Bad day to be a servo - son1cn - 01-20-2007

i got an 8ight RTR, and today my steering servo basically exploded, and i don't know where to send it to get a new one, and i don't don't know what kind of servo i can get for like $40-50 that will last longer than this one, this one lasted only 4 weeks. I think this happened at the beggining of the practice day today at around 11:15, and i didn't want to stop after 5 minutes, so i taped it and it lasted until 2 and now it is basically toast.

Send it to horizon, if they don't fix it get a JR z650m. Use the rubber grommets they give you!

Bad day to be a servo - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 01-20-2007

pick up an ace servo off amian for 75 thats the best bang for ur buck ur gonna find

Bad day to be a servo - son1cn - 01-20-2007

use the rubber grommets with the JR z650m or with the stock ones? the stock ones didn't have grommets....
i found another thing, the RTR only has 2 out of the 4 clutch shoes, which kinda sucks

Bad day to be a servo - Ponch - 01-20-2007

Get some for the stock one then if they fix it, always use them.

Bad day to be a servo - kevinF - 01-20-2007

i would send it in, get a new one, and then buy a beter one, say an ACE or futaba servo and use the free one as a spare

Bad day to be a servo - kevinF - 01-20-2007

and it wasnt the losi 8ight's fualyt for the servo blowing, those servos arent that great, i have blow 4 JR and spektrum servos in the TTR

I'm guessing that that is why King Headz has the radio tray brace that several people said wasn't needed.....

Bad day to be a servo - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 01-20-2007

the brace was for the throttle servo problem really wont matter for the steering one

do i use this form to send my stuff back? if so what do i have to pay, i thought they will just give me a new one with no 'labor' fees. just wondering

Bad day to be a servo - MX_KEVIN - 01-20-2007

Just fill out the form and send it in with a copy of the reciept and the'll fix it for free. Horizion has great C.S. and have fixed every thing i sent in. That looks like a defect to me. Just leave some contact info incase they need to get ahold of you.

You didnt smash that with a hammer???

Call Horizon hobbies, and ask for the Losi division. Explain to them what happened. I had problems with the original LST, and they were VERY helpfull with replacing bad parts. (3 Stub axles, Center outdrive shaft, 2 sets of suspension arms, and they were also quick to replace a LOT of the Mach .26's that came in the original truck due to the washer in the engines exploding.)
