When I attempted to steer (whilst on throttle) the centre point of my servo goes offline as it returns. This happens frequently to the extent I have to repeatedly adjust my sub-trim on the transmitter to find the centre point (I'm using a Ko Esprit 3). Obviously, this is very frustrating and I can't race! I don't get this problem with my Bmax4 however.

Now, I've got a KO PROPO 2133 FET servo installed. Although I haven't had time to look into the issue in more detail, I intend to check the servo itself (which I doubt is faulty) and the attached saver. I may swap servos to check, but this is so much hassle!!

Could it be that the sheer torque from my brushless motor is proving too much for the servo to handle? Or is the servo losing power? (i.e. which a capacitor issue may resolve)

Any suggestions would be welcomed!
its probably the nut on the servo saver to loose and biding againts the top deck stopping the servo centralising properly
