is there a thread with more insight into this issue?
I'm having the same problem,I switched my lipo battery and the sevos worked fine. But the batt. I took out was at 6.9 volts so it should have still worked the servo's. there 1257tg's. the funny thing only 1 servo went ass wild. just kept glitching like mad.

Yea I was using two digital ACE servos and only the throttle servo would act up

I tried two battery packs they would always be charged and after about 5 min of playing with the throttle and steering the throttle would go crazy and the bind light on the receiver would start flashing rapidly.

I should probably try with standard servos and see if the same thing happens

It sounds like a high voltage servo issue. I ran into that problem to in the past with certain servos. Like you guys said even if you put a glitch buster doens't take all the glitches out. So I will go back to the analog servos like I have in the past and had good luck with.

yeah I am going to try my sr3000 with two basic servos and see if the issue occurs, what sucks is the receiver is brand new I only used it for a few hours and saw the issue, and then I got out of r/c for a while so now its a discontinued receiver and horizonhobby wants money to possibly fix a new receiver.

The odd part is I have two SR3000 receivers one is like 5 years old and works great the other was like 3 years old and has the issue, it has to be a production defect.

mine 2,only throttle servo. I need to find some good old hitec 645's. they lasted almost 5 years. Then I went to the lipo fad and am having problems. servos burning up/battery shorted out caught on fire inside batt. box. I'm using losi regulators. I will say I like the savox servo's they are fast,but am concerned about durability/costumer service. Well that's not fair it seems they do stand behind there product.

i know on some higher end radios there is a setting for digital to analog. not real sure what to look for, ive never had that problem in a nitro running lipo rx packs, but did have that problem in my 1/10 jammin scrt10, i had to get a CC BEC to adjust the voltage going to servo. savox servos are alittle voltage hungry expecially the 1268 and 1267.

I'll look and see if there is a setting for analog/digital. I don't think so but the transmitter has so many features I havn;t even touched yet.

is it radio based or servo based though?


because don't digital servos naturally drain more power?


also I never had lipo packs I had NiMH in my nitro buggy.

I am still going to try two non digital basic servos

servo based, the savox require a constant higher voltage than most servo in my opinion anyway, what radio are you running? i know certian futaba rx's only reccomend 6.0v, the specktrum will handle up to 9.6v. running a futaba rx that is only rated at 6v will starve a savox servo, and will glitch and act all crazy looking for MORE POWER. on my jammin scrt10 i had to set CC BEC at 6.5v to get the savox servo to work as it should, any lower than that would cut power from receiver and servo.

I was running an Airtronics M8 with spektrum at the time and a SR3000 spektrum receiver, like I mentioned I have 2 of the identical models, one works fine one doesn't so it has to be a production defect, and the glitching starts almost instantly, not even 5 minutes of usage and it starts going crazy on the throttle, I was using ACE servos which are 6v but are digital so they should be very similar to the issues some Savox servos have.

what can someone recommend to me as a non digital servo for a 1/10th tourer for bashing, I won't be racing so I do not need sub .15sec, Savox make anything that fits my needs?
