Issue with Hitec 7950 Servo

[rcscaler]

well, I did some research about this hitec 7950 servo here last night. and I cannot find any info which relate to my issue now.

my 7950 is pretty new, only ran for 4 scale comps until now. I run MMP ESC with HH 27t motor with 3S Lipo and I got a CC BEC @ 7.4V for 7950.

ok, here is the story......few days ago, I noticed that my 7950 cannot really turn to left side(only about half way compare to usual working condition as before and seem a bit weak than before as well), but it can turn to right side pretty fast and powerful.

Also, it shook by itself sometime and suddenly turn right a bit and turn left as well.....and I cannot even control the servo from my 4PL during this bad situation....also getting hot
Then, I paly my rig again today....about 10 mins later...the 7950 was not working at all...I even unplugged the CC BEC and plugged servo to RX directly..and still no power at all...but I can turn the servo by hand pretty easy.


I think I will cost some money if it needs to go back to Hitec for service....
Anyone knows what's going on with my 7950?


Thanks

Since It's new I bet hitec will replace/repair it for free.

+1.

Sounds like a board inside has failed.

Make sure the servo arm is not rubbing on the servo case & that the steering has no binds.
When you get a working servo in the rig, make sure the steering EPA's are set correctly.
