Can you go into a little more detail? What do you mean it turns weird? Have you tried other servos or other receivers?

you may have stripped a gear on your steering servo. turn the wheels slowly by hand and see if you feel a rough spot, or a spot where it skips a tooth.

I am having the same problem with my Micro RX, I did all the setup binding and the servo just start to glitch when I turn left to right, so I send it back the Spektrum and they took over 1 month to return the RX, the excuse was the boat from China was lost or something, after getting my RX back I did all the binding and the same problem so I sent it back with the module, it is now going two weeks and they have not sent it back, I call about three times and this is what they said it as been log in and they have not get to it yet, I will just wait for another two weeks and see what happen, and yes I did change three different servo and different cars different radio and the same problem.

Same thing is happening to my friends DX2.0 too. Just got it last night and the servo is twitchy. Is there any way to fix it? I wanted the DX2.0 untill this happened to him.

We just turned it on and hooked up the servo and it was twitchy. Seems like it turns one way ok...then it twitches the other way. Do we need to reset the reciever to the controller

Make sure all the adjustments to the radio are in the neutral position (no out of the ordinary settiings for steering or throttle) reset speed control when it is disconnected from receiver and motor if possible. Then re-bind receiver to radio. Give tis a try, it worked for me.

run a cap part # spm 1600 its 6 bucks .and also is the radio close to the car when the servo is twicthing if so stand back and try it. using a high speed high power servo will draw more power. try the cap and go from there

What servos are you using that you are having issues with? Also what ESC? With a little info you might be able to get the problem solved.

I'm using the spektrum(JR) metal gear high torque servo. My esc is a Duratrax auto-sport forward only with a Trinity monster stock pro. I hooked up the whole car with my old controller(with the new servo) and everything worked perfectly. I re-binded the reciever and controller a couple of times and it didnt do anything. I am going to bring it to my local hobby shop now...and hopefully get it fixed or get a new one.

Took the controler back and and got a new one. They said they have never seen this before. i could just tap the steering wheel and the wheels would move.
