Default Servo Trouble?

Hey guys, I just about finished my X2 build and I am in the process of setting my end points. Steering servo works fine, but when I try to set the throttle servo it goes a little crazy. I give it some throttle and it will go back and forth for a few seconds. I thought it might be my batteries, but everything is fully charged. I just picked up this used radio it is an Airtronics M11 with spectrum module.

My question is do you think it is the radio, or the servo?

Thanks!

sounds like interference... try and keep your power cables and servo cables as far away as possible

You also don't want the Tx very close to the Rx when you do this.

The Spektrum stuff seems to get a little 'goofy' if they are too close together.

Have you tried to plug in another servo and see if it's doing the same..I would be very careful and make double sure that everything is fine, a "bad" throttle servo can have costly results.
