Servo has got the JITTERS


       Remove this ad - become a site supporter!
I have installed A KO Pro servo #2343 as my steering servo.
Everything works great, the servo is unbeleivably fast and strong too.
The problem is when I apply throttle it starts to jitter.
Normally this would be understandable if it were a brushed motor with no caps installed.
But it isn't.....
It is a brushless system, This should not happen. The only other thing I can think of is the drive train.
The outdrives are metal the dogbones are metal and the spindles are metal, spinning metal bearings.
Any ideas????? This is the only area I can think of.
Also going to a newer or higher quality radio system help?
My current radio is a Futaba Magnum sport 75Mhz AM.
Does this make a difference?
Thanks

have your tried using a difent speed controler? or recever with the servo? or the servo in another car?

I have seen this happen in a RC18T and the problem was in the speed controler

GOD I hope its not the ESC...Its brand new ...LRP Sphere.
I almost hope its the receiver LOL...I bought it used. Its a few years old. I do plan on getting a Spektrum sometime in the future. The car is drivable, the jitters do not seem to affect its drivability
But how can you tell when its flying around the track LOL.

I would say its more than likely the receiver but if it isn't switching to a FM radio should do the trick. They are going pretty cheap on eBay if your looking for one...
