Default steering problems

My ax10 here lately hasnt been doing right. Ill turn it either way and the servo kinda squeals and the tires are real jerky like moving back and forth. I bought a new servo thinking it might help but same ol thing. Would it be my controller or esc. Im kinda bumfuzzled. Dont know a lot about these things anyway.

Can you give some specifics? What ESC? What servos (both old and new)? Are you using an external BEC?

More information about your other electronics would be helpful. I have found in any crawler situation a BEC is one of the best purchases made. A BEC will even make a lower quality servo stand to attention. Clean power is vital.

The new Savox is taking to much power and the ESC's internal BEC can not handle it. Get a Castle Creations 10amp BEC.

If this is a recent problem, and it ran fine before then adding a BEC probably isn't going to help. It sounds like your receiver has taken a dive.

Do you have anyone close by that you can swap receivers with? I had this problem with my MRC, and a quick receiver swap with a friend confirmed a bad channel.

Something easy to check....replace the batteries in your transmitter. If that doesnt work, then try to Rx as CHUD suggested.
