I have never had a issue with a servo overheating, I had one that got wet, but deffinetly not a overheat thing, so long as your endpoints are set properly overheating should never be a issue. If they do, I would immagine they would just fry out. Like any electronics that "overheat".I wondered if anyone had ideas of what symptoms an overheating servo would show; would it start to slow down or become erratic etc?
Is that for the throttle only or are you using it for something else?
I see ya, the spring may be putting too much load on it? With such a small servo you think you could go with a small spring? I take it its for a failsafe?
Do you have an extra open channel to install a failsafe? That way you could eliminate the spring.
...Just a thought, instead of closing the throttle, could you set it up to hit the kill switch on the motor instead?

I have 1 inline "Fail safe", 1 built into my receiver and my Hitec throttle servo is programed for full brake, but I wasn't happy with "Just" that. So I ran a Y harness from the inline fail safe to another servo I mounted on the roll bar, in the event of a signal loss the failsafe sends the throttle and the "Rollbar" servos to full brake. The rollbar servo in turn pushes the kill switch on the motor. I didn't know if you knew what I was talking about in my last post, so I thought I would clarify myself.
If nothing else maybe someone else could use the info.
I wish I had pictures of it, but I tore down my truck after I smoked the motor.
Oh well,
Trip..
