    throttle sticks while driving i have no control of steering or brakes, new batteries in remote..

    Old batteries in the cars servo area.. maybe that's the issue. But the car still worked after hammering it threw the parking lot and then when I pushed the brakes when I approached it it appeared to stop so I pinched the fuel line.

    Please educate me on servos

    specifically, what kills them. By reading posts, I see that servos do die, and that the original HPI servos may not be the best. I have a few dead servos laying around, no gear issues, all electronic related. What is it that dies in the servo, what causes it, and is it repairable? I have a...

    HPI SF-5 Servo issue

    Hi guys, I'm almost at the end of a Savage XL rebuild, however my steering servo seems to be, well, I don't know, broken, possibly, possibly not...

    Servo problem. Traxxas Rustler TRX 2.5

    After I crank the truck, I can throttle the control, and everything works fine. The problem I'm having is, the brakes don't seem to work at all and when I try to apply the brakes, it's almost like it bouncing that servo motor from brake to throttle and it gets stuck. I have no control of...
