Is my receiver bad?

[RyanRNewberg]

So my steering went out about a week ago, I got a new battery, and it would hardly move for about 5 seconds then go out on me. Yesterday I got a new Ace r/c hi-torque servo and its doing the exact same thing. My throttle servo is working fine though, could this be caused by my receiver? I've already gone through and checked my crystals and wiring and everything is good. Thanks for the help guys.

Sounds like the receiver is the only thing left that could cause your problem.

try pluging the steering servo into the throtle spot to see if you get any reaction... could be you have a bad port on your reciever

Yeah, I tried that too and if I change any plugs around all my servos start twitching and not responding. I'm going to order a new receiver right now and hope that's what it is. Thanks guys.

did you change your batteries
?

Yeah I got a brand new hpi 6v 3000mah battery fully charged, my receiver's working now even though I didnt do anything else. Haha. But have one coming in the mail anyway, so I'll just throw it in my toolbox and if it acts up again I'll swap it out.
