I noticed that my tail servo MKS 8910 is pretty hot sitting on the bench. I am not exactly sure how long I had the system on for because I was going through my heli command setting s but I would guess about 10 mins or so... The servo was pretty warm and the mounting bolts for the servo were even hotter. I am running a Hyperion Life pack straight. I know the stats say 4.8 volts on the MKS but I have always ran the Life packs and never had issues on any of my other servos rated for less than 6. There is no Binding , the pulse is set to 760. Also it has a ever so slightly buzzing sound.. It is not loud and it very faint but wanted to mention it. Also the servo is a little twitchy. I have never owned the MKS brand so I know servos very a little... Can someone chime in ?? I bought a Hercules step-down for this initially but while I was installing it one of the solder joints came loose and I was not doing much to make it do so.. From that point I said no way I am gonna put in a failure point so I ditched it.

Step it down to 5.2v. I spoke with mks about this very issue.

Well I stepped it down and problem solved !!! So to anyone else out there that has this tail servo. Run it at 5.2 or less cause its gonna burn up !!

Would this be for the 8910 or 8910A+ as they are rated differently?

8910 A

Well I found the answer !!! NO do not ever run it on a LIFE or higher than 4.8/5.2. I put a step down on it and got 2 flights out of it and the servo let go. Heli started a piro and the rest you can pretty much guess !!! Sucks !! Guess I did not catch it in time.
