I was running the Hyper7 that I built for the first time the other week and finishing the breakin on the O.S. .21 rg.
The throttle servo locked up and is no longer working. It is the ultra torque servo that I got from Fast Eddy a good while back for the buggy build.

When I was building the hyper, the two brake links and the throttle link kept binding up. I had to work at it for a while to get it right. I thought this might have caused the issue, but it seems fine. Did I do something wrong here??
Has anyone else ever had this happen??

Did you try removing the servo to see if it still works. Are your linkages to long or short?
 
It sounds like a setup issue, either the binding or the end points (EPA on your radio) were most likely the cause. What kind of servo was it? Do you still have your receipt? If it was less than a year and you have the receipt there's good chances they will take it back under warranty. (The servo manufacturer that is, not where you bought it)
