Nope servo Saver isn't locked plus it was a flat field so nothing to jam the steering. Hoping horizon tell me what had happened but I seems like the board has died or the motor though there is no burning smell or anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy in my group ( And a member on here ) burnt out his S9020 and when talking to people at the MMR indoor track there was a few people who had issues with it burning out and some of them were told it was because they were using dual steering linkage set-ups and to stick to a single linkage. He's not had an issue since. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not had an issue since. Hmmm I did wonder if the dual linkage may have been a cause hmmm looks like I will have a dual team hoonage up for sale soon lmfao. Hopefully the failure will be covered by the warranty I wonder if it's due the anti feedback system Edited May 6, 2016 by norcoforever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Yes, the front centre dogbone does get very hot! And that's in a moderately paced BL conversion! (You mentioned this a while back!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I've just been quoted 66 for the Hitec 845, I think that's what I'll go for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure mine will be covered under warranty it's just a pain as I don't carry a spare steering servo and have the week off work so was hoping to get a bit of bashing in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noj Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Pity about the 9020, interesting to hear others have the same issue with that steering set up. As I have a lowly Savox fitted, I may be interested..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norcoforever Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 Well it's been an interesting time for my 5ive. Following the dead 9020 which is with horizon I'm back to the stock servo which sucks frankly however with nice weather comes bashing however today somehow the flywheel nut fell off even though it's been fitted at the factory however fitted a new flywheel and nut and zero issues I've also found out that my shell which looks amazing is due to arrive from sharkfat next week so lots of photos will be added Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
