servo

So I got the kit and built it. The stock servo died. I contacted Horizon Hobby and they sent me a S6170 to replace it. I hooked it up and it stutters. When I turn the wheel on the radio nothing happens. Maybe it will respond but not for long before it stutters again. I am wondering if this is a...

Recently got an AMP DB and after just a few runs I've lost steering! It still goes forward and back like normal though... I was thinking about just buying a new servo, but then I was able to get the wheels to turn when lifted off the ground. Although, this won't happen consistently and I...

Hi All, I am new to RC cars. I bought a 1:10 AMP 2WD monster truck for my son. At first it worked fine, then the steering went out. I found that the servo case was partially melted. Clearly some type of over heating/short in the servo case. I ordered a replacement servo (S6170 Standard Digital...

I'm looking to upgrade to a metal gear servo and wanted to see what everyone has been putting in their torments.

Just spent way too long putting what was supposed to be an upgraded servo into my circuit and after installing it seems slower and less powerful. I first noticed that I could no longer turn the wheels with the car turned off. Well I can but with much force. Also the wheels don’t return to...

Hello, Rookie here. Just picked up used 2wd Ruckus and 4x4 Ruckus: - The 2wd steering behaves as I would expect - The 4x4 it seems like the wheels don't really turn as far - If the vehicle is stationary I can hear the servo moving but the wheels don't turn as far in either direction as my 2wd...

Hello! Just getting back in to this hobby after many years away, things have certainly come on a bit since my 1986 Blackfoot, so I got hold of a new/old stock Ruckus for general bashing and to learn with. After a couple of days of running stock everything (NiMh batteries at the minute), I've...

So I bought my son (17 yo) his first hobby grade rc for his birthday a few weeks back. I turned him loose in our local hobby and he chose an ECX Amp MT. Not knowing much about rc cars (I'm an airplane guy myself) I didn't realize that this model was on its way out... He drove his truck with...

I really need a metal servo for my ECX amp, I bought one on amazon, but it is way too big for the amp, even though it is for 1/10. Can someone leave a link of a metal servo that fits the ECX amp perfectly? Please? Thank you!

I really need some knew mounts and cant seem to find any.

ok my sons amp burned up the servo. One minute it was working the next minute the steering gave out and after that smoke came from the servo. I just ordered a JX Servo PDI-6113MG with metal gears and I have a few questions. First off how hard is this to install. I don’t see any YouTube videos...

Ordered the new radio,esc and servo for my amp kit. Radio is a Tactic ttx300 3 channel. I like these they are decent but not overly complicated and pretty rugged have one on my sawback and it works great. The 3rd channel can be made 2 3 or 4 position. Also its a small rx and no antenna wire...

anyone have any experience with Xpert brand servos? specifically, i'm looking at a 3000 series low profile one - XPTPI-3431 any help/input is appreciated

On our new Ruckus 1/10 the steering servo is turning 75% either way, and then pausing before finishing the full turn. There doesn't appear to be anything blocking the steering arm. I have also tried adjusting the trim and the gain from the control to no effect. Any ideas? I am assuming the...

the servo in my ruckus 4wd only free wheels there is no gear sound or gear feel when moved left to right. Is this a sign that it is time to get a new servo or is it something inside the servo that I broke?

I recently got a new servo. The Power HD 1501MG and I can't install it because the hopes aren't right. How can I fix this

My jx servo just craped out on me today and I'm looking for a new servo. I just want something that will last more than a month. Less than $30, reasonably quick, dual bearings and if possible metal gears. It is going in my ruckus so it needs to be strong.

Hello, One newbie question. When upgrading to a high-torque metal gear servo, should I also install a servo-saver eliminator, such as RPM's 73492? Thank you in advance
