another servo bites the dust

[majin]

well. i killed another servo. but you knew this already from the title.
what you DIDNT know was that it was on the wraith.
gave a rock a kiss and it was NOT a good kisser.
I'm not surprised tho, i have huge 2.2's on it aluminum axles, and drive like a drunken llama.
ON THE FENCE ABOUT REPAIRING IT BEFORE oops btc this year. on the one hand ii wanna drive it a lot, on the other hand i can definately get a stronger servo for about the same price id pay for an amazon jobber....
probly gonna wait unless i can figure ut which rig can donate from.

i forget how much i dig the wraith so often
easily in my top 3 rigs. its just a freaking tank.

swapped out, turns out i didnt burn the servo but stripped the teeth off of the servo horn. regardless the wraith deserved a stronger servo. I'm gonna score a bed for it so i can see it on 8v

Glad you got things figured out.
The stripped servo horn... was it a clamping style horn?

Good job bro! I've never stripped one of the aluminum ones. Just the cheap plastic ones. I need to try harder.

Well, chit. I thought maybe you were using a non-clamping horn actually. Did you use any threadlocker on the two clamping screws?
