i got a message back from the shop i brought it from, they said to contact savox and if they dont do anything about it they'll offer me a full refund! i sent savox an email but yet to hear back... not a great first impression to savox, i might just stick with the trusty futaba bls 351's!!!!!

ive had the same result with 2 out 3 savox servos i have had. the 3rd one i used twice, once on steering on buggy and once on throttle on truggy (1268), sold it after second use due to having 2 others go bad, well one died completely and other will not find center and is so hard to drive. im sticking with my Futaba S9157 and BLS351 combo. did get Hobbico CS-170 (just rebadge hitec 7955) for the losi, they were cheaper and have Hitec quality and longevity.

I have tried them all, none are perfect, if they made things to last forever, and everybody bought them, then, what good would it be for the business? There will always be something newer and better. The average RC guy stay into the hobby less than one and a half years.

Ok so I have Lipos in my starter box now and would really like to install a low voltage alarm or cut off.
I have searched here and have found a few threads But not really helpfull as most of the replies are "you dont need one".
But I want one just for insurance and would like some idea how its done.
Has anyone here got a pic or guide as to how any info would be much apreciatd.
