Hi all,

I'm new to RC buggies and got an Ansmann Vapour Kit for Crimbo. I've built the buggy and got it running ok except the servos seem a bit dodgy. I got an Acoms Techniplus radion kit along with buggy which includes 2 Acoms AS-17 servos. At first all was working ok but I was getting a lot of glitching but at least the steering and throttle servos both worked. It took me a while to get the throttle set up so it just ticked over to get engine run in. When I had the buggy sitting on box ticking over the steering was working fine but when I sat it on ground for its first run the steering servo didnt work and insnt working now even if I lift the wheels off ground. When I first turn on the Radio gear the servo moves so this rules out any loose connections. I have also noticed the servos have a mind of there own sometimes this happened even when the buggy is not running with just the radio gear switched on, I have the antenna fully extended, and I am away from any other potential signals that could be interfering so what else could be causing this?

I googled these servos but cant find any reviews etc but I have noticed they are one of the cheapest around so my question is, are they any good?
Is it normal for a servo to "pack in" so quickly?
Can anyone recommend another servo I could buy at a reasonable price?
How can I stop glitching? Is this down to cheap servos?

Sorry for all the questions but like I say I'm new to this

Thanks in advance for any suggestions


Cheers

most servos will glitch(unless your running 2.4ghz) it could be down to hundreds of factors.... try to get the two servo wires as fas away from eachother and any other wires for that matter. As for the servo packing in, no that shouldn`t have happened. I`d say u should get another more torquey one for the steering...
