RE: Jabo mixing board
aslo make sure the servo wires are the correct way around in the reciever, its unclear from the post if you got them to work

RE: Jabo mixing board
You should confirm this with the manufacturer but if I remember correctly, the manufacturer has stated that the Jabo's servos can be retro-fitted to work as standard servos by replacing the connector. So you should be able to buy any micro Rx as a replacement as long as it's small enough. You will also need to buy a gyro though.

RE: Jabo mixing board
I suspected that many of these fried boards on jabo is caused by quality and workmanship issues.
1) poor soldering work, leaving blobs of solder on the board. Athough many of those components are placed by a pick-and-place machine and the soldering is done by an IR reflow oven, there's still some soldering work needs to be done by hand.
2) poor quality solder iron tip, causing solder splashed around during soldering. One tiny blod of solder could have landed somewhere on a pcb went unnoticed to an assembler and it just stayed there until there's enough shock and vibration (crashes, hard landing, and etc) to cause it to come off a pcb and land it somewhere shorting a pcb.
3) mixed hi and low temp. solders.
