Savox 1251 issues - no or little right turn

[simonrhart]

Anyone else seen issues with the Savox 1251 - the low profile servo? I have only had mine for a few months and now I'm finding sometimes that the servo doesn't respond to a right turn. After looking at the servo when trying to turn right, it appears that something is blocking it, when in fact there is nothing blocking it.

Another thing I noticed is, when it does respond to a right turn, if I hold the wheels there is almost no torque in the servo, in other words just lightly holding the servo will stop it from turning right. However the left turn is fine. Weird.

Could be knackered gears I guess.

I have bought another servo for my Kyosho Lazer also a slim line and will be trying the Futaba BLS551 to see if that servo is any better.

Cheers
