Andrew99 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Hi lads the throttle servo from my hpi baja stuck wide open and it hit nearly at full speed a metal ballard . Bad news ! 😂 see pictures chassis also front and rear is knackered ! what could cause that ? And what could prevent it in the future ? Servo was quite new( 10 hours of use from new ) both batteries from transmitter and receiver fully charged cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark35 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Wow.. That's not gonna be a cheap fix.. Lol Either signal loss or duff t/b servo is the likely cause, You should run a remote killswitch to prevent this from happening again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew99 Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 I know it was cheaper to buy another hpi baja 5b used to use parts from both cars rather than repair it I have kill switch now 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I bet it looked great though until damages assessed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew99 Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 Yes it was !!! it would cost me to repair it £450 so I bout another one 5b used for £330 and I combined the best parts getting there ..... see pictures 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
