2 Losi RTR truggies burning out both servos?

[BULL1TT_KEV]

Breaking them in on the starter boxes, Truggie 1 puked both servos by the 3rd tank. Throttle then steering.

Truggie 2 puked the throttle servo on tank 4, then steering on tank 6.

Anyone got advice?

Yes the end points were adjusted and I know what I", doing. These are the high torque servos, I believe they are the same in throttle and steering. They never made it off the starter boxes when they puked.

Check your linkage. If your EPA is set correctly, I would still double check it.....but what kind of servos? Just the stock RTR Servos? They could just be bad out of the box. No strain while you're not driving it ;-)

Sounds like a binding issue to me though....4 bum servos in 2 different rigs in that little fuel? Something is wrong for sure....binding will burn out a servo REAL fast too.

MotoGod is right. The stock servos WILL fail every time with minimal use. I've seen RTR after RTR fall under these conditions. It's good that it is happening now and not in the middle of a race. You'll want metal geared servos. Digital and High Voltage are other options, just read about and study them. Once you have found the servo replacements you'll want to install them correctly. Make sure they are spaced from the radio tray properly per brand name, see owner's manual. Then set the E.P.A. "End Point Adjustment." Throttle... After entering this menu, pull Throttle back 100%. Reduce travel of the servo arm. DO NOT allow the throttle linkage to stop the servo travel. Make the servo stop before it reaches that point. Steering... Turn the wheel either left or right 100%. Does anything make contact? Reduce travel accordingly. These are the most common reasons for the failure of servos in the Losi RTR's. "Binding up, contact, impact and too much travel. Hope this helps. All this info is in the Spektrum radio manual and Losi owner's manual.
