Servos are going crazy.
My friend's R/C car is starting to go crazy. It will accelerate, turn, and brake out of nowhere. We made sure there wasn’t any type of interference and we also put new batteries in it. He has the Smartech 1/10 Nitro car, if that helps at all. Thanks for the help!

Dirt or Fuel in the Receiver can cause the problem.
A damaged Antenna or Crystal will also cause erratic Radio behavior.
A one up on 'Smartech':
Cheap copies, looks similar to name brand Cars/Trucks, but most parts are not interchangeable.
You get what you pay for.

That smarttech sound pretty dumb. Lets look at the situation. First observe all wires and the reciever harness and observe no damage. Make sure the transmitter antena is properly secure.
Make sure the reciever is not mounted on any thing carbon fiber or graphite. if so triple double side tape it. Move on to observing any metal to metal component that could be causing some freq interference. Lastly make sure your friend isnt just driving it that way.
