Thumbs down Servo problems? - 01.21.2006, 12:18 PM

My new servo has a problem, i plugged it into the reciever and tried to turn on my evx, so it has power, when i turn it on, the servo turns to full left, than once i turn on my transmitter, the servo makes a little jiggle sound and doesnt turn, it just stays in its spot, any ideas what the problem is? thanks.


The problem with nitro's these days are that they arent brushless... LOL

What about the way you have connected it? probably you reversed the servo jumper to the other side?

No, i tried both ways, in the 1st channel, it doesnt make a difference, it still does the same thing.

What about the EVX? esc sometimes affects the servo performance.

Ok guys, i think the servo isnt good, i tried a different servo and it works just fine, i took apart the servo, and it seems as if it is forced to turn to the left, is my servo broken or what? Its brand new! *by the way this is a BMS-660MG Super Strong Standard Size Servo w/ Heat Sink JR/Hitec*

I guess a shorting in the circuit is the reason or the servo's motor is damaged. Are you using the Futaba HRS receiver by any chance?

How would i be able to fix the servo>? all the gears look fine, the motor spins, its just it wont center, it just turns to the one side and stays there, why? A short i assume?

I am having the same problem with my JR650m. I think it's because the battery is low? It was working fine when I tore down my truck. or we are having the same problem out of 2 different servo's, one new and one used. Hmmmm.
