Servo juddery

[Kopite]

Hi all,

Does anyone know what the cause could be to why my servo,when centering itself, judders like mad for a few seconds? (when i say judder, i mean 'flickers from left to right really fast').

I'm not sure i'd be able to tell on the track that this is happening, but it's beginning to freak me out a bit, and it can't be good for the servo itself

cheers all,

Stanners

What servo and what radio are you using?

Could be you're using an analogue servo and a digital transmission mode, which will kill the servo in the long run.

A digital servo can 'hunt' for neutral if there is any slack at all in the gears. Try some thick grease on the gears, that should sort it

Wow, you learn something new everyday.

It's a KO2343 servo, 6v, and a KO Helios Radio (although it's done it for every radio i've had).

Interesting point that Northy, I have been told before that it could be the servo motor that could be goosed?

I'd get a new one, but i'm a tight ass
