Zero out your trim. Set your epa to 100. Try another servo.

could have got water in it?
I washed my buggy before and got some in it and it acted like that. I took the bottom cover off and it has some moisture in it. so blew it out with compressed air and it works fine now. I sealed it up with some sealant this time. and around the wires.

i generally clean it with baby wipes, but maybe, i do keep it outside but it's not been cold, quite the opposite, which cover are we talking about? the servo?
