Rather than start a new thread, I thought I'd just revive this one as it has proven to be very helpful.
I have to admit, it's getting a little old. 4 times out since this summer, and 3 times something happened to put my son's 2014 Fury on the shelf. A burnt motor, broken lower chassis and shock mounts and this time the servo has stripped it's gears. I am sure my son is pretty rough on it, and it is taking it's toll now. He has been right here with me as I take it apart and put it back together.
Thank you to Skaxis and the respondents to this thread as it helped me narrow down the issue more quickly. Disassembly only took a few minutes because it was all so fresh in my mind after rebuilding the front end. With a little foresight, maybe I should have replaced the servo then.
I am going to file a claim because I feel if enough claims are filed, maybe they will do the right thing and put a higher quality servo in these cars. I realize it's probably a cost control issue, but I would pay $10 more for something like metal gears in the servo.
At any rate, the good news is nothing else seems to be broken so I went ahead and ordered a ADS-7. Parts will arrive on Thursday and hopefully we can get one more run in before the holiday break is over.
I will put the ADS-5 they will probably send me in my spare parts box in the event there is a problem with my younger son's Fury and I can fix it more quickly.
