I got revo 2.5 but got upgrade 3.3 in it. When I turn the truck on an radio on the gas trigger an the steering is controlling the same servo an it seems like that servo is twitching anyone know whats going on
 
Are you saying that the gas trigger on your transmitter is controlling both the throttle and steering servo? Also, when the servos are twitching, does it do this for long or just as you start it up? I know my 3.3 twitch just a little upon start but once thats done its all good.

there are two steering channels be sure u hace the servo leads in the right place I always plug my servos in and turn on my radio and car and tesf the b4 I close everthing back up bc I hate doing tjings more than once for the same issue
 
Ok i found out it was the battery wasn't giving enough juice. I got a new battery an the steering servos are good. But the throttle servo seems like there's a lot of tension on it. Its hard to even move it with my hand should this be like this?

If some pictures would help let me know ill take a few of what i,m talking about when i get home.

Thanks
 
Does the linkage have a throttle return spring on it. And if the battery is on it should be very had to move by hand and will be pretty easy to move with it off.

Yes it does have a spring on it. An I do got everything all of them hooked up right.
But its very hard to move with everything off
 
unhook the spring and then you can move it but be sure and hook it back up bc thats like a failsafe if you lose power to the truck or something interferes with the radio . With the spring hooked up depending on how tight it is the servo will glitch slightly to keep in the position your holding it at via the radio

That spring protects from run-aways which generally cause alot of damage unless you get lucky
 
Should this part of the linkage swivel or move?
