Servo Trouble
Hey,
I just got a Himoto Rapida Pro. Brand new, and I turned it on, everything worked fine (servo-wise, I didn't start the engine). Then, I plugged in the Failsafe and it also worked fine. I had trouble fitting the cables in the receiver box, so I kind of stuffed them in and screwed it down not all the way. When I turned it on, the throttle servo stick would turn, but I think it was rubbing a little against the plastic cover of the receiver box. After that, the servo for throttle would kind of inch back and forth, only when the controller was on. When I tried to brake, it would inch that way. I changed batteries, and it still happened. I unplugged and replugged everything in, too. The steering works fine. What's going on?
Thanks!

RE: Servo Trouble
Its probably the fail safe kicking in from low voltage. If you get a 6V battery pack for your car like the ones Venom do then that problem will go away.
