Buzzing servo's

Post by terrythegrey »

Hi
Can anyone help me.
I have a 1/16 Heng Long Tiger tank I recently added a Clark board TK22 and I am using it with a 2.4G FS-CT6B 6CH Radio.
I am using servo's for the recoil and gun elevation but I am getting a buzzing sound off the servo's.
Doses anyone have any ideas how to stop this.
Thanks.

Your servos are at the end of their travel or stuck. Try reversing their direction as it sounds like the servos want to move more in one direction but their is something stopping them.
If it is a recoil action the servo is hooked too it might be trying to push the barrell forward and has run out of travel space. reverseing the direction will allow the servo to self center and move the correct way.
Any obstructions in the way of total movement?
Either that or your servos are no good.
I ran my King tiger through a ditch and hit the barrell pushing the servo back around while powered up, totally pooched it and the humming noise from it was very loud.
