HOT SERVOS???

I have a spektrum z270 as my throtle on my jammin x1 that is hovering at 102-110 degrees out of the car is there a short in possibly or is this something i should worry about? Its hooked up by a 6v 1600 mAh NiMh battery pack through the spektrum sr3100. Any answers are welcome please Help
Thanks

I'd say you need a stronger servo for this application. The Z270 only has 49 oz/in of torque @ 6v. I'd use at least the Z590 for throttle and something stronger for steering. Try one of the JR digital servos for steering.

I forgot to mention the Z270 from spektrum is actually a re badged JR servo. The reasons for the heat could be the lack of torque and holding power the 270 lacks in order to work in a 1/8 scale application, also double check the end point settings on the radio. If the servo is trying to pull farther than it needs to.
