Sounds like you're picking up interference from somewhere.

Have you tried removing the 5 cell pack & going back to the standad batteries to see if the problem goes away?

Point the radio away from the car--- sometime when the batteries are fully charged and you hold the transmitter too close to the radio- the car may shutter a bit. Let us know if you are having continued issues- we would be happy to help you resolve...

After many gallons, my truck developed this problem. Around that time, the stock steering servo failed, and I replaced it with a Hitec digital servo. The jittering went away, but later returned in the other 2 stock servos. When one of the remaining stock servos failed, I replaced both of them with Hitec digital servos and have been jitter-free since. I think my jitter issue was caused by the failing servos, which were causing electrical noise. The digital servos are superior to the stock servos in all aspects so I am glad I made the change. BTW, I have been using a 5-cell receiver pack since day 1.

I havent swapped the Alkaline pack back yet. I DID replace the steering servo at the same time as doing the pack(Hitec 5955). They all jitter like crazy.. ill get back with u, its apart for cleaning..
