JR XS-3 Problem-Question

[JDJohnny]

I just installed a new XS-3 with servos in my RC10GT. I'll describe the problem the best I can. When I turn the wheels to the right or left and let go of the wheel and let the wheel tension snap it back the throttle servo has a small glitch or wiggle in it, if I don't let go of the wheel and I turn it back to center slowly it doesn't do it, it works ok. When I first installed it I had both sets of servo wires bundled together, so I seperated them and that didn't help, it still did it. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks John

Just a simple idea - is it possible that the force of the wheel snapping back on he controller is causing the throttle trigger to wiggle a lil? Also, it could be jostling the connections inside the TX. I doubt its a rcv problem. Try it and take a look, just a suggestion, but it might help.

I would think that the snap back would be causing the wiggle. There isn't a positive stop there at all.

Found Problem

For some reason the metal geared Z590M servo interfears with the throttle servo. I replaced the steering servo with an antique Futaba nylon geared servo and now the throttle is as still as could be. Hope that was it, going to get a new JR nylon geared steering servo.

By getting a new nylon servo, u are not addressing the problem, just hiding it. If what you say is the case, then that means there is something wrong with the Radio, and you need to get it fixed. First off, metal gears in the steering servo are MANDITORY for racing, and almost manditory for bashing. Second, if it is interfering with your sysytem, whats not to say there may be other glitching problems in the future? Finally, after spending all that money on a new FM radio, don't you want it to work properly?
