The servo I have is the HSC-5996tg, I use it for the throttle/break for my buggy. It only does this when the servo gets hot for for some reason. The Rx/Tx is the Dxr3. My battery is a 6.0 volt 1600maH.

Any voltage regulators being used on the battery? How hot is the servo getting?

This is the servo I’m using which is being used for the throttle/brake. I’ve used it for about a couple months now and it recently started to twitch sporadically. I know it’s the servo, I’ve tested my Rx and battery. Anyway, it seems to do this usually after one or two tanks through which makes me think it’s the heat from the engine(temps for this servo were about 100 degrees) I’ve taken the whole radio/servo tray out to try to isolate the problem even more. Even tried to heat the servo again, however when doing it this way, the servo works fine. This is just annoying me and causing me a head ach.
What could be the problem?

ps, I don't use a regulator but I do have one.

send it into hitec they will fix it a+++++++ for hitec i might have problems with there servos but they always fix em

If the servo does not act up when it is outside of the vehicle, that points to a couple of things. Either it is heat related from an outside source (engine) or the more likely cause would be from the end points or linkage not being set properly which is putting more of a load on the servo and causing it to act up once it causes the circuit to heat up. Thrpple check those end points and the linkage. Also are you using an ABS brake function in the radio?
