Hitec has great customer service send it back bet you get a new one within a week.

I had 2 Hitecs melt at a race up North. It ended up being my rx. not sure why it amplified the voltage. I lost my first 2 qualifiers to melted servos and changed the rx out for the heck of it. I found later I killed another servo in that rx. it was fine in electric rc's but when you plugged a nitro rx battery in, it melted the steering servos... odd


Hitec rep was there at the race and they replaced the servos for me. I bought the one at the race too and had to send them both in. ended up robbing a third servo from another rc... raced a truggy with a hitec 625... all I had left and it made it to the end of the weekend


for the record it was one of the blue airtronics fm rx's that did this

If you have a anolog servo on your throttle and your radio set to hi response or all digital signal wierd things can happen to the magic smoke.

I just started a thread here with a lot of info that people have been adding about 1/4 scale servos. Take a look

I just had that issue with a 5745MG with my dx3 and sent it in. They replaced it.
