Nitro rustler Traxxas servo's

[funwheels1]

Hey,
I have a brand new traxxas nitro rustler about a week old now. Anyways, i was driving it in some damp grass and the radio is making a constant buzzing noise. Is it possible i got some water in there? I am going to let it dry out and try some new batteries and hopefully it will fix it.

Thanks,
Drew

I had a problem with my steering servo getting wet on my rusty. Replaced it twice. Can you pin-point where the noise is comming from?

 

[funwheels1]

the sound is coming out of the right side steering servo. Its like a glitchy sound. When i turn all the way to the right the tires are like stuttering. Its definatly coming from the steering servo

There you go, sometimes you can get them to dry out and work proporly again but you may need to get a new one.

If you do get a new one, I suggest you plati-dip them.

I left my car over a heater vent all night and it is working fine now. The buzz is minimal and only comes on when you turn left. I think i will definatly plasti dip the new ones. There is like no protection on that steering servo. Thanks for all the feedback my rustler is rippin now!

Yeah the stock one is "noisy". Not the best in the world.
