i think that you guys (and t hodge) have found the holy grail of fixes to the 8ight servo problem.



someone on tech talk asked adam about servo issues. here's what he had to say.......

they then told adam that they had fried yet another servo and asked what should they do about it.....

so.......it seems that the servo's are indeed being overstressed. what adam has said confirms what some of the rest of you guys have been saying all along. hope this fixes it once and for all.
