really? someone gave my original post in this thread a thumbs down and both the wiring and the low voltage RX pack that I mention seemed to be the issue... O_o
 
haha ahhhhhh the joys of the internet. thanks for the help and suggestions

so, i did some more tinkering and just general double checking of connections, and while i do feel that one steering servo is not 100% and will be replacing both of them anyways, i think a few bad connections and lowish voltage in my receiver pack amplified the issue greatly. i did some more testing and have only been taking it to places where there is no one around to possibly be injured if this thing goes nuts again, but it is working now. its a blast and I'm back to tuning again so when the new servos come in it should be in great shape. i do love the sound and smell of nitro much more than i ever enjoyed electric.

thanks, I'm definitely not regretting picking up these trucks. its nice to have something i can go do with my 5 year old since its not the best idea to have him running around the practice track un-attended while i ride my bike lol. i got this aftershock in a lot with an HPI hellfire, a schumacher riot, a wind hobby 1/16 scale and an old tamiya mighty bull after i hatched the speed controller in my rustler. fixed up the tamiya and its the perfect starter truck for my son. eventually ill put the motor from my rustler in the tamiya for him to kick it up a bit while i upgrade the rustler to brushless. should keep us busy for a while.
