Team Orion Vortex Digital Servo 1007
Ok so I purchased one of these guys about 6 months ago and was very happy with it till about a week ago. I just recently started to glitch the whole system when i turn. So i called Team Orion(Kyosho USA) and they told me to call Horizon Hobbies. Horizon told me they cant do anything about it if the hobby shop bought it before August. So my ? is what do I do now? Is it junk? Can it be rebuilt? Thanks.

it sounds like you have a problem with the your radio or your resevier ,not the servo.

Hope that helps, and best of luck finding the root cause of the problem.

Thanks for the replys! It is an a ta05 so i should'nt have any problems with fuel or dirt. I did open it up but did'nt see much though it would be a good idea to check it out again.
Also I did try other servos in the car(ta05) and no problems at all. I put the vortex servo in my blitz w/ a different radio and still had the glitch. So that would lead me to belive that it is the servo right?
How would one go about rebuilding a servo if it did need it?
Thanks for all the help guys. Iam kind of a noob at r/c and had a long break from the hobby. So thanks again!

yea if you run the servo on a 1/8 buggy ,yea you want to put as much padding as you can in the battery box and reseverier box.
that should help a lot with the gitching and vibration.

Hmmm... Servo rebuilds aren't the kind of thing I could describe quickly in a forum post. Based on what you've already done to troubleshoot the problem, I'd say the servo is the culprit. Since it doesn't appear to be an issue with the servo's drivetrain, I'd take the unit completely apart (carefully noting where each piece is installed) and check for anything that might be causing a short circuit across the circuit board. Look for any loose transistors or physical damage to the circuit board, as damage in either of these areas could cause issues. If you're handy with a soldering iron, try replacing the servo lead, as it could be a broken wire causing trouble.

the orion vortez servos are good, i use one for my 1/8 buggy for the steering.

So I took the servo apart and the board and all the connections on the board look great. I also checked the continuity in the wires and all seamed good. This would lead me to believe that it is a resistor or some other little component in the servo. That sounds like it is probably gonna be more trouble than it is worth. So i guess I am gonna be on the market for a new servo...

try running a aftermarket cap that plugs into your receiver and tell me how that works, i think novak still makes them, you may have to build a plug for it but thats not to hard.
i have had servos act weird, plug a extra cap in on them, and they work great again.

You think that servo can manage the steering for 1/8 on road?
