help with throttle servo problem

[robn69]

Video

I was driving it and was working fine. Then I did a few jumps and end over ended it a few times pretty good. Then it started acting like my throttle was sticking when I would get truck a few hundred feet away or so. Or like I was loosing range. So I thought well maybe my radio needs charged. So charged it up still same thing. Then I was thinking maybe batteries in truck are low so put new ones in still same thing. The throttle looks like it is moving freely. And in the video the last for times it revved up like that with out me touching the throttle on radio.
Any idea what's going on?

stock radio system I am assuming ? if so most of the savage electronics are not the greatest, if ya have a spare servo try plugging it in and see if problem goes away, if so install that one and get ready for the steering servo to suffer the same general fate.....

I'm running Flysky FS-GT3C but yes think servo is stock.

What's a good replacement water proof throttle servo?

Well we all know the radio is good, so I would have to say the servo has a problem, perfect time to upgrade to a better servo set i would say

Did you watch the video or just go off what I said in post?

Lots of guys run the savox or hitec servos, I use el cheapo's i got on e bay and so far I aint got nuthin bad to say about them, they are plenty strong and have metal gears and are digital so I have used them in alot of my vehicles with good results
Mine are these here VVVVVV

sorry i didnt realize it was a video... just watched it and if that wasnt you runnin the throttle then I gotta say it is the servo

I was running throttle at first but the last for times it did it all on its own. And feel like it only happens when I'm not right next to it but when I get kinda far away from it. And OK thanks will look in to those.

Ran it again today and as long as I stay close 20ft or so throttle is fine. But if I get out any more it takes off on me.starting to think It's maybe the reciver.

receiver, or like I said, make sure batterys are good. what r u using?

 

[robn69]

batterys are all good. Using a fs gt3c and flysky receiver. I have a new receiver on the way.

 

[rcnut14]

r u using aa batteries for the rx?

 

[robn69]

Yes rechargeable for now tell I can get a hump back pack.

 

[rcnut14]

well, that doesn't help anything, but I don't think that it's ur problem

 

[robn69]

well, that doesn't help anything, but I don't think that it's ur problem

Pretty sure It's the receiver

 

[rcnut14]

that's what i'm thinking. how old is the rx?

 

[robn69]

No idea got truck used

 

[rcnut14]

ahhhhh. then that says it

 

[robn69]
