RE: NOO POWER TO SERVOS
Are you using the stock 4-cell battery pack holder? Are the batteries in correctly? I only ask this as you sure wouldn't be the first one to get a battery in the wrong way. Don't ask me how I know...........
You said that you bypassed the switch so that throws out what can usually be the problem. Some others can be a bad crystal or if you're sung another brand of servos other than the originals they might either be inserted wrong or the + and - wires crossed.
