Default Servo won't stop

When I power on my Servo cranks over and keeps cranking. What is up?

Yeah. I just switched plugs at the ESC and the motor behaved as expected when I turned the steering controls, and when the servo gets power it keeps cranking.

Thank you Gen8 for making that test easy while my ESC is still zip tied into a balloon.

Full disclosure I did bash the servo hard enough to break the mounts, it has been held in with zip ties for a week or so.

the controler shorted out you can remove the guts of the servo and buy a $5 10a esc for a micro rig and turn that servo in to a winch just hook the esc output wires to the motor inside the servo and u have a cheap winch

Thanks Ferp... I will try that winch idea and will no doubt have questions when I get to it.
