Default 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!

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.

No, even with the failsafe not on it, it still happens. What could it be?

Check the receiver to servo connections...maybe a wire is damaged.
