Also check that your steering is not binding anywhere causing the additional draw in power and that the end points are set so that you are not binding the servo at the far end of the travel.
Thanks for your help with this one.
Tried 3 new out of the box Hobbyking HK15288A servo's all caused the same issues.
Borrowed a metal gear servo - problem resolved, also pulled an old futuba servo out of my boys car - problem also resolved.

Looks like wont be using the Hobbyking servo's no more

Appreciate your assistance, will also chase up the glitchbuster capacitor
