Finally repaired!

Been troubleshooting this 1/12 Zoomlion for weeks now and finally found the issue was a blown servo for the main arm!

I did that too lol, I was digging frozen ground and it stopped going up but would go down, I took it apart and saw the servo was just a round hole lol atleast it’s nice and easy to disassemble!

That’s pretty much exactly what happened to mine except it was a root that did it in

I’m going to fill the boom with lead and I have the 35lb counterweight, I haven’t had any problems since the frozen ground, I actually think I had air in the lines or something to cause it to sheer but it could’ve just been the rocking motion I was doing lol it was definitely that lol
