Default Throttle / Brake Servo burnt on 1:8 Nitro Buggy

Hi all,
Anyone can help?
My 1:8 Nitro buggy keep burning throttle/Brake servos,
I'm using savox 1256Tg on both throttle and steer, while the steering servo fine.
My Transmitter futaba 4pk and R604Fs receiver,, battery Nimh 6.0V

Question:-
A problem receiver can cause servo burn?
or my brake setting too hard?

Thanks

YK

You should adjust the "end points".....this limits how far the servo arm will travel....if it is trying to travel further than it physically can then it will burn out.

Well it won't make the brakes soft just set them so they are a teeny bit under the max throw of the servo
Some radios have ludicrous range like 140% that go past certain servos limits, and damage em so you have to limit them to go to 100%

One other tip.... Don't hold the brake on for over 10 seconds...
