|  Another 945mg bites the dust!
Well, now my other brand new digital 945mg died. Are digital servos more prone to problems? I haven't had any problems at all with the analog ones I've owned, had an analog 945mg for 3 years before it died. I've had 2 of these die on my within a couple weeks.  |

Before the last event I bought 2 new servos, a 5645 for the front and a 645 for the rear. The rear one is just fine, and the digital front one now has no power at all. Seems to me like the digitals die easier, but it's the first one I've bought. BTW it sucks spending that much on a servo and only getting like 2 hours of time on it before it dies. |

;) if they have a 5 in front of them they are digital. 645 not digital, 5645 digital, 945 not digital, 5945 digital. At least that is my understanding.

thats strange.as for my opinion i was basing it on alot of members here like to run no servo saver and didn't know you where using them.i'm not impressed with hi tec my self.i ran the 5945mg and wasn't impressed with it from the beginning.wasn't to bad but i always thought it should've been better.then i got my blue birds and tried them and they put the 5945mg to shame.turned the wheels faster and from end to end with no problem.some thing the 5945mg never really did that good.

Ok, first off the radios that you and everyone else run(TQ3) does not have epa. The stock traxxas servos do not turn as far from the factory as the hitec does. So, traxxas has tuned there radios to have more servo action. When you put a aftermarket servo in the truck that turns further than a stock traxxas, it over powers it as far as the travel goes. The reason you are burning the digital up is because they are much more sensitive to heat than the analog servos are just because of them being digital. I had the same problem when I bought my Revo. I put a hitec 5945 on the steering. It wouldnt turn lock to lock. When I changed to my XS3, I had more than I needed but I could tune it out. Thats why some people(Like me) dont like the 4WD radio...I think thats what it is called. That radio doesn't have EPA. You end up having to spend over $150 to get a radio that has the epa.

Does your truck not glitch bad with 2 hitorque servos? I have a Gecko and a TLT with duel servos. I have to run a rx pack on both of them or they will glitch every time. | |

Maybe instead of a simple three way switch on a TQ3, a momentary hold (or whatever it's called) one would work better. That way, you only push it to turn when you need it, but I don't think it would have the ability to turn more or less depending on how far you push the switch lever.
