savox servo problems
 
I'm running a savox servo in my tc6:
when I plug in the servo and turn on the car, I get this buzzing noise.
It was suggested that it might be b/c the servo is drawing too much power
from my flysky receiver? However, I added a capacitor and that still doesn't seem to help.

Can someone please tell me what else i should take into consideration?

thanks

Savox servos are known to be loud, I havent seen one or heard of one that hasn't. 99% likely nothing to worry about.

^This.

Savox servos buzz when idle. Threw me for a loop the first time I heard it on someone else's truck. Then when I upgraded to one it did the same thing.

I jut upgraded to these servos and they are noisy. I found that if I changed to limits on my remote to how far they went they got a lot less noisy. It seems that the noise comes from them not being in a true neutral/center position and it's the digital contacts makes the noise, kinda like and electric car when you barely pull the throttle. Either way noisy or not these have turned out to be awesome servos in my 1/8 buggy. Strong and fast no issues as of yet
