Steering servo problem!?!?

[savageboi]

Hey all. Hope you can help. I broke my stock servo in my x and thought it would be a good time to upgrade. I bought a gv servo from my lhs with metal gears and more power, he Sed it would work perfect for my savage. The problem is that I can't turn and accelerate at the same time and some times lose complete power to my t/b servo. I really haven't got a clue what's up with it! Hoping you guys might be able to shed some light over the situation. Would really appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.

Good advise think I'm gunna take it back tomorrow see what they say. I just can't figure it out when I put my old servo in it it's fine. How could it interfere with the throttle I don't know?!?

Not sure how much you payed for it but for $55 you can get a hitec servo metal gears pulls 168 oz in at 6v and it's name brand =D the savage needs at least 150 oz in to turn the tires ..

Here is the hitec servo ::

Eight here's the thing, i found out that the servo works perfectly when powered by AA batteries but when the hump pack goes in it flips out and I have no control of my f/b servo?!? This is doing my head right in lol. Do you guys think iv got a problem with my hump pack or you still think it's the servo?

Make sure your battery, Throttle, and Steering servo are in the right spots in the receiver ..

your hump pack may have a dead cell. causing your problems. it sure sounds like a low voltage issue to me

 

[what the FLUX]

yeah I agree with Mick, sounds like the hump pack is the problem
