Default Serious servo jitter

I should have been a little clearer on my description of going "nuts", my fault. The servo arms were jittering back and forth and it sounded intermitant. I would say they were moving back and forth about a quarter of an inch, not just a little jump. When I initially plugged them into the receiver, they were calm as can be, once the transmitter was turned on, it was jitter city. I initially though it was the transmitter, but the 517's worked like I said, "as smooth as silk". Just to let you know, it was a new Hitec receiver and a new crystal. The readout on the transmitter read 10.0 volts, but it is a JR 622, which is an older radio. The radio still has the original battery in it although it was never used. The radio was charged on the Accu-cycler and appeared to hold a good charge.
