Pretty sure that's got nothing to do with your 3R, and everything to do with a bad servo.

Hi Tec, JR, Tower? Digital or analog?

Whatever it is, try it with another Tx if you can. If it still won't center I'd suggest sending the servo in for repair or warrenty.

The only other thing it may be is if you're running REAL heavy front rims, the servo may not have the ability to center itself. I wouldn't put money on that since it's turning them in the first place, but you never know.

Also try holding your crawler in your hand so there's no load on the wheels and tires, and see if anything improves.

Check the frame rate too.

Is the servo digital or analog? Are you using a brushed or brushless motor? Have you tried rebinding the Rx? Have you tried recalibrating the ESC?

infamouse_1 · 02-23-2009, 03:26 PM

I'm pretty sure its digi.and I'm using a brushless motor and I tried rebinding so many times and also tried recal.the esc the esc would read the transmitter on full throttle but when I try to cali. With full brakes it won't read it.

Could it possibly that its doing this cause I placed the reciver on top of the servo?

It could. I would think it would just glitch though.

What is the number on the servo?
