Default I'm having some electronics problems.

I am having some problems in my stadium truck. At a random time I will lose control of everything and it will have to be turned off and back on. The problems all started when I swapped out servos with a ko-propo servo that I bought off of a member here. When I first hooked it up it would pause occasionally when turning the wheels back and forth. I swapped the servo with another one and the problem continued.

My setup.

Castle Creations Mamba Max Pro
Castle Creations 5700 motor
Spektrum SR300 receiver
AMB transponder
ko-propo 2367 servo
Spektrum DX3R radio

I tried swapping out the receiver with a SR3000, didn't fix the problem. I tried swapping out the Mamba Max Pro with a Sidewinder, didn't fix the problem. I tried unhooking the transponder, did not fix the problem. I tried another servo, didn't fix the problem. I rebinded several times, I reset everything on the radio, didn't fix the problem. I even tried a capacitor on the receiver, no luck.

Eventually I swapped out the receiver with yet another SR3000, swapped the MMP with the sidewinder, and put in a yet another servo and it finally operated properly.

The only thing that I can come up with is that the ko-propo servo is actually damaging receivers. Is that possible?
