Faulty Savox 1258 servo??

[gazhillAE]

I've got a brand new savox 1258 which on its first run seems to have an issue.

Basically if you clip a corner, pipe or even do a small grip role it seems to knock the steering out of track etc

The only way to correct it is to adjust the rates on the tranny but doing that half way through a race isn't easy or good!

Never had this before and it's annoying me

Tried different servo horns and still doing it

Brand new servo so let me know your thoughts

sounds faulty, its loosing it centre point, a falt normally saved for very cheep servos. I'd return it under warrantee as I would think there is some faulty circuitry in there somewhere, most likely a part they buy in

Have you heard about it before with anyone else?
Cheers

not with savox, but was reading up about servos some time ago, some guy was testing servos in the US,some of the cheep ones were unable to return to the set centre point when under load, thus you would keep having to retrim them. I have had it with the servo in one of the kids RTR cars, he had one of those cheep ones horizon were selling last year, good car but the servo was total poo needed re trimming every lap
