Default Totaaly clueless...servo prob

Well this started with me changing a glowplug in my RB....

When started...... and at full thorottle, the servo just moves back and forth from about 1/2 to full.
But i cant get it to flip out when its off....could it be the plug causing interfearance??? batteries are fully charged.

Im stumped--changed glow plug when it was being difficult to tune, as it turned out the glow plug was
not glowing, but nothing wrong with the wire. Meh...

plz hellp
thanks,
Cloud

sounds to me like two metal surfaces are rubbing/chattering against each other. check all your screws and bolts.

no... ANY metal. if any metal is scratching any other metal, especially when being vibrated from the engine, like during full throttle will cause a small signal to be sent which may be picked up by the reciever.

especially the glow plug wrench touching the head. even w/FM it will cause it to rev the engine up on mine sometimes. not all the time but it will do it.but you say its doing it while running it? hmmmmm- id check the reciever
