Are the gears the problem or the electronics inside?

Gears. You can hear it trying to center itself and the gears are all loosey goosey?

Mine was hot enough to blister my finger so I think mine was the electronics but that is just a guess.

Yeah I would hate to buy the replacement gearset and it still not work. The plus side is the gearset is only $30. I think I'm gonna go with the hitecs but buy 1 new gear set to see how it goes. If it goes well then I'll get the other and have some spares.

Yeah thirty bucks isn't too bad some of those gear sets are super expensive.

Because some of us don't want to spend hours screwing with radio settings, and your still drawing power through the rx. This method draws power straight from the battery. Cant fry an Rx this way

Yeah the way the receiver melted I'm going with the bypass. Maybe the servos are pulling some crazy amps trying to move the 8" brp super spikes?? Definitely don't want that to happen again. That was a expensive lesson.

From what I see, only the signal wire goes thru the receiver. The higher current power and negative wire bypass the receiver and go straight to the servo(s) like a relay.??? yes we hate loosing $$$??
