I'm not sure if this is a problem or not but when I make a full left or right turn...

at the max steering, the servo has a buzzing noise, i was wondering if its normal or not?

I have the HS-81MG btw.

:confused:

A couple of things come to mind: If you have a car that needs less servo throw than the servo has, (like the micro), and you have not adjusted it out with EPA and/or Dual Rate then this could be the problem. The servo could be straining due to it wanting to turn farther with the cars steering stops holding it back. This can lead to premature servo failure, or in the case of the micro the servo can rip itself loose. If your servo is adjusted to stop at or before the cars steering stops than you might have some other problem with the servo.

None of my servos have ever done this but all i know is that when my servo was shot it did not turn at all except when it was not hooked up to the stearing
