I tried running a savox servo with my MMX and it browned out constantly. I replaced it with a hitec and I’ve had zero issues. The savox servo was a 2273sg. My hitec is the $100 one off amain. Can’t remember the model off the top of my head.

That explains why you keep eating servos.
Start with everything off.
To reset your endpoints, you can do this with the car off.
- Place vehicle with wheels off the ground.
- Turn steering wheel full right or clockwise and apply full throttle.
- Turn on the transmitter the red led will flash 5 times release steering wheel and throttle.
- Turn on esc.
- Turn the wheel fully right or clockwise. Now press the - button on the side of the remote until you can see the servo stops before it reaches the limit of the steering.
- Turn the wheel fully left or counter-clockwise. Now press the - button on the side of the remote until you can see the servo stops before it reaches the limit of the steering.
- Turn off the esc.
- Turn off the transmitter.
Your end points should now be properly set. If you want I can make a crappy video showing how to do this.
- Turn the steering wheel fully left or counter-clockwise and apply full throttle.
- Turn on the transmitter the red led will flash 5 times, release steering wheel and throttle.
- Turn off the transmitter.
You can use this same procedure to limit the throttle as well, but instead of turning the steering wheel you use the throttle trigger.
That was how I think my first one died.Or you can do the quick & dirty version - just use the steering DR to dial the steering throw back a bit till the servo does not bind at either left or right lock. This is quick and easy, but has the down side of being easy to accidently undo.
That's good to know. I have the MMX in my savage flux. I bought the truck used and it came with a decent hitec servo (7955TG) in it. After having the 1210 in my outcast, I'd be likely to replace the one in my flux with the same if it died. Although, the 1210 isn't quite as stout as the 2273. So may not matter in my case.I tried running a savox servo with my MMX and it browned out constantly. I replaced it with a hitec and I’ve had zero issues. The savox servo was a 2273sg.

You know... after putting in MMX/2200kv in my savage, I had weird receiver issues. The MMX beeped that it was losing signal. I wonder if it was the BEC not having enough to compensate for the 7955TG and it was dropping the receiver voltage too much. I thought my receiver was dying or something. I replaced the receiver and the issue seemed to go away, I think. The 7955TG is 333oz @6V, which is more than the 2273sg and 1210sg at 6V. Do you recall what hitec servo specifically you changed to?
Similar to mine, but that one is for 6/7.4V. Mine is only for 4.8/6V.
Now that I have the mmx combo now, I’m running 1210 servo 2 fans and esc fan from yeah racing all three fans are plugged into a 3 way into reciever box. I do have b link should I set my to 7.4 also?I run 3 of those servos: Kraton, Typhon and my Savage. I have my Castle Mamba Monster X set to 7.4 in my Typhon. I don't run a cap pac or a bec and mine have been fine. I would contact them for a warranty replacement.
I figured it was garbage when I started... cost me $5 and burnt fingers to either make it work, or not.You are good if you can repair that .IC board etc. You would need a rework soldering station to do it without fail. You obviously have exper. with that. Most only replace the gears and toss them when the board fails. The 1210's run hot and are power hogs for sure. IMO.
In the picture I see several problems there.
