Oh my servo??

[Armar5t]

My truck finally came in. I installed the kill switch. Went to bind my dx5c with brakes on for failsafe. Once the bind was complete the brakes applied and the servo stripped. I am so disappointed.

Took 2 months to save the money then had to find one because they were on back order. Bought it received it and can't use it. What a crap shoot day. Guess I will be calling losi first thing in the morning.

If this is the way this truck is going to be it might be up for sale soon.

Don't give up that easy, or you'll be depressed you got rid of it. Welcome to large scale RC living.

stock servos r ? PERIOD ?....sum last years..?.sum last seconds ☹.....as u have found out?.....don't let this put u off the hobby ?

You’ll get a new one under warranty ??‍ Not a big deal
Personally I would do the claim for a new one and upgrade the servo to a Hitec ??

keep the refurb servo as a good spare ?

 

[evssv]

agree^^^?

Sorry to hear that. Next time set the endpoints before setting the brake failsafe.

I'm not giving up. I waited too long for this truck. I planned on replacing them just not the day I received it. Lol

Is there somewhere that the end points are listed? I did the steering once it was bound.

 

[crucialRC]

I don't know anything about Spektrum. Should be on the radio somewhere. Someone here may be able to help ya. I'm a Futaba and Sanwa user.

 

[DougStar]

It will be in the trim section on your radio??

I just got two from horizon coming Tommow on warranty. They'll take care of you.

Bro there's a good video on YouTube. Its under your travel. I have the same dx5c.

Watch where your servo moves and watch the linkage. Adjust your travel to where the servo moves the same amount as the linkage does. No farther.

I have mine at 85% I believe

Sorry about the bad luck streak.
I think you have to bond with the truck and treat it like your girl,then maybe you'll get some action.... or at least a quickie around the parking lot.????

Another rebranded savox lost to the anals of history. Im so glad you told me about that Sean.?????‍

 

[Jshaff16]

Yep

My local hobby shop is the best. The owner of the shop is going to pull his servo out his 5t so i can put it in mine and run my truck, while he works with horizon hobby to get me a replacement. They are always willing to go the extra step to make the customer happy.

Not necessarily for the throttle/brake. You have to check the throttle hammer at the carb and when doing the brakes, put the truck on the ground and drag it while applying breaks to give you a round about of what she needs then fine tune from there while running. My futaba and Sanwa have the brakes at like 40% or so. I know it's a different radio and my setup is different but to just watch the linkage, you could still be over extending the servo.

Everyone has their own techniques I guess
