Because you get what you pay for. Those servos just don't last. I suggest looking into a better quality servo.

ok. i was worried something may have been wrong elsewhere. but i was hoping it was just because it was cheap. thanks

i had one of those and it lasted only about a month also then same thing happened poof up in smoke when i bound it up. you can get a power HD 1501mg for 19$ has 235 oz/in im going to try it out and once i burn up another cheap servo i will just spend the money and get a high quality hitec.

That's what happens when servos hang around the bad element. It starts with smoking and will most likey lead to drinking next. Marajuana will be next and probably harder drugs unless you get them steered on the right path.
