When I turn on my t-maxx the servos act like there is a frequency messin with it. The don't go ape but they do move back and forth a little and dont stop. All the servos are havin this problem.

I wanted to see if it was frequency, so I pulled out other crystals and popped those in. Still have this problem. Anyone else had a problem like this? I sure have never seen anything like this unless it was the frequency.
 
Sometimes they will do that if the radio is too close to the receiver.
I guess you know that you need to turn on the radio before you switch on the power in the car.
 
I always turn on reciever before transmitter but I just tryed bringin transmitter further away cause I do normally have it right next to it.
When I pulled it to the next room it stop freakin as much. So I put it across house and now its not movin servos but you can hear they got pressure on em.
I have no clue what is wrong.
 
well...

i have airplanes and when i fly them on a specific feild the servos chatter but they only do it in that feild so try changing feilds
 
What tx/rx set up are you using? I tried the stock hpi AM stuff and around my house and pretty much anywhere the servos go crazy switched to FM it works GREAT hardly any twitching one small one every once in awhile. BUT the AM AE tx/rx works pretty well. I tried 2 different sytems with the hpi stuff same thing. I dont get it...
 
I'm using all stock rx system with recharable batteries. Must be using stock tx but I'm not used to the term tx. Ill check a different asap and get back on results.
 
ya i got it backwards but i have always done that right. Well i just checked it and i pulled out batteries in receiver and put in new ones. I had already tryed this before a couple times but all that sudden it is perfect now. Dont know what was up but its fixed. Very Very Happy Thanks

I know one time I thought something was wrong cause I put in "new batteries" Well i guess i got them mixed up cause i put the old ones back in lol. Changed batteries just to make sure and it was fine.
