Default Servos getting hot!

Just took my new max for a test, and the steering servo are hotter than hell. I've never noticed servos getting hot. Is this normal, whats causing it?

I used 1/4 scale servos, and they each run on their own battery.

How much did your 1/4 scale servo cost you? I can't say I have had any experiance with 1/4 parts.

or are you running enough? As seen with our bigger motors when a little bit of power is ran in them they heat up fast.
