Servo Problems

[antnee]

Thought I had stripped the gears in my servo so took the top off and saw the gears are fine, plugged it back in and it keeps going, as a normal motor would

Whats wrong with it?

Under the spline but )the bi tyou screw the servo onto there is like a little motor that has a rectangle style insert that goes into the bottom of one of the gears checks that the plasic that sits into onthe gear hasnt stripped sorta hard to explane.

WTF?? Not a single punctuation mark either...

I believe that the english version of what Ash means is the gears are stripped, just not the splines. On the underside of the main gear there is a oblong that juts out. This is the stop used to prevent what yours is doing. This is probably broken.

Im confused, are you on about the gears on top?

They are all fine

Yes. The very top gear that you attach your servo horn onto. It's underside is where the oblong lug is usually located. It's this that allows the servo to turn through just 60 degrees. However this might not be the problem! If not, I don't know...
