e-E-Flite Blade MSR CP CX MCX 400-3D > Blade 400 3D HELP! Servo Problem I cant solve..

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		I am a beginner but got to the point where I had flown my blade about 20-30 times without a crash. Slapped on some carbon blades was amazed at my confidence and ability.

Then I had a glitch and saw the Blade head strait to the ground and my $40 carbon blades are no more.

I thought it was a radio glitch, but I noticed now that the 'left' servo is almost dead. When I move the stick to the right or left, its almost lifeless (it sometimes jolts in the direction i want it to). The servos are not stripped or anything like that.

So, is the servo dead or is it a receiver problem?

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		yes, the servo's dead because they suck. (just telling the truth)

a lot of servo's people use now in their stuf are the hitec hs65mg's. they have lasted me 2 years of hard flying, and should be flawless with anyone.
i dont have my blade any more, but they rocked!

Its not a crash, its an upgrade opportunity!

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Sorry to hear about your unfortunate experience. I also learned that hard lesson with my blade 400. Your servo is dead. Do not, I repeat, do not waste your money by replacing it with eflite servos. Spend the extra money and get yourself some hitec (or your favorite brand name) servos. I learned my lesson twice, because after my first servo failure I replaced them with eflite servos, later on I experienced my second servo failure.

Spend your money on some quality servos and save money in the future by preventing servo failure and crashing your baby!
