Hi all. I need your wisdom once agian!!!
Ater filling the tank from one round of bashing, the throttle servo went to wide open, sat there and "twicked". I did go through some puddles so I'm not sure if that's what caused it.
I oped up the servo to let it dry (if it did get a small amount of water in it). When I plugged it back into the receiver it goes all the way to one side and twitches, with no response from the Tx'er. I'm using a Spektrum 3.0 and the servo is a Z270. I tried plugging it into the stering spot with no luck.
Is the servo shot? I've never encountered this problem before.
Thanks in advance.

Have you ruled out low or dead batteries? If so then I would say it is toast.

Happens all the time on my planes when I use cheap servo's. If you remove the gears from the servo and plug it in, and the motor just spins.. it's shot.

Yeah, when I take the gears out, the motor spins... having no luck with Spektrum. I've had it long enough for the break in and 2 tanks of fuel, and I have very limitted range when I use it for my boat... Should have stuck with Futaba.
Thanks for the help guys.
