It is a motor issue as there is no stress on the linkage.

Had another one burn out on me today in my gas mono. Have adjusted the epa to make sure servo is not over stroking.

As for water I can understand if one burns out yet having a total of 6 servos burn out in 3 different boats and have one go down in less than a tank of fuel on a new build. Servos are in a watertight box.

Now I have three boats down waiting on new servos, It is weird to have it happen in three different installs and all around the same time.

Never had the need to use a servo saver on older builds with a standard servo . with a push open and spring closeon the return Rod is attached to the servo and moves a lever to open the carb by pushing on a bellcrank to change directional movement and the torque of the 225 is 1.5x what I had used in other setups.

There must be a reason they are burning out on me.

One caused a dead short after it died ( no power in rx or servos ) untill bad servo was unpluged from the rx and then everything else worked fine.


Just looking for answers to my delema.

Thanks.
