Steering twitching while throttle

[NitroNation]

I recently started experiencing steering twitching or interference or i don't know what while I press on the throttle. This only happens when I press on the throttle just to make it clear and sometimes it twitches sometimes it doesnt. Anyone have an idea what the problem is ?

By twitching do you mean the motor cogs and jerks back and forth?

could be a loose connection on the servo I suppose, have ya inspected the wiring and connections? thats where I would start....

I unplugged the steering servo from the receiver and the problem is still there when I press on the throttle.

The engine does not jerk it's continuous power but the steering goes right and left on its own even when the servo is unplugged.

well thats prolly just an effect of the tires moving around caz of 4wd.....something of a gyro effect I suppose..... to check the servo ya should unplug the drive motor and see if the steering reacts normally when ya steer.... if so plug back in the motor and while on a block of some kind wheels off the ground give it throttle and see if it persists.... if it still does try a different servo. it could be damaged.....

Thanks guys. I will try isolating just the servo connection by disconnecting the motor. I have a feeling it's the servo for some reason.

well one way to stop breaking stuff so much is not crashing and cartwheeling alot.....otherwise these lil things do break.... is just part of the hobby I guess.....I don't think I have a car in my fleet that hasn't suffered some breakage....... Most of these lil cars/trucks etc are driven so far outta the realm of reality anyway is a wonder how they last more than a couple minutes without grenading something........WELCOME To The Wonderful world of R/C

if you're running 3s going down to 2s will help a TON

That's the problem, go back to 2s and you'll stop breaking them.
