ditch the servo reverser, and do this if you don't mind it being permanent

OMG!!! thankyou!!!!!......thats awsome that will hepl in the future tho

only thing is it wont work with my setup [&o]

here is what ive got set up ATM, works a treat appart from the servo reversing


Its for a crawler with 4 wheel steering using the traxxas 5ch radio gear.
im using the 3 posi switch that controlles the 4th and 5th channel.
left position its just front steering
mid position front and rear steering turning opposte ways
right position front and rear steering turning the same way (this is the one that glitches)

im using 3 way switches as 2 way, and the "S tester" is a servo tester that holds the servo straight when the 1st switch cuts the signal wire.
im using the switched to controll the signal wire only, that way i dont have to worry about the servo pulling to many amps through the switches

here is the truck and the brain centre, when its all working correctly im going to tidy up the wires.
the servo tester sits in the truck tray, that way I can adjust the servo trim so its tracks correctly. plan to find a scale looking object to hide it so to change the trim u would just turn that.

hmm interesting setup


Did you try bypassing the switches, and testing the servo reverser alone? If it works there seems like Switch 2 might be inducing some kind of interference into it.
