Default Need Help! Throttle servo issue

I run a Hitec 5996 high speed servo in my Mugen MBX5R. I landed kinda hard on the chassi and the servo stopped working, but the stearing was great. I unpluged it and switched things around to make sure the servo was the issue ,not the battery, not the reciever, and not a short somewhere in the wires. 10 minutes later I plugged it back in to show someone the problem, and it worked just fine. It happened a week before at a race, but then majically fixed itself again after I noticed the screws were somewhat loose holding it down. Can someone please help?

they definitely will need a reciept ...the have an online claims form that you print out and send in with the servo ...so in your case maybe get your lhs to print you up a reciept ...or just call em and tell em whats going on a nd see what they say ...they do have awesome cs

No you dont need a reciept. Just send the servo with note and return address and telephone #. How old is the servo anyway?

Just send it in. I have sent servos in without receipts. Half of the time, i offer to pay for the repair, and they just fix and return.
