First Thing-
' Just Tried to fire up my 600 for the first time and I could not get it to start " Never started a Nitro before except cars" While I was trying for about a minute I seen smoke coming up from the front of the bird. Throttle servo does not work now, it was at half throttle after I seen the smoke and disconnected the batt, I only had my Throttle open a little bit on the Radio not at half stick. The throttle servo is a Micro HS 82 any reason this could of happened. I have a CSM Gov which is not armed yet but the throttle is still hooked up through it. Everything worked fine before I tried to start it even had my buddy at a LHS check everything after I finished the Build.
Any help would be appreciated, and yes I did try and hook the throttle Servo directly to the RX after this happened.


Arizona regulator- running 5.9 Volts
CSM gov
9254 on tail--401
8717 on cyclic

If you have the governor set for a digital servo when using an HS82, this is exactly what happens - don't ask how I know!

How do you know this?

You need to go through the complete governor setup as you set the type of servo digital/non-digital at this stage, there's no way of checking the settings afterwards. If you follow the quick setup card, it's the step when 3 led's are on, set throttle to low for non-digital servo.
