SERVOS BURNED - Again!

[roboTT]

RN1 is driving me crazy due to those servos burning ..

I mean, it's not a toy worth 25$ - and i cannot get why this happens so often?

I fly with TREX600 since 2yrs now, with full set of addons for stabilisation /etc and never expierenced anything like that!!!

Geee...

it's my 3rd servo within 4mths.

Hi, triple check where the servo aligns, where it goes in the board, and definitly get the servo hones lined up. the only good thing about your problem is that HiTec service is very good and if not get in touch with Tony Ohm on this forum.good luck hope to see you at the games Engineer

Also check the entire servo cable as these wear and may become pinched and short out.

I am just curious on how you have burned three servos? Can you tell us more about how and when they happen? I had my RN for over 2 years and have only smoked one servo in that time. It was when I first got the RN and it was because I lined up the servo horns wrong. I can not tell you how many gears I have strip though.

probably programming with the charger cable plugged in its almost the only way to get enough ampacity to smoke'm I've tried and sitting down takes the most power.
