Default SOMETHIN' IS F'D!! WHAT IS IT???

Ok. I went out to drive my MT2 today, and try to get the irritable throttle problem fixed, and I found the problem. When the car isn't even running, but the batteries are plugged in and the switch is on, if you tap in the battery/receiver box the throttle servo goes nuts. It makes the throttle act irradically and makes the steering jittery. When the car is running, the vibration (I assume) from the engine makes the problem MUCH worse and the car is seemingly stuck on full throttle until you kill it, then the servo goes back to the "neutral" position.

Why would this be doing this? It does it whether the transmitter (controller) is on or off, and I know the batteries are good b/c they are brand new and fully charged.

Is it the servo that is bad?

When I have my failsafe hooked up the throttle won't even work. There is no interference that I know of since there are not any other R/C's around. (I am on a college campus)

ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED!!!!
