Broken Throttle Servo...Need Replacement!

[gthang]

How hard are throttle servos to break?

I think mine's broken but don't know why.

What replacement's do you recommend, and how much does it cost (MSRP)?

Thanks guys.

I like hitec servos, the 625 makes a nice throttle servo. Check out Servo City They have very good prices, and free shipping.

I use JR servos. Have not let me down sofar... but then i haven't used anything else but JR so i really can't tell if they are good or not. They just do what they are supposed to do.

JR servos are nice too, they also have a three year warranty.

breaking a throttle servo is pretty hard. it's usually the steering servo that gets it. i broke my throttle servo once. the screws holding the servo mount were loose and the vibrations snapped the plastic mounts.

when it comes to picking a servo, you've got a lot to choose from. metal gear servos are better than plastic geared ones. the higher the torque a servo has the more muscle it has when doing it's job. those servos are great for steering large vehicles like monster trucks and racing buggies.

they range in price from $10-$15 all the way up to $100+

good luck,
Rob

You might want to open up the servo and check to see if maybe you just broke some of the gears in the servo. Those are easy and cheap to repair. Just a thought.
