Default throttle servo problem

Whenever i have my car running the throttle servo keeps twitching. And once i give it throttle the arm stays where its at. Sometimes it moves whenever i move the steering servo. what should i do?

check the wires.

make sure they arent pinched,frayed, or anything like that. check the connect to the servo and swap the throttle/steering servo and see if the problem follows to the swap. if so it might be the rx.

did you run through a lot of puddles? water hurts ofcourse.

check the linkage to make sure its functioning properly.

low batteries in either the transmitter or in the car will cause this.

i swap the servos for throttle/steering and it was the same thing. I think it might be low batteries in my transmitter but the lights not blinking.
