I was on a grassy area, it was a little wet but the BEC (and everything else) was bone dry, so I am about 99.99999999% sure it was not a failure due to water.

No excess load or anything, just driving it about, it died in a straight line, I went to turn and had no steering.

I have always found it to run hot, even with the last servo I had in it.

I have hooked up the servo directly to a 2s lipo (got confirmation from Savox that it will run on 2s directly) and it seems to work fine.

There is no binding in the steering, it's all nice and free.


I am willing to spend $40, it's just that I kinda find it hard to justify when there are plenty of quality $50 servos out there that could do the job, although with another Savox one, I would probably need a BEC anyway.
I did have a Hyperion DS20 FMD running in it for a short while which did the job well.

I mainly got this servo to be the end of all servo problems, not thinking that it would cause me more problems.

EDIT; I just took a picture of it and looking at I think theres a possibility that it shorted out.
I am assuming that the film stuff all over it is their water prevention stuff.
Looking at the bottom legs of that chip, it's obvious that the one on the right is near non-existent, the others look like they had something across them but dunno what.
