Servo Problem

[Saboteur]

Well after I rechecked the gears of my futaba s3003 steering servo, I reinstalled it in my nitro sedan and turned on the radio and the car to do a servo check. To my surprise I just heard a loud buzzing noise coming from the steering servo. I tried using the steering trims, but it didnt stop the sound, nor did the wheel turn. After I took the gears out of the servo and turned the radio and car on again, the motor inside started to run constantly at high rpm. Do you think the servo is busted and I may have to get a new one? It wont really matter though, because I would like to get a servo with a little more torque anyway. :confused: :)

The motor is turning because you have re-assembled the servo with the potentiometer off-centre.

Before you refit the gears, rotate the metal knob of the "pot" to a position where the motor doesn't spin.

Ok, Ill give it a try now and see how it goes. :)

Hey it worked!! Thanx a bunch man. Though I still need a new gear, as one stripped 2 teeth.:D :) How much do these run for anyway?
