what servo did you buy?
there are a few (the cheaper ones) that pull a ton of current that the ESC can't deliver, and will cause the receiver to lose power.

Also possible you got a bad servo

The stock traxxas servo for the 1/16 is notorious for going bad and doing just that. Did you buy the servo? or did it come with the car? It may have been bad already. I am running a hitec metal geared servo, can not remember the number, maybe a 5085?
