Default Electrical Problems

so i bought an xtm xt2 about 3 weeks ago put it through break in and have put about half a gallon through it and all of a sudden its electrics keep malfunctioning. either the steering will suddelnly decide to not work or the throttle servo. sometimes both will stop. its the 2.4 ghz system which ive had no experience of before. The batteries have been changed 3 times and still no luck. the other day it worked fine for half an hour then it started happening again.

anyone have any clues as to what the issue may be? at the moment it will brake and steer fine but the throttle servo wont go forward.

im not sure wether its the transmitter, reciever or servos.<br type="_moz" />

I'd swap out one of the servos currently in the vehicle with a new servo(or one you know is working fine).
If you continue to have failures w/ the good/new servo, then its a TX/RX issue.
Next, try and bind another TX to RX and test.....still got issues? Prolly the RX......if no issues w/ new TX....I'd lean twd a TX issue......
Good Luck

Since you have two servos (throttle and steering) malfunctioning, I'd go for a bad receiver.
