*WOW* confused!!!!

[Car_Head12]

I am completely confused. I have two airtronics standard servos ( i think they are the problem..), with an avenger radio. everything was working fine when suddenly, today i turned it on and it went haywire. the servos moved randomly.when i attempted to turn the wheel the servos responded a small amount then just went wacko again. does this mean the bat pack is messed? i am CONFUSED. If u have any idea what this is or how to fix it.....
thanks
also, im gonna check with my LHS tom. and see what they think....

Sounds like interferance to me. If the wires are not in good shape they could be grounding out on the chassis or another metal or graphite part of the car. The transmitter batteries or the reciever batteries may be low and need to be replaced or recharged. My T-Maxx does the same thing when the reciever batteries are low. Check the condition of the wires and batteries.

Glad I could help. Those pesky batteries always seem to go dead at the wrong time.

Sounds like a mean case of the "twitchy glitchies" good thing it didn't do it in the middle of a race... http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/smile.gif

same thing has happened to me a couple of times but with hitec servos
1st time - bad receiver-replaced by duratrax
2nd time - interference caused by engine-that's what they told me at least- fixed by duratrax somehow
3rd time - bad servo
4th time - bad servo

no I am not kidding!!! this has happened to me 4 times. I have had no luck with hitec products, maybe b/c they are the cheap ones that duratrax includes with rtr kits.

hope this helps http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/smile.gif
