Default servo problem

for as long as i've been into nitro and rc (couple months), i sure have had a lot of problems. anyways, here it is.. i broke my throttle servo case and got a new one. i assembled it in the new case. when i plug it into the receiver while the other servo is plugged in also, they both twitch constantly. if i just plug one servo in, it is fine. and it works fine if i plug in the throttle to the steering or the steering into the throttle. so basically, both servos work fine, but together, they now twitch. any ideas?

What servos are you using?

What radio gear do you have ?

If you damaged the servo case it's possible that you may have damaged the circuits in it.

Or you may have damged the receiver.

Try using another servo and see if that works.

If not try another receiver.

but isnt it a bit odd that they only twitch when they are both plugged in? alone, both servos work perfectly.. maybe it is the receiver. damn. i wanted to run it tomarrow.

it was the batteries. tried new ones and everythings fine. i guess the ones i had in it only had the power to run one servo at a time.

Glad you found the problem

The batteries just skipped my mind

Try to get a rechargable pack if you can

It will save you alot of money in the long run

Disposable alkalines are probably good for 20-30 minutes of TOTAL ontime with your radio in your Car. The transmitter should last a little longer. Rechargables (1100mah) could provide a little more time and save you money in the long run.
