i have a huge problem. i have a M11, DSM, and run air servos 358's. here in the last month it is burning up the throttle servos. i have put the servo in, made sure it was centered, even people at the track have checked it and after a day of racing it will not move. epa's set way short, no binding at all. in one day i went through 2 358's and one JR 9000s digital.. i have been racing for a looong time and never encountered this. could the DSM be causing this. thanks

Wow. Never seen a burned servo. I use 6 cell rx packs with no probs.

i got to thinking, could it be the radio is turned off first for a few minutes and the servo going to break and holding until i get the car turned off.

RC 101..RX allways switches on/off before TX!!

Also try to adjust the EPA so the servo isn't trying to move beyond the stops.

did that, like i said never has this happened, but everyday you learn something or come across a problem you have not seen and this is it.

I don't see how, unless your dsm is somehow sucking so much energy from your transmitter batteries that its causing spikes that make the car think your really turning your tx on and off repeatedly. I'd be surprised if thats the problem. keep troubleshooting
