hey guys, i just picked up a jr ds8417 servo and as soon as i switch on my esc it makes a constant buzzing sound. any ideas on what it is?

It sounds like something is binding and not letting the servo center completely. Mabee the servo arm is hitting something or a linkage further down the line is binding. Check that 1st.

Digital servos do buzz.....it's a norm.

at first i thought something was binding, but it still did it when i took the linkage off. just as long as everythings okay then, thanks for the help!

My digital servo only buzzed with my old radio which was a AM radio. Since switching to to PCM with the Futaba 3PK I haven't heard anything from the servo other than the arm moving.

It could be the servo trying to center its self, if you try to forcefully turn the wheels, it will buzz.

Digital servos will buzz. They're constantly trying to center themselves perfectly so the slightest force on them when the car is on will cause them to buzz.
