|  HS-645MG servo acting goofy. Since I strriped the teeth off my stock servo after a few days I went ahead and picked up the HiTec HS-645MG at the LHS. I plugged it into the Losi reciever and checked it before I installed it and it seemed fine, growled a bit but figured it was OK. Made a mount for it and got ready to crawl, but when I turned the rig on the servo just sits there and twitches by itself and really doesn't respond to the transmitter. Bummer. Anyone run into this problem, maybe I just got a bad servo? |

| Might try to diagnose it...try a different servo....Also, i've done this, make sure it's pluged into correct place on RX...Are you using a differnt Transmitter, if a DX3R check frame rate. If all that fails might have fried something else...Can't hurt to try  hope this helps |

| Thanks. Unfortunately I don't have another servo on hand to try, but I can plug the stock one back in and it functions just fine (besides missing some teeth). All the other radio gear is the stuff it came with. |

| Make sure your servo wire is not near your power wires or esc. When I put my 645 in when the wires were close to the esc it would twitch. move your wires around till it will stop your servo is probally just fine. |

| Make sure your connector going into your receiver is plugged in the right way. |

| It's in the right way. I tried it the other way just for the heck of it and it doesn't do anything. ESC wires are plenty far away. I think I just need to return this servo. |

| Bring the servo and the whole rig into the hobby shop and let them check it out. It does sound like a bum servo, but ya never know it could be something else. |
