I just bought a hitec hs82mg, my lhs was out of hs85mg's and after installing it, I realized that it turns rather well on one side but only turns about the quarter of the way on the other side. this is happening every second or theird time i turn and is very annoying. also the servo gets SUPER hot after only 5 minutes of running. Is there anything i can buy to fix this problem? P.S. i have the 2.4 ghz radio.

ok, i'll try that tommorow, but if that doesn't work, what do you suggest?

forgot to tell you first center the servo, then set the endpoints, also make sure there is no binding on the servo horn with the servo guard, I had to cut my servo guard.

Alright, will do.

I tried centering the servo and adjusting the end points but that didn't work at all. What do you guys suggest I do now other than Bringing it back to the store?

Try opening it up and looking inside.. look for broken gears and chipped gear teeth, maybe something's stuck in there and won't let it turn one way as good... just an idea. :)

Opening the servo didn't help at all. Thanks for the suggestion though. Anything else I should try?
