Default Rooster and RX flashing...

Dunno if this is typical, but I'll share anyways...

I turned on my crawler today, it acted normal for about three seconds then nothing but a clicking sound. I removed the body and inspected it, the RX and the ESC had red and green lights flashing in time, no steering, no dig servo, no motor. I thought it might be low voltage so I swapped my 7 cell for a 6 cell and got the same thing (both freshly charged). I pulled the dig servo wire out of the RX and got my steering and motor back, plus the ticking went away. I plugged it back in and my faults returned. I tried moving the dig servo and wasn't able to. So, at the end of it all my dig servo (Tower TS-150) fried and caused everything else to lock up, I'm guessing it was drawing too many amps.

Specs:
AX10
Novak Crawler
3PM 2.4
6 and 7 cell 2/3 'C'
TS-150 Dig servo (HR Dig)
Hitec 7955TG Steering servo

Now what to get to replace it, I am tossed between a 2075 or a 645...

Default

it was probably shorting out

Plug your steering servo into the dig channel and check that output of the rx,,if the s.servo works fine then id say the ts was definitely shorted
