Recently got a used Sanwa ERG-VZ as a throttle servo on a mugen mbx6, as i went to tried it the other servo worked fine and this seemed to work fine aswell, but after a couple of finger moves on the throttle or brakes just to check it, it stopped working.
Tried another receiver and another radio, even another battery and nothing works, its just stuck and i cant move the arm when its turned on.
Any help?

Sounds to me like its toast and the potentiometer has probably failed. My guess is it needs a trip in for service.

Thanks for the input Dan, will check it out.

Well, cant seem to find the distributor for Sanwa here in Portugal, unsure what to do now.

Disassemble and clean the pot

Send an email to Sanwa Denshi direct and see if they will help you. They might be able to diagnose the fault based on the symptoms and send you a new part to fit yourself if you are competent in that type of thing. Or they could recommend a place in Europe that would help you out.

It's a shame because Sanwa servos are usually very good. I've never had one fail without having given it serious abuse before hand!

I got it used along with a mugen mbx6, kinda sad as it came with two amazing servos and the sanwa was one of them. Probably faulty due to humidity and such, will ask someone i know help and see if that fixes it.
