Hello! I'm a very beginner and would like to ask for help with RC cars. I have a problem that if I disconnect the servo from the controller, the direction change also gives power to the motor. If it is connected to it, the motor and the servo work at the same time when steering. Can anyone help me with what the problem could be? Thanks in advance!
 
Welcome to RCT
It would help if you could tell us which model or radio you have, but if you are using separate channels (1-steering, 2-throttle) on the receiver in the car, and both are responding to the steering wheel, the only way to isolate it is to try a different receiver.
 
Nekem ezek vannak, de sajnos nem tudom, hogyan kell őket rendesen beállítani.

If I have this correctly, you need to start here and bind your radio to your transmitter.
Hotrc calls it code matching if I understand correctly. The english is not great but maybe with radio in hand, you'll figure it out.
This vid is for their 8chn radio but vid says all Hotrc radios work the same way.

 
From what I can see, your servo cable is in the esc spot on the receiver, and your esc is in the steering spot. Swap those two cables, and recalibrate. Try that!
I reversed the cables, but it still won't work. In this state, it doesn't do anything when you accelerate, but the motor and servo work just fine when you steer.

Have you watched that video I posted and tried what it says?

Binding may fix your issue, it may not. Start here.

You may have a setting on that radio to blend/mix channel 1 and channel 2. I would look for that too.
I tried what you saw in the video, I tried to re-tune it several times, but unfortunately it doesn't work either.
