Weird servo glitch


Fat Freddy

Recommended Posts

The servo on my Sca-1e* suddenly decided to steer hard left and stayed that way.  
It had a tiny bit of movement to the right but was basically stuck. 
Why would it do that?
I reset the sub trim on my transmitter so the steering horn was centred and it seems fine. Drove it for another hour with no issues at all….that I noticed.

So fingers crossed it’s fine?? Or am I likely to need a new one soon?

 

*Its not a stock Carisma servo, it’s a 35kg £33 cheapo off Amazon. Had it about 6 months and been really pleased with it, so far.

that kinda happened to my wifes coyote, but she did drive it off a cliff lol had to replace it as it had stripped out

That was my initial thought, either that or the servo horn had stripped.

But once the tx was re-centered  it seemed OK though so..??

Tempted to take a peek inside and check for missing teeth.
