That sure doesn't sound like Horizon, Have they been serviced once already ?

Cody King and Drew Moller have been running them for a while now. I've never seen them have any sort of servo problems this whole year.

One was brand new, the other was older but never serviced. They claim that the internals were damaged from drawing too much current and that's not their fault. They won't fix them either since they claim that it would cost over $200 to replace the motor, pot and amp/circuit board.

No idea on these servos but I can say that ko has taken care of me when I plugged in an expensive receiver backwards and popped it they replaced the receiver for $19 and that included shipping. So far ko has been great to me and their equipment is top notch.

if i were you i would send them in again, you could of got a jerk for a tech.

I called the support line and they won't do a thing either. Viva Hitec

Frank, I'm sure they are top notch. Did you tell them that you plugged it in backwards?

i did that in feb i got tired of jr's blowing. Ive only had one hitec go since i swapped and it still works just not all the time i think its a solder issue

I agree. Who you talk to can make a huge difference.

Also, If the servo was drawing too many amps, the motor in the servo was at fault, or possibly the circuit board allowing too many amps to the motor. Definitely couldn't have been your fault unless your end points were set wrong. They should replace it. Call again for sure.

It's all Hitec from now on, but those KO's look really nice.

I'm going to send them in one more time.

End points were set-up right, no buzzing when at full lock and no binding in the steering linkages. A Hitec 7950 is doing the job right now with no hiccups.

wow Ive sent in JR servo's that had broken wires, a case that looked like it had been run over by a dump truck and they sent e a newer version for free.along with the last 6 i sent in. Try again !!

My buddy had the same problem with sending in an HV. I've ran em for a wile now but just recently started using them with a lipo and both of em went out in like 2 months. Seems shitty you get worse warranty help for a servo that costs more $.

I had horizon pull that with me too they replaced the servo for menbut with a stern warning that I had damaged it with too much current. I ran it on lipo. Isn't that what they are designed for? I was talking with a local losi team driver and he said the jr's are hit and miss they either work great or are worthless right out of the box. That just sucks for such a pricy servo. They are the best looking servo out there

Yep I told them exactly what I did and that it was my fault and they took care of me for the $19

Every single servo i sent it they said i put to much current thru them and made it osolate(sp?) to far which was bogus because i ran them on nimh(reg 9100t and s) and i always checked my epa. They said that on almost ALL servos i sent in. it was pretty much the same message word for word
