Used to be a normal thing to do....

Installed the brand new engine and took out for break in. On the second tank the car wasn't responding and it was idling up and down so I got scared and hit the kill switch. Car turns off and walk over and saw smoke coming out of the receiver box. Took it home and found out the kraken throttle servo died.

[BBoyz]

That’s an evil vekta! It hasn’t been nice to you from the beginning.

Absolutely done with this car.

What servos and battery are you using? Are you using a voltage regulator?

Stock throttle servo and this battery.

That's why these hilly servos are choice, they shut down
Man that sucks so bad..back fed and smoked everything ☹
Inline fuse kit would have saved everything like I have installed

The receiver and Killswitch still works. The battery and servo are done.
