The radio system is Futaba T7C on Trex 450 SE V2. Brand new everything, only hovered twice. Doing some setup tonight and suddenly my channel 6 servo does not work. While diagnosing I noticed it was hot to the touch, so hot I couldn't keep my finger on it. What would cause this on a brand new everything? And If I replaced the servo will this just happen again? Please assist. Thanks!

PS: Is the S3107 a good choice for cyclic? What servos are you guys using?

Sounds like the servo was in a bind, That will usually cause the motor to heat up.

Thanks for the reply David. Does this mean I need to replace the servo with a new one or is there a way to unstick it?
