Strange Servo Problem.

[SSX]

Hi Guys,


I did search the forum but couldn't see my exact problem.



My throttle servo is being a pita! it twitches @ mid to high rpms....it almost went awol but i managed to put my foot out and stop the damn thing ( yes it hurt )

it only ever happens at mid to high rpms so what on earth could be going on?

Is it a cheap servo? Cheap servo's love to twitch.

Is it non waterproof and did you get it wet?

I use this cap and have not had any problems with glitching since I installed it.

thanks for the link but i found the problem.


i took the bottom cover off to look at the board and 2 out of 3 wires had come away from there solder points....the cover was holding them down but at a certain rpm range the vibrations were making them move about, hence the servo flutter i had.

i have had ago at soldering them back on but I'm not winning, solder iron tip is just too big
