Typhon Arrma typhon 6s keeps killing servos

So, my buddy's BRAND NEW typhon 6s killed the servo first run. we then upgraded the servo to a Futaba and it killed that too.

First thing I'd check for is binding anywhere in the steering assembly and then make sure that the end points are set correctly.

Did you set the end points on the servo? If not you are just going to continue to kill servos. Also make sure that the servo doesn't touch the chassis.

Gotta set them endpoints good sir!!

All the above posts kinda sums things up. On all points.
Trashed a $Futaba$ servo? That is RC hearesy. How could one let that happen?
Until you figure RC things out better, I would stick with the cheaper $34.00 AMZ servos (DS3235) Makes way more sense.

Okay! Thanks everyone! How do you set endpoints with the stock radio?

It's in the manual. Here's a screen shot if it.

It was an old one that we got for free with a bunch of cars. We got all of the stuff for free.

Look up how to set steering end points with STL3 if that's the one you have. And when setting, watch the servo. As you turn it, if to much travel, you will see the servo itself move. You want to set it so that when you get so it moves, back it off until you see the servo remain still as your full turn. Do on both sides and you will get life out of your servo. Also I use Eco power T120 in all my 6s's and 3s's. It says 1/10 when reading description, but on the case says 1/10 and 1/8. Great inexpensive servo. And not that it matters but waterproof to 3 meters. Digital, metal geared servo.

if you do not get the servo saver working properly you will destroy every servo on the market
