New servo chattering

[dobber]

I've fitted a new servo to replace my very old but reliable futaba 3003. Got a Savox servo but it chatters a bit and when testing it seems to get interference. When full throttle and turning it will either put the wheels straight or worse go the opposite way. Should I rested the receiver (got a code system with blue rx) this tx and rx worked perfectly before putting in the Savox. Any thoughts as I may have to swap it back over before tomorrow evenings racing.
Ta muchly!

All my Savox 1251's chatter under trimmed load? Always have, although I have never experienced the 'wrong way' and 'self centering' throw you are getting

Keep us posted if you silence that pesky thing

What receiver/transmitter are you using? Is it 2.4 GhZ?

Yes it's a code 2.4ghz tx and rx. I swapped over to the trusty futaba and it was spot on. All very frustrating!

hi

i have heard of people suffering with servos like this it may be that the servo is a bit "thirsty" on the current drain . plugging a voltage booster into the receiver may help

your old Futaba is anologue and less greedy on power than the newer digital servos when on full power and turning current drain from battery is max receiver voltage can drop just causing servo to play up


This is only advice it may be you have a different fault (it may be a faulty servo) but it would be my first thing to try

hope this helps

He bought the servo from me. I suggested the same thing about using more power. If you cant resolve the problem and would like to return it i am more than happy to have it back mate. It was working perfectly for me and im sure it will be a simple solution like suggested above.
