Hi all first question post, please be gentle.
I have a Corally Kronos (Brand New) and changed to a Radiolink RC6GS so I can slow the model down (now about 10mph), on our 2nd run we (me and son) drove it round a RC track nearby, it has a few small kerbs on it and after a slow speed bump against a kerb the steering went over full left, on stripping down at the side of the track the Steering Servo was seized solid, I spoke to the dealers who I bought it from and he said send the servo back to them which i've done.
I noticed when i plugged in the servo to the reciever it was drawing a lot of current (as the light on the reciever dimmed in pulses) but the servo was not moving, I removed the servo and tried to move the arm on it but stuck solid.
My question is why would this fail, the car surely would be able to absorb most impacts it does have a servo saver on it but this was a low speed bump.
I've had a RC Nitro in the past and it took some big crashes and never failed me but this has me stumped.
Any help/advise/recommendations appreciated.
