Default Hitec 5645MG Crapped out

I have only had this servo in my Impulse Pro for 2 weeks and it already crapped out. I have not spilled any gas on it(Even installed a guard so that the gas does not get on it if spilled) and the throws are set to be 45% for throttle and 60% for brakes so I am not doing anything to burn out the Servo Motor. The thing just goes dead...makes a noise but that is about it. When I unplug it from my recevier and put it back in it moves just a little and then nothing. Man This sucks... we have a big race this weekend and now I am not going to be able to race unless I can fix my KO 2143. What do I need in order to get this fixed and where do I send it. I bought it from Stormer Hobbies but do not have the packing slip anymore. I hope this thing is still under warranty.

Thanks

Mike Webb

I would personally recommend the HS-525MG servo for throttle. I have used on for over 3 years in my nitro touring car and it has never given me any trouble.

Mike- No, you can't trade for different servos. Sorry! The 525MG only sells for about $30.

Send a note with it asking that if it is to be replaced you would like a 525MG instead. I can't guarantee anything.

MIke.

Mike-

If it is not your policy to do that then that is OK.... I know that Novak does it for upgrading . I will send a note but if it against your policy I don't want any special treatment.

Thanks Mike

get Hitec to fix your 5645 send it to me and I'll send you a 525. I'll trade a $30 servo for a $60 one anyday. LOL

I'm sure Mike_Webb ment "HS5625MG" not "HS525MG"

Just for the confused.
