Steering servo twitch

[Kingie07]

hello all, i have a little problem. when i turn the electronics on it is all ok but as soon as i turn left or right then back to the center the steering twitches when in center but only for about 3 secs then it stops..... i dont know if its the servo or the reciever. the throttle does it aswell but not as bad, I'm replacing that servo anyway so i need to know if its the servo or the receiver. i have also been told it might be the failsafe???

Thanks again all.

Step 5 or 10ft away from the vehicle and see if it stops. After your sure there are no loose metal to metal connection, frays in the wires, low batteries, ect...

my throttle servo does it occasionally but i take the battery out for a couple hours and then it works fine, i dont know why.

AM radio systems are glitchy by nature, especially with low batteries or when the tx is really close to the rx. Running high quality batteries help, but AM is really dated technology. Glitching wasn't so much of a problem when vehicles only went 15-20mph.

forgot to say, its a 2.4ghz Radio Gear. i have used the car like this around the track and its ok but you can tell if u know what i mean.

Ah, sorry about the assumption. I haven't stepped up to 2.4 yet, so wait for some others to chime in.
