| Servo Question ?
Hey since you guys were so helpfull with my last question about lipo's , i thought id ask one more question . I had my scaler out dickin around with it , in a lil bit of water and now the servo is acting weird. When i grab the wheel and turn it , its really free (no resistance) like its not hooked up . Now the threads on the outer drive where the servo arm mounts to are fine. but when i turn my truck on it can still turn the wheels but glitches , anyone experience this yet?

You likely have water in it shorting something out. I recommend taking everything apart, including the bottom section with the electronics, look for any fried spots on the ciruit board. Make sure everything is dry and relube your gears when you put it together (given there is no burnt spots on the ciruit board).

Yeah, it might have some moisture inside. What servo are we talking about? If you plan on playing in water much, you might look into getting a servo that has o-rings around the screws and where the case halves meet (I believe most Futaba servos have this feature, but you might want to ask).
