RC4WD mayhem high torque servo problem

[OllllO Fanatic]

Hey I have a mayhem high torque, $30 one that is now discontinued, in my TF2 for the shifting and it gets incredibly hot. I only used it one time with out the body on, as it is not finished, and when I stopped I could feel heat. I panic'd at first thinking it was my ESC or motor... But no it was the mayhem high torque shifter servo. I have the servo plugged into the AUX on my receiver, sr300 with dx3s. I had change gear a few times but I wouldn't think that would make the servo get that hot. Any body have the same issue, or am I being a newb again?

It sounds like your epa is off causing the servo to try and push the linkage further than it can causing the extra heat

^^^Agree on both accounts, trim the "xtra" out with the endpoint adjustment. Should "push" past your steering/gear selection max.

I should have known that, thank you.

if you dont have a computer radio try moving to a shorter hole on the servo arm to reduce the throw
