I just bought a Savage XL a couple weeks ago, love the new truck. But the Last time I had it out it was running fine then I shut it off for about ten mins. When I went to fire it back up it turned the truck on and I had some wicked radio interference. I thought it was just the location so I came home and tried it at home and the same thing. Both servos just go back and forth constantly. Any ideas on whats going on? :(
 
First things to check are (1) make sure you have good batteries. If they're low, it could cause that. (2) check the receiver crystal. Make sure it hasn't slid out of it's socket. If it's well seated, it's possible one of the crystals may have fried. If you happen to have an extra set, or if you have a friend that has a compatible set, try them to see if it makes a difference. If so, your crystals are shot.
 
Its was a bad set of crystals. Tried charging the hump pack in the truck and changing the radio batteries with no change. Then I took it in to the LHS and we tried another set of crystals and it fixed it right up!!
