Should be, if you have electrical contact cleaner you can flood it out with that and then air dry. Some people suggest using dielectric grease but I'd be careful about that. Packing it with grease will increase the servo load and shorten battery life.

I too would be interested in your carb settings. You should be able to count the turns as you go in. I'm suspicious that your low is not further out then your high, doesn't make much since.

ORIGINAL: Dockman

Ok 2 servo's survived and 1 did not. Do I have to replace the bad servo with the exact samething or can it be any servo? All my stuff is stock Pro boat servo's and reciever. It's not the reciever I tried both servo's on both sides of the steering and the 1 servo does not work.
WD-40 works great for reviving wt servos take off the bottom cover and shoot it in till it fills up then shake it out and repeat a couple times and try it again.
I you need to get a new one it will have to be an exact match because they are linked together. If not they will fight each other and kill themselves and the battery.

i'm not positive but i think the stock servos are a little smaller than average servos.

They are JR standard size servos. Two Z590M's linked together for steering and Z270 for the throttle.

Found some new servo's at a hobby shop about 55 miles away, so I bought the whole set.
