New 7950th servo stripped??? Help!
 

Hey guys. I just ran my xr10 for the first time half an hour ago!! Yes!! Freaking A Awesome!! Then.... clack clack clack clack while turning right...... "pull the hammer back till cli...BaAM!!!":evil: what did i do wrong? Was my travel set to high? Should I have used a integy servo horn cause their longer? I mean it was brand new!!! $150.00 down the toilet of learn the hard way ville. I guess this is what i get for using murderfaces side panel idea for the dub. sigh... im frustrated!!

What does side panels have to do with the end points not being dialed down? On top of that, are you still running the stock 3 piece steering setup?

I just said that about the side panels for giggles and grins sake. I am not runnig the 3 link. I made my own link that is pretty much like the chaotic crawler bent link.

How bound up was the rig when using the steering? What servo arm was used? Is there binding through the travel of the steering? I thought Hitec had replacement parts for those servos.

It wasnt in a serious bind. I am using a racersedge servo horn. There is no binding. The link allows a lot of free movement. Hitec does offer replacement parts im sure.

Good,well that sucks. Atleast it should have replacement kits.

I just figured it out. I wasnt running enough voltage to it. The 7950th is a high voltage servo and I was only running 6 volts to it. That sound about right?

Contact them about sending it it, I bet they will replace it for you. Hi Tec is the Chit "thumbsup"

Mmmmmmm, I don't think so man. HV servos can handle high voltage, but they wont break if your not running them at larger voltages, especially not mechanical breakage. 6v. Is normal, I think you just had some mechanical bad karma. Contact Whitecaps about a warranty repair.

If you go to Hitec's website you can print out a return/repair form. customer service and warrenty are excellent, just had a 7950 fixed from them. The only repair parts offered to the public is the plastic housing, they dont offer replacement Ti gear sets. hope that will help"thumbsup"
