Default Help with my Dingo

I put a battery in it last night to play around and found that when i turn the wheels left or right, after a second or two, they return to center with out me letting go of the wheel. I unplugged the battery and and turned the transmitter off and back on and it still does it.

Do you think its just the servo going out?

Make sure you got fresh batteries in the transmitter and truck.
is this with or without hitting the throttle?

Check your battery for full charge or try a couple batteries.
I had a servo issue on my TH, it pretty much locked me out of any function. Change the servo and everything worked great. Maybe connect a different servo to see if it works.
If not, then check your ESC. Might try connecting a different one or re-binding the one you have.

I am sure its the battery. I put my other lipos in that i know work and it has no problem. With these new batteries it works for about 30 seconds, then the steering servo starts doing weird things and the car some times jumps. I think i am just charging them wrong. Its my first adventure into lipos and with out consulting all my crawling buddies, I found two batteries online that matched close to what my other lipos are, so i bought them. I am taking one to a friends house today to ask.

FYI, the battery in question is a Tiger Power Atomic Platinum 2200mAH

Get a Castle BEC and have no more issues. Crawlers depend HEAVILY on the servo reacting when and how we need them to as we are driving. A BEC provides continuous power directly to the receiver and thus powers the servo directly with the applied voltage (6 v stock, but it is adjustable). I know changing the Lipo may also work, but for a guaranteed power source you need a BEC. I have one on my crawler and even my racing SCT. They work and have no drawbacks.
