It even started making the motor not want to run (it would cog) and the 2.4 receiver would flash red like the signal was lost. I replaced the servo and the receiver acts fine now, new servo works fine, but motor doesn't seem to have much power now though. Anyone know if the motor issue was caused by the servo, and what went wrong with servo? Was it something I did?
