servo issue

[Sodripper]

Hey Guys!! I've got a quick question. My sons rc has a futaba servo on the throttle (not sure of the model # its not here now). It will work fine for about 5 minutes and then it acts up. When you apply the throttle it is very slow and sluggish. when you watch it it moves slow and twitches when it's in motion. Any suggestions?

Does the steering servo work well while the throttle is not? ....prob the servo itself ,check for a split wire insulater and connection at rx before you replace it,also how about the batteries?

Yes the steering servo works fine. Batteries are good.

Could have gotten wet or is just worn out. I've had servos work fine until the warmed up a bit from use, then they would get glitchy.

Considering the cost of a replacement servo, I'd replace it and move on. Just get one as strong or stronger as the one your replacing if your ok with how the current one works.
