plz help. burning servo's

[petal2thametal]

hi guys.

i got a little prob.

i got a g4 with the team magic 650mah 6v battery pack.
i wanted to try it for the first time. but when i turned on the power, my servos are getting fried.

anyone an idea how this is possible?

Maybe it's wired backwards? Check the polarity on it. And check the servo's/reciever connection. You might have a plug in backwards.

Or, the servo's were wet.

What servos were you putting in what receiver? Certain servos have reversed polarity. (If memory serves me well).

What do you mean by fried?

Not quite sure what a g4 is, but are you running digtal servos?

 

[Diver6127]

G4 is an onroad car.

Are you sure they are fried? How do you know?

hi guys thnx for replys.

umn wel iam sure they are getting fried alright. smoke is comming out.
already found the prob.

the wire of the pack were connected wrong at the factory.
had to change it.
too bad i already burned 2 servos.

 

[Bouzouki]

So it was the battery packs fualt making it their fault.

That sucks.

I wonder if you damaged your receiver as well...

 

[petal2thametal]

no thats the strange thing.. receiver works fine.
thank god for that. the servo's were 2 standart gas servos.
glad i didnt try my 60 bucks steering servo.
