What servo? What battery?What radio? I bet you need a external BEC.

Sounds a lot like the problem I had with my SideWinder.. A BEC fixed it right up and haven't had a problem since

since the steering power is coming from the esc it draws to much amp so the throttle power is lost momentarrily. if you want to get by and not work your servo as hard turn down the end points so the servo doesnt lock at the sides.
