wrong?
 

I recently dissasembled my Nitro Evader and have found that the High Tourqe metal gear or whatever steering servo seems oddly loud I cant figure it out...maybe its normal?...and there is a slight twitch in the throttle is there a bad connection in the two connecters by the fuel tank (battery pack to receiver?)???....am i just not noticing this untill now or a problem occured when re-assembling?

RE: wrong?
 

My s3305 is fairly loud compared to the standard servos that come on the evader.

Does the throttle twitch only when the Tx is on? You can try tweaking the trim a little.


You can try swapping the steering servo into the Rx channel 2 and throttle servo into Rx channel 1, and see which one twitches. If it is still the thottle servo, then it's a problem in the servo. If it's the steering twitching now, then it's a problem in the radio somewhere.

I changed my steering Servo to a metal gear high torque one and noticed that it "hums" almost like there is alot of pressure on it. So I adjusted it with the Steering Trim and could get the "hum" to go away, but as soon as I touched the steering again and it set back to center, it started up again. What I also noticed was that the Servo would only do that WITH the Transmitter on..the servo also made that "hum" while not even in the truck. So I came to the conclusion that its not a bad connection, nor stress on the servo.
Im not an expert, so correct me if im wrong guys...lol..I know ya will. :)

Ok well i guess its fine bc i can adjust it as you guyts said with the trim and then turn it and it twitches again so i guess its fine?...I DONT CARE im running it anyway i havbent ran it in like at least 3 months!...lol cant fix the shaft bc on a shortage of money bc i bought a savage instead of shaft!...LOL!

Servo's usually will hum but shouldn't.....it's usually a binding problem someplace and the hum is warning you the servo is stressed. On rc cars/trucks I noticed the hum is difficult to make go away alot of weird bends in connections and causes slight binds and makes them hum...on airplanes you usually have real quiet servo operation and a hum there can mean disaster...I've yet to have a rc car or truck drop a servo cause of a hum....however metal geared servo's will tend to hum easier than others....also your epa setting can remove the hum and sometimes save you from sevo failures....on 1/6th scale gasers I use Hitec HS-5745MG at $70 a piece they'll toast easy if set at 100%+ epa so we run them at 90%-80% to stop heat buildups and they last a long time then. Try backing your epa down a bit on it and see how it operates then....epa can only be set though if you got a quality radio setup...otherwise your stuck at 100%+
