Question on servo's.
In terms of throttle and steering servos, is it okay/safe to run two different brand name servo's for each action?
Bought an XTM XST rtr kit about a year ago. Has siruis servos and the 24.7 engine in it. The steering servo died and I replaced with a "hitec" I believe it was, and have had zero problems. Now couple months later the throttle servo has gone south. Replaced it with a fubata.
What I have noticed: It will make a twitching sound when its sitting on the floor with the reciever on. If I turn the reciever off, it will stop twitching.
I have probably a good 80 ft of range now and the car will loose complete control. Where should I start, or should I go back to the first question?

the two problems are not related.
q1. Yes you can run different brands of servos
q2. try re-binding the tx/rx and make sure that both tx and rx batteries are fully charged. Most of the time the rx batt is the culprit it may show even on a multimeter that it has good voltage buy under load it will go below the threshold to keep a good signal range.
