Ok... Installed a new steering servo (Savox 1256) into my rc8b along with a new sr300 receiver and bound to a dx3s. Well all seemed well with testing off the box but when I got on the track I was intermittently losing control of both steering and throttle... I just went out and bought a new switch and 5 cell flat pack (to replace the 4 AAs pack - I thought this might be the issue??). Installed the new switch and pack and seemed to be getting the same problems.... I was testing with the car less than a foot away from the transmitter.. Any thoughts???

If you haven't already, re bind the radio and receiver. Also check that the servo connects are not shorting against any receiver pins. I had a similar issue with a ko radio and had to re calibrate radio but try binding again

thanks. Ill try rebinding. Everything is squashed in really tight within my battery box. Could this cause problems?

Use a receiver cap

havent had very good luck with the sr300 its a dsm1, replaced mine with a sr3100 (dsm2) and added a cap problem solved. i found out the savox is a very power hungry servo.
