I tried to modify the servo I got for my beetle weight and the cog snapped :angry: :angry:
Here is the blade for my beetle weighthttp://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...9/d7ee9570.jpg
please dont use that :shock:
Not properly balanced and designed to unscrew, not a good combination.
I have the electronics in place nowhttp://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...9/44740fa4.jpg,
It looks great!
I can't know both my servos blew and my reiciver don't work :angry:Quote:

I can't believe i havent done that yet!
by accident don't do it on purpose
i did not modify the servos properly and they started smoking and they burnt out
i cant deside a name for my beetle weight i fought of battlerage and basherbot and my dad fought of bob! any ideas of what i should call it? :mrgreen:
steve or gerald
hmmm sounds like you put too much voltage through the the servos. Why not just take a photo of how it's connected and let mpeople have a lookQuote:

pugster, cover where the bar is connected and the shaft in araldite to prevent it coming off, also on the thread area so it doesn't un screw.
or just use the sensible, balanced discs that andy offered
the blade is welded on :shock:
anyway, what did you do to the servos again?
good!
i burnt them out because i didnt modify them right :uhoh:Quote:

servos don't tend to smoke becuse of badd modding
i think the reciver might have caused it because it didnt seem to work properly the light didnt come on and it didnt controll properly but when i used my ant weight reciver [wich is the same make reciver]it worked fine. 8)Quote:

Lipos and it blew 3 servosQuote:

dont plug lipos into the rx.
How do you power them then if it's not plugged in to the rxQuote:
