did you get it wet?

maybe your wire has been cut/damaged?

Its probably not your receiver. does the other servo work fine and strong? its probably not he battery.

Did the servo take a hard impact? or did it ust start happening one day?

what kind of servo is it? is it a cheap junk one?

weak batteries would certainly cause this...

radio or car

I know this might seem rude but

do you have your crystals in it? are they the same?



ive noticed that if i just leave my car on and not my radio my cell phone can make the servos twitch

your servo is dead. keep it for spares (gearing) if it's a decent servo.

if it's still in warrenty then get it sent away and fixed.

i had a brand new hitec 85MG do this to me after 2 hours flight time with no hard impact what so ever.

well its a dx3r=no crystals
and it did not get wet
ill plug another servo in and see if it does it
battery shows 7.0 volts

7 volts is too low. I assume youre using eight AA batteries which should be about 11-12 volts at a full charge.

I am betting that this "other servo" works fine.

What kind of servo are you having problems with?

he said he is using dx3r it runs on less voltage its a feature of the radio thats not the problem

oh ok.

I have a dx3 and full batteries show 11.5v, then it dies at 7.0v... kinda weird.

is that your servo?

I had one like that and it did the same thing, no offense but its a junk servo, yours is prob fried... but thats fine, its only a 10$ servo.

I would invest about 60$ and get a decent throttle servo. not something too strong but that has a fast reaction time. I usually go for the ones that have "300" oz of torque for steering, but those are about 110$.
