Default A little advice please

I've got a radio issue. The radio is an Airtronics 2.4ghz mx-3 fhss; the original version - not fhss-2. This just started; when I turn the steering full lock to the right the throttle servo starts twitching enough to open the carb slide slightly. Turned full lock to the left is no problem, throttle servo stays dead still.

I've tried different servos, etc. - all behaved the same. Then I plugged my two servos into a different radio and receiver combo and they worked perfectly.

So, here are my questions. Has anybody seen this kind of thing before? Is it the transmitter or receiver? Is it worth trying to get the radio fixed? A new one would be about $150. Thanks.

Try putting a little bit of distance between you and the vehicle. Signal is so strong that it is making it do that. I hope this helps.

Sounds like you may be binding the servo at full right, but not left. Is the steering bottoming out at full right?
