Default Hitec 7955 on night crawler stock receiver

Will the servo fry my receiver? I was told i could still run this servo on my stock night crawler. but im not getting any response from my receiver.

You can run it on the stock RX. In fact, I'm running a 7955 on my LNC with the stock RX ...but I am using a CC BEC.

Are you using an external BEC with it? If not, you won't get the full power @ 6V and you will be limited the voltage of the internal BEC on the stock ESC.

You probably have it plugged in backwards.

X2...make sure the black wire is on the ---> right side of RX

The stock servo was terrible and upgrading to the 7955 was a great choice. Right now you are only getting 250oz of torque @ 4.8V which is a big improvement over stock. Getting a BEC allows you to use it at 6V and get the full 333oz of torque, if you have the available power might as well use it

Ok guys thanks. I thought that maybe putting in the new servo made something go bad. but its just the factory radio and receiver again. This is the 2nd time in a week that they have went bad. You can hear surging power in the radio. once i bind it and take out the plug and pwr down the truck. and turn it back on there is no signal.

w/out the bec the servo can overload the internal bec in the ESC killing the receiver... Plumb in a CC-BEC and set it for 6.0ish and go!
