servos dont respond

[dannyb111]

so yesterday i fixed a connection problem i had with my wires and all the servos were working. I've started running the car today and all of the sudden my servos stopped responding. they worked fine yesterday, and for a little while today. what is wrong? please help

try disconnecting them, turn on the batteries to the rc and reconnecting them again. I'm having that same problem with my throttlr servo but it only responds if i move it by hand

Are you using the 4 aa holder? Make sure it isn't cracked anywhere and that the terminals are in good shape. Are your crystals good and tight? Other than that, it has to be a bad connection between the battery and the receiver. What connection did you fix and how did you fix it? Did you observe any frayed or broken insulation on any of the wires?

i dont know what to do. a wire became broken and i soldered them back together. i am really sure i have power going to all of the servos considering they sometimes work.
and metalhead matt what did you mean by crystals?

Crystals set your frequency. Your controller and receiver each have one. Underneath the rectangular, colored taps with numbers on them. They just push into their respective slots. They can come loose, especially on the receiver.
