Great videos in general sir! One quick note, I just went through this on my Schumacher, the non centering can also just be the servo horn. I had a new Savox 1251mg start to do this randomly and it wound up just being the plastic factory servo horn. Put on a protek clamping horn and back in business. Keep up the awesome videos and help me find someone in the know who can bring some racing back to south Louisiana for us 🙏🏻😊👍🏻 lol
Jason love your vids. Question is ti better to set brake and throttle on your radio or on the ESC? Thing like punch setting on the ESC or EXPO on the radio which is preferable? Thanks Darick
What if when you turn it on and the sterring goes left and make a buzzing sound when it's on and when I turn it off it stops .... and does it mean the servo is needed to be replaced and the servo is making the buzzing sound
Sometimes if a servo is glitching, it can also be a receiver issue, especially if it's a cheap receiver. Usually you can fix that by using a glitch buster or power cap.
my servos are new...but they are cheap...so it is probably bad servos. my e revo keep turning left and right when slowing down or braking... it start slightly and gets to full left and right swings. when i hit go backwards it find its center and go backward....its just that sometime it keeps glitching and turn slowly on one side until it send a signal to stop it and return center... those 25$ servos are shit...
That wobble had me perplexed. After playing with it one more time it finally went on me. Awkward thing was it went while i was replacing other parts and testing them out so i felt like I had done something. It's likely that i over trimmed it so probably was me XD
I have a problem with my servo… it kind of acts like a motor instead, the servo won’t stop spinning. I really don’t know how to fix it, can anyone help me???
My throttle cuts out when i try turning new radio and 150 dollar protek servo what could this be im using a flysky gt5 the servo is a few months old and radio is new thanks brother
Please please help me my rc car tires are moving all by it’s self with out me touching the transmitter does that mean my sevro is bad or is it my transmitter because I put new batteries in my transmitter today
My steering trim is at the left side of the center dot. And I always need to straighten it when I am driving at times and I don't think it needs to be on the left side to go straight? That's probably a bad servo.
conect it to chanel 1 of your receiver. start your car to power up the receiver. and make sur car is in center position connect the servo horn and hit left and right to see if it moves in a 270 degree angle. after hitting gas check if the servo horn start moving on its own slowly. normally it should not move at all.
@@monsterrun it didn't really matter which channel I plugged it into. When I did it just whipped out the receiver. Ended up to my multimeter and you could see the voltage jumping around. I called the company that made the steering servo and they replaced it. Now it sits in my Traxxas UDR. 🤓
Thanks for this video! My servo exactly doing what yours. At least I know is because of my servo since I tried my receiver with other cars and its doing fine.
Nice vid input. What about if your servo does not turn fully when vehicle is place on the ground but turns fully when in the air? That's the problem I'm having. Because it will turn one direction fully but not the other way when on the ground.
What if my car starts pulling to the right all of a sudden then straightens it's self out? On throttle , drifting or braking , it does it on all three, tried turning the Traxxas stability management off and it still does it
Bought an RTR yesterday, servo and radio are both brand new. I had first issue yesterday but trimming seemed to fix it. Today the servo was completely cutting in and out. It would ignore commands and then suddenly become responsive again. This happened several times in my half hour run. Any ideas what it it could be? This is my second day with my first hobby grade car haha.
I have something really strange going om with my servo right now. Only started today after removing and then reinstalling the servo saver and the steering links. Now after just turning the car on, the servo will start turning gradually, click by click, like som weird clock and after reaching max steer, it keeps pulling and pulling, and then finally goes back to center. What's going on?!? The car is a Tamiya Sand viper and the servo is a Futaba S 3010.
@@mrloom I think I replaced the servo. And then the entire car. Tamiyas just don't hold up in my opinion. Even the slightest bump = at least one boken part. The plastic used is too hard. There must be some give to the plastic material, some flex you know. Otherwise, too brittle.
It would be more constructive if you would explain the underlying cause. I know some sponsored pilots who resolved the vibration at center by placing a piece of velcro between the elevator counter balance and the stab, and continue to fly same servo in competition. I've had servos jitter for years without failure. Same goes for centering. Some servos don't center well but continue to function fine. But who knows you might be right.
It could also be unclean/unstable power from the BEC, wrong mode selection in the remote, too much power going to the servo. Either way to say servo jitter = starting to go bad is not really correct. It'd be like saying motor stutter is a bad sensor wire. When it could be the sensor board or esc as well.
Funny my servo just died today.
Good info vid
I have scx24 just upgraded my servo to the emax ma2 and a buzzing sound comes from the servo what do I do
My servo dont jiggle jiggle, it pulls
My veles29 start runs alone , runs and stop runs and stop , idont know if was interference with some shit
its 2024 and its still very helpful thank you sir
You look like you need some sleep Jason LOL
Nah, looks stoned as hell... I would know lol
Never had a Futaba servo go bad on me, I bought like 10 of the S9351servos back in 2006 and they are still going strong today.

