| Savox 1268SG Issue!!!!
Hope someone can help. I have , or had a Savox 1268SG servo installed on my Wraith. Today I went out to run it and turned on the rig and instantly the steering jerked and locked to the right. It had no response to anything thing, and if I manually centered it or assisted it turning left nothing would happen and then if I turned right it would again go all the way to lock out. Setup: Axial Wraith ESC: Mamba Max Pro BEC: Castle BEC programmed to 6.4v RX/TX: FlySky GT3B and FlySky receiver Battery: Gens Ace 2s 20c 5000mah (x2 parrallel) 2s power. PS: I know its not the electronis other then the servo because I already installed another HiTec 5645waterproof servo and it seems to work perfect. Any ideas would be helpful. |

Have you run it in water recently? If so, it may have water in it causing a short. You can open the case and let it dry for a few days (after shaking it to remove any loose water).

The servo is completely Plasti Dipped on exterior. I peeled it all off (dont see any way in for water) and undid the screws and opened it up. Does not appear to be any moisture inside, but I could be wrong. Just because I dont see it doesnt mean its not there. No I had not run it in water since 2 weeks ago. I was working on it this week fixing a drag link issue so I know the servo was working on Friday because of repairs to steering links. Hopefully its a moisture thing and it dries out. Any other ideas.

The potentiometer died in mine. Worked great for a year and a half, and then just took a dump when I turned my rig on at a gtg a couple of weeks ago. I ended up ripping the board and pot out of mine and turned it into a servo winch.
