Glitch on servos? Suggestions
#1
Hi guys, I'm having a little problem with some glitch in my servos not that bad but is there, mostly the steering. I fixed this problems before in other cars but having a little trouble now. . A new + better battery was installed, kinda minimize the problem but still some in there. What are the reasons to have a glitch in the system(servos)? I'm trying to go over all the suggestions, hopefully somebody will hit the nail. The T/B servo is digital and the steering is Hi TQ non digital. Any suggestion are welcome. Thx.

Try a Novak Stutter Stopper across the BATT terminals of the receiver. I had all sorts of problems with my ESC and brushless motor causing glitching of the steering servo and causing the receiver to failsafe. The car was also sluggish at takeoff, no torque at all. After different receivers and batteries the only fix was a stutter stopper. I made my own for $1.50 with a 1000uF capacitor and a receiver battery lead. Totally fixed all problems including sluggishness. The car took off with such wheelspin I went up 4 teeth on the pinion and it still smokes the tires. The receiver was obviously not getting enough juice at full throttle and capacitor keeps a steady voltage at the BEC.

What radio system? AM,FM, or 2.4ghz?
Brand or radio & servos?
Some radios have different settings for digital & non, & change the way they center.
The "pot" inside of a servo can go bad as well causing centering issues.
Some servos are made poorly & never center well.
I don't blame cheep servos either, though they tend to be more prone to it.
