Cheap Spektrum will always glitch with Savox.

I mean, A Main has that disclaimer there for that specific reason...

All this said, I have had a couple 1267s and 1258s fail, but I keep using them because the warranty is so good.

I see a couple of things that stand out to me.

1. As others have stated, that servo isn't sufficient for the load being placed on it. People tend to underestimate the torque and stress put on a servo when operating the brakes.

2. It's a Losi, which is notorious for eating throttle servos. There's a reason Losi updates the radio tray every 3 months. (not literally but they are on Rev3)

3. Seeing all of this, I'm also going to assume the EPA's aren't setup correctly. You'd be surprised at how many people don't have their's correct.

I've had cheaper servos and I've had the best ones money can buy, I've never had one fail. I attribute this to proper setup and checking my EPA's every time I go through my car. At no point should your servo bind. When at rest, in neutral position, there should be no force on them either.

I just realized that the engine is the reedy 121. Correct me if im wrong but isnt the carb held down onto the engine case by 2 screws? If so i dont thing the carb can be turned away from the diff housing.

I think I found your problem. It appears that the radio is upside down....

Losi hasn't updated the genIII tray in well over a year mr xray...

So everyone is telling me the servo I used is cheap skate and is no good but no one is telling me what servo I should use?

First get a radio that has end point adjustments or you will keep blowing through servos. You cannot have the servo stalling and full throttle. It will fry the servo or strip gears in no time. Something like this would do just fine. http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...304SB-Receiver

Then a good digital servo with respectable speed and torque. You dont need to spend loads of money.
This savox would be fine.http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...o-High-Voltage

I prefer futaba servos over savax but they cost more $$

Without end point adjustments you will blow through digital servos.

Buy a hitec 7955 and be done with it.

I have run Savox for a long time with no issues. The only one I killed was totally my fault. I grabbed a 1258 by accident and put it on my truggy for a steering servo. That did not end well....

Losi has never updated the Gen III tray, otherwise it would be a Gen IV. Gen III was released a year and a half ago. 2 revisions from the original to end the destruction of servos.

Looks like Mr. Xray knows what he's talking about.

Umm would something like this work? Because I really don't have that kinda money to buy a 250$ radio and 2 servos 100$ each as I said earlier I'm just a high school kid that doesnt have a real job http://www.hobbypartz.com/79p-gt3b-c...FdOe4Aodxm8AHQ
