Bad day to be a servo
#1
i got an 8ight RTR, and today my steering servo basically exploded, and i don't know where to send it to get a new one, and i don't don't know what kind of servo i can get for like $40-50 that will last longer than this one, this one lasted only 4 weeks. I think this happened at the beggining of the practice day today at around 11:15, and i didn't want to stop after 5 minutes, so i taped it and it lasted until 2 and now it is basically toast.

Send it to horizon, if they don't fix it get a JR z650m. Use the rubber grommets they give you!

use the rubber grommets with the JR z650m or with the stock ones? the stock ones didn't have grommets....
i found another thing, the RTR only has 2 out of the 4 clutch shoes, which kinda sucks

I'm guessing that that is why King Headz has the radio tray brace that several people said wasn't needed.....

the brace was for the throttle servo problem really wont matter for the steering one

Just fill out the form and send it in with a copy of the reciept and the'll fix it for free. Horizion has great C.S. and have fixed every thing i sent in. That looks like a defect to me. Just leave some contact info incase they need to get ahold of you.

You didnt smash that with a hammer???

Call Horizon hobbies, and ask for the Losi division. Explain to them what happened. I had problems with the original LST, and they were VERY helpfull with replacing bad parts. (3 Stub axles, Center outdrive shaft, 2 sets of suspension arms, and they were also quick to replace a LOT of the Mach .26's that came in the original truck due to the washer in the engines exploding.)
