i just bought my revo today..to add to my collection.

I charged the battery and put new ones in remote..like always..turned on receiver on truck and everything cool.Turn on remote and the servos jitter,but dont move. I thought something was interferring so i switched out to new crystals and same thing. I walked down to end of block and had someone watch it. Still made that sound but didnt freak out or move at all ,unless i turned wheel or pulled trigger and it acted normal.

I've never had it happen to any of my other vehicles, unless batteries in receiver were dying, but these are fresh.I notice sometimes,on other vehicles, if you turn the trim SLIGHTLY it stops but not here.

Any help ?

If the batteries are good, send the radio and receiver back.

I've had plenty of problems with "new" radios. Almost tore up a scratch-built on the first flight.
Don't take any chances with it.

mine has always made a twitching noise i replaced the battery with a slightly powerful one (for another reason) still makes the noise though does'nt effect antyhing I've just left it.:opps:
 
Try charging the RX pack again. Sometimes the Traxxas charger will indicate it is done charging when it hasn't truly charged the pack all the way. Mine did the exact same thing yours is doing. If you have access to another charger, try charging the RX pack on that one.
 
Mine does that too. I took my to the local hobby shop and they said they get that complant all the time there not sure why but it does not really hurt anything at least i do not think so.
 
Throttle servo problems :(

so i finally broke my tm323 engine in went out today to tune it up and half way through the first tank the car stopped...the throttle servo isn't moving at all...gutted stopped my run very early today and all lhs are closed. this is very early for this servo to go surely anyone had simialr problems few ?s

1. what test can i do on it to know for sure its finished.?
2. is it a decent servo worth replacing or should i get another brand (what brand)?
3. any reasons why you think this may have happened is there any warranty on these parts?
