I've not seen it personally with my gear, but I have fitted one to my GT12 car just in case, as it's running 4cell/4.8v, with spektrum receiver, and savox servo. My buggy is fine with savox/spektrum and tekin RS pro.

You mentioned you were having trouble charging batteries?
Could you have been hitting the lipo cutoff, or was the power to the motor fine?

I'd still check out your servo wires carefully for breaks.

Are you still getting the problem now on the bench?
Could it have been some sporadic interference?
I've had interference problems and glitching standing next to people with cheap Code radios, which goes away if you move away from them, or switch your tranny off and back on again to re-pair your radio.
Brand new servo done one meeting it's fine!
Regarding the stuttering it was fine in first two rounds And then started doing it in rounds 3/4 and the final when I pulled it off etc as it was undriveable

It's not doing it in the house or on the bench
And regarding charging batteries it was the amount of time I had to charge them that was the problem! They never went out fully charged!
