Default Strange problem with eletronics?

Hey! I am running an AE Rc8be with a mamba monster v3 esc, neu 1515 1.5d/f motor, and i recently installed a hitech 7950 servo in my car. I use a Spectrum dx3s as transmitter. The problem occours when i turn/steer my car reapetedly and fast to rigt and left or left and right and it causes the motor to run. So if i keep my finger away from the trigger on the radio and turn the steering back and forth, my car start to drive forward. This happens whem i drive the car at higher speeds aswell...

I think its alittle awkward.

thanks for looking!

Considering all the reports of glitching with power hungry digital servos on Castle ESC's and the fact that the problem appeared with the installation of a new digital servo I would start looking as that as your cause.

The two most common solutions are to use a glitch buster (Capacitor plugged into the Rx across the + and - pins) or to use an external BEC.

If you're servo can handle it, many people have also reported success providing the servo power directly from the battery.

You could also change the servo, the Hitec 985mg is often said to work well in Castle ESC's but only use it if it's powerful enough for your application.

Another solution I've only seen mentioned once or twice is to turn the BEC up on the MM. I believe it's only 5.5V stock, if you push it up to 6V maybe that will help you out

Keep in mind most often the problems are reported with the MMP and not the MM although some people claim it affects both ESC's. As I said before this is my instinctive answer because you said the problem occured after putting in your new servo.

I hope this helps in some way, good luck.
