need help..servo glitching

[dxb baja]

hi as you know i got my baja 5b for xmas but this afternoon when i went to run it the throttle servo on the car started to flicker like mad, every time i put a little bit of throttle on the controler.

i thought it could be that the reciver battery is not charged.

thx

It could be that,how was the steering did the truck get wet at all,where did this happen any power lines or other things that can cause a glitch...batterys in the tranmitter could be a number of things..is the crystal all the way in the reciever..

[dxb baja]

steering was excellent, baja did not get wet, it happened after i went to a gravel pit, batterys in transmitter are full.

[fastflee]

smell the servo..does it smell bunt..did or is it getting bound up...check all the wires also check the transmitter switch and make sure if all the switches to change servo directions are all the way to one side not just half way...other than that you need a better transmitter and reciever anyhow..the stock stuff suxxxxx sorry:(

[dxb baja]

also when i tap the brake with my finger the throttle almost goes full

[JIMBO]

I agree with fastflee, the stock stuff is not that good, it just happen to me recently , the steering servo when on the frits on my SS just like that.
Now I go with HITEC servos..

[dxb baja]

and also will the hitec servos be ok on the stock rtr radio

[dxb baja]

rite i got my baja 5b rtr for x mas and 2 days ago the throttle servo started twitching like mad, so i took it to my lhs and i discover there is a problem in ether the radio, crystals, reciver or where you plug your servos in.

can you suggest anything at a low price if it is any of the problems above.

thanks

Hi,
Change your radio along with the receiver to Spektrum Technology. So I recommend Futaba 3PM, BTW are you from Dubai?

If so, go to Hobby Center Shop (Airport Road) and you should get it for 840 Dhs (229$)

yes thats where i went and at the moment i dont have 900dhs, and the baja is only 5 days old so there should be no probs with the electronics

thanks anyway

Are you using the 3pm, if so make sure you are in pp mode and not hrs if you are using analog servos, hrs mode will make em jitter like that

[dxb baja]

no im using the stocker
