well the reason i asked what kind of Truggy it was is because, some truggy were known to burn servos, thottle servos to be exact. and some truggies have weak Servo saver on them and may cause the servo to Fry or strip. that's why I asked. with Hellfire, not sure co have not ran or known anyone with it.

and if your servo is like around $20 price range, most oftem, they can not take the abuse of hard driving in a track or even bashing in rough terrain. I have stripped and fried alot of lower cost servos($30 to $50 price range) when i was just starting or bashing around. In servo's you can safely say "you get what you pay for". Just my .2!

try smelling your servo when you plug it on or when the receiver is turned on, if something smells buring, turn it off. also, try turning the servos to feel any stripped teeth.

hope this helped.
