hi every one,ive got a new evo 3 comp racerunner and its got 3 rhino servos fitted,i noticed a problem with steering other day and upon stripping to check one of the rhinos had melted on the bottom and looks like something had burnt out inside and melted casing bottom, bougt the car second hand other day and it had hardly been used are these servos warrentied and also who repairs these in out country(uk) thanks for this phil
 
Multiplex has a Good warrenty. 2 yrs i think. not sure who the UK distributor is for them, but Multiplex is NOW owned by Hitec.

im sure they ll get you setup.

as far as radio, do you hve your End Point Adjustments set up properly to stop servo travel beyong the physical limitations of the linkages.
 
thanks

hi and thanks for that yea i do have end points set up but also got 2 proline sevo savers on so shouldnt have done that,at the moment i am only using the one rhino on steering and i can hardly tell and difference only how long my battery is lasting,will it do any harm just using the one till my other is mended? cheers phil

Every so often you will get unlucky with a rhino. They are well known to be sensitive to voltage, and we all know that these large scale packs can be giving out over 8v after a fresh strong charge. The rhinos don't like it. Many recommend putting a regulator on them, and I believe it's a condition of the warranty, but you'll probably be ok. Anyway, to avoid it happening again, use a regulator.

hi

yea the pack had just been charged and it is a 4500mha pack,do u see any reason why i cant use it with just one rhino on steering? ive sorted out who deals in them in this country its modelsport im gona ring tomorrow to see what they say,thanks for all your help and advice
 
good stuff Foxy. i forgot about the higher voltages. no you can use it with just the one rhino, and it should be plenty good for a long time, but again, this one may also burn out if you don't use a regulator to tame down the voltage level.

buy a regulator, install it per directions, and run with just the one rhino. its working Very well in alot of bajas. but a reg is a smart thing with them.

Good call Foxxy.
