I turned on the electronics, and went to full throttle with the engine turned off. The servo could open the carb and keep it open as long as I wanted. The failsafe didn't engage.

Could this be because my servo becomes tired after some time, then when I go to full throttle it gives up (disconnects for a bit), the failsafe engages and thinks the car is out of battery power?
