How to: servo swap
This is what i tried for my xmod so i would have the best of both worlds...a evo board, and a gen1 chassis. to do this i had to put a gen1 servo on a evo main board.
first we need to know what to solder to there are 3 solder pads to solder the servo wires to each with their own number, on an evo its (14), (15) and (16) should look like this  now solder each of the gen1 servo wires to the board in this order  on the board  i actualy used longer wires and u should too, but make some sort of marker to remember what wires are which. mine looked like this  if you dont put on new servo motor wires just solder the (blue to black) and (red to white). -/+ then solder the servo motor wires (red and blue) should look like this when done.

no, the evo board is the ep. all you need is the gen1 servo and the evo EP (board)

easier to change something on EVO board.

the reason i switched them is because the evo board can handle more current and amp flow. if it was smoking just re-wire it and make sure the -/+ and the three wires are all on right i have no idea what went wrong with yours but keep trying to fix it.
