Newb having problems with servo
 
Hey all, I am brand new to On-Roading and need help!
First my set-up:
Associated TC6.2
Reedy Blackbox 410r ESC w/ESC Fan, HD Ext Cap Pack & Programmer
Reedy Sonic 540 M3 17.5 Spec
Yeah Racing Fan on a RSD Fan mount behind the motor
Reedy 6000 mAh 70c 7.4v
Airtronics MT-4s tx
Airtronics RX-472 rx
Savox SB 2261 MG-low profile (@6v - sp .06 & tq 69.4)

I am using Profile #8 on the Blackbox (Practice Mode w/reverse)
SBEC [email protected]
Motor Can timing @20deg (came out of the box like that)

Now my problem:
After I set up my center on the steering (servo), when I was trying to get the car to track straight, at full throttle the steering seems to have a mind of its own! It will start twitching to either side, that is without touching the steering. I have a 1/8th Vorza 6s w/Castle Cap Pack that is setup for speed runs and have a Savox servo on that with the same rx. I have read and heard that Savox servos are power hungry, so I made sure to set the internal BEC on the Blackbox @6.0v, which is what the specs for the servo say, but this thing is possessed!! :rolleyes:
Should I set the BEC to a higher voltage? or just get a different servo? or am I missing something that's right under my nose?!?!
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!

P.S. - I have pics I can upload of the car if that will help, just need to downsize them, files are to large.

I would double check your toe angles and make sure your steering links are the same length.

:) Thanks 1967Typhoon :nod:
So, I checked my steering links and they were a little bit off. Readjusted them, and set my toe to 2deg front and 3deg back. It seems that it took almost all of the twitching out but there is still a little bit. Is there something else I could look for?

Doesn't the Cap Pack on the Blackbox serve the same purpose? Or is it for something else?

No. pack cap on esc is to Keep voltage from battery supply under High current draws so you dont blow esc up. or make it give you the magic white smoke... Try a GB cap..
