RE: RADIO GEAR?(SPEKTRUM)
Question for the radio informed?[sm=confused.gif]
I had a problem yesterday with my Spektrum or should I say I found it to be my throttle servo...[:@]
I would walk 80 steps away and the throttle would glitch, sputter and not repond, then the failsafe would engage. I sat and wondered what could be wrong with my transmitter and radio range.[&o] When I got close it seemed not to happen?? I thought I would go home and take my electronics apart so, started for the truck when my MT just stopped, I had full steering but no throttle *The throttle servo went to shi@*. I have replaced the servo and sent the failed one in for warranty through my LHS and all is back to normal but here is the question;
Will a dieing (failing) servo cause a problem with the electrical feed or radio wave to make the built in failsafe engage? Don't get me wrong I AM GRATEFUL it did! But until it died I thought I had a radio or interference problem, I would of never guessed that the servo would be causing the glitching and the failsafe to engage.
