can be modified with EPA pots. It's a sticky at the top of the electronics forum: My Modded TQ3 Update - Added EPA pots Last edited by K_B; 08-24-2009 at 01:16 PM. |

Just put a spring on the engaged direction of the dig. Takes the pressure off the servo. Just like a two speed emaxx tranny, but you only need a spring on the engaging direction. Disengage can be direct.

I had one on a tq3/futaba s3003/r2d. Worked fine. Easier than moding the tq3 and works with any radio.
