Default Savox problem

Hey guys I got a savox sc-0251, was working fine for quite a while, then it became suddenly sluggish, and on the next run it quit entirely. I plug in a freshly charged rx pack, turn radio and everything on, and the servo does nothing. I know everything else works. I took it apart and cannot find any broken solder joints, motor still feels okay, no stripped gears, whats the problem here? Is this fixable?

To be honest here you should consider just buying a new one they are 35 bucks give or take. It would probably cost that much to send it in for repair.

Assuming someone hasn't messed with your radio settings, try another servo if you have one just to make sure it is not a receiver (internal circuitry) issue. If that servo works fine, it is something internally in the servo circuitry. Probably best just to replace it in that case.

I don't think u should, I kno u should, that is a very good servo! HITEC makes one of the best servos ever, and they have amazing CS reps as well
