Having problems with a Orion 2612 servo(ORI68012). I just purchased this used from a fellow rctech member and only got about a lap around the track when I immediately noticed something wrong. Once the servo is run for a minute or so it slows drastically, then you slowly lose all steering. Once you let it sit for a couple seconds and try to steer it works for a brief second then goes back to non-functioning. I've already tried another servo in its place and works pefectly fine. Is the servo no good?

Getting hot and dying off?

Any binds in your steering linkage?

Its acting like its getting hot and dying off but the servo isn't hot. Like i said I put another servo in its place and worked perfectly fine. The original servo that I used before the 2612 was another orion servo, the vds-2015 but I needed it for my 1/8 so I purchased the 2612 used from a fellow member. with the vds-2015 in the truck it operates fine so I know its not the steering linkage because all I did was swap servos.

you can see the servo slow after steering for a few seconds. On the track I got around a few corners and noticed something wrong. with the tires on and the weight of the truck it happens quicker.

That's what I was thinking. The seller told me to take it apart but I didn't find much. To me unless a servo has stripped gears, there should be no need to take apart the servo.
