servo shutting down... help!

[Dan Holmes]

Hi all, new on here

Need some tech advice on a servo problem i'm having. I just changed from a Esprit 2 to an esprit 3 hooked it all up and servo seemed a little slow. took it to the track today and the servo ran down. it was like a battery getting flat and then it finally stopped working. Turn off and turn on and it works for a bit before the same thing happening. It's also getting real hot. Could this be it shutting down beacuse of overheating? Tried a budget servo and it wasn't getting hot although I didn't install it in the car.

Pretty stumped TBH any advice would be wikkid.

Thanks

Dan

Do you have the Esprit 3 in a "High Response" mode or something similar? These modes are not compatible with certain servos.

Not too sure I will have a look. thing is the instructions are all in japanese so finding it hard to work out.

Thanks for the info will check it out

Just tried it and it does seem better although still getting warm. dropped a budget Zebra servo in and it works fine. as with the other a few glitchey type interfeirance is their. well weird. Think I'll just grab a savox and have done with it

If you are using an old analogue (non digital) servo this is what happends if run in high responce. The budget one, if newer might be digital hence no problem. Ir of course it might just be knackered.