I bought my Rc less than a month ago and it’s already gone bad 😕
Jwushhwhshuwuhs Rajshshsbhshdhss same
My servo just doesn’t go back straight when I’m driving
Dur dur dur, does one seriously have to make a video about this pretty obvious "explanations"
I just got into R/C 3 days ago and already broke my servo.. 🙄
I love the shirt bro!
Is it normal for my rc car to turn by it’s self when not on ground
so what if the the servo get super hot and can barely turn the wheels?
Thanks for awnsering my question about our door tires love the videos

Hey can you help me with a problem?
Hmm my new sanwa srg-bs needs to be re trimmed often maybe it’s a bum servo :(

Why is my servo is cracking
I am so happy i subbed this channel! Always something cool, informative, and entertaining. Thank you sir!
Facts!
my servos are new...but they are cheap...so it is probably bad servos.
my e revo keep turning left and right when slowing down or braking... it start slightly and gets to full left and right swings.
when i hit go backwards it find its center and go backward....its just that sometime it keeps glitching and turn slowly on one side until it send a signal to stop it and return center...

Just died.....
My throttle cuts out when i try turning new radio and 150 dollar protek servo what could this be im using a flysky gt5 the servo is a few months old and radio is new thanks brother
Question. My wheels wont turn when it is sitting flat on the ground but they will when I hold it in the air. Any tips on what is wrong?
Sounds like you may need a stronger servo.
How did you end up resolving the issue?
My ESC wont stay on if the servo is connected, I assume I broke the servo somehow.

there's a like because the video is short
some other guys would extend this video to 5 minuits for no reaso
The real question is: Do you know how to test a servo properly without installing it in your truck in the 1st place? Thanks!
conect it to chanel 1 of your receiver.
start your car to power up the receiver. and make sur car is in center position connect the servo horn and hit left and right to see if it moves in a 270 degree angle.
after hitting gas check if the servo horn start moving on its own slowly. normally it should not move at all.

Thanks for this video👍
My servo is weak. It hardly turns the wheels? Can i fix it?
Thanks for this video! My servo exactly doing what yours. At least I know is because of my servo since I tried my receiver with other cars and its doing fine.
Myne was working fine and I was turning it back and forth and it just got week realy quick and stoped
Can we use 3 wired servos instead of 5 without changing old 5 pin esc by adding some wiring in 3 wired servos
Mines makes that noise and it turns by it’s selg

Hey man am having the same issue did you replace the your servo?
Yo my servo got stuck i hit my table and the wheels don’t turn anymore, any idea what it could be ?
What if my car starts pulling to the right all of a sudden then straightens it's self out? On throttle , drifting or braking , it does it on all three, tried turning the Traxxas stability management off and it still does it
Any fixes ? I'm having same issue
Ha ha, I could've used this Friday! :)

Mst?
My OMG drift servo is doing what yours is doing in the first exemple. Does changing gears and bearing in servo helps or it won't come back as new?
Chris Rob won’t be the same ever just get a new servo
Good tips

Have the same issue . Did you find a answer ?
@@mrloom I think I replaced the servo. And then the entire car. Tamiyas just don't hold up in my opinion. Even the slightest bump = at least one boken part.
The plastic used is too hard. There must be some give to the plastic material, some flex you know. Otherwise, too brittle.
Is there any way to fix either one of those problems? Or is the servo junk at that point?
Greg Carrico junk
Great video

When my truck gets under hard load my servo glitch's full left in low gear in high it just glitch's left.. Bad servo? I swapped radio gear no help.
Have you tried adding a glitch buster? It's a cheap capacitor that lugs into the receiver, & helps to prevent glitching.
