I am putting together a new boat and I dropped in a Bluebird servo which I never have used before. It was a heavy servo with metal gears and it burned itself up in no time. The servo would just "jitter" and no matter what settings I tried for milliseconds etc. I could not get it to settle down. I then dug around in the drawer and plugged in a "cheaper" version of a bluebird servo and it spun like crazy in one direction and then smoked Hmmm.
I then began to question my receiver as it is a brand new spectrum marine receiver that I also had just purchase today. Well, I was out of servo's except I found a "mini" servo in a drawer and being a glutton for punishment, I plugged it in to. Well it worked successfully.
Never have had a servo problem before, but I usually use Hitec or Traxxas servo's. I guess I will go get one at the hobby store tomorrow and see finally if there is still something flaky with the receiver or is it really just some really bad servo's I was trying. I bought them a long time ago so can't even tell you where I got them from.
Anyone seen anything like that?
