Default Little bit of a problem, Possibly big problem...

Ok so today I was running my SCX 10 with my Goat 3s and a 9100t and how the thing is awesome. but at the end of my run i had a few problems.. First the goat started to twitch not go and the go really jittery, It did it out of the box but I mess with the sensor wire and its fine, but this time nothing seemed to help. So I dont know..


Then the servo started acting up, I would turn the wheel to the right and it would go right then left then right again with out me doing anything but holding it to the right.. Now when I plug my battery in it goes back and forth to the left and right un controllably and I have no idea what is going on.

I have the servo hooked up to the CC BEC at 6v.. Not sure where the interference could be coming from cause it worked fine for most of the day.

If your electronics are higher quality and your battery is not, or low C output battery, at 6.x volts and your BEC set at 6 volts what could be happening is the rest of the electronics are taxing the battery.
This means all your electronics are not getting what they need to operate properly.
I bet if you try a good 3s LiPo you will not have any problems.
Also double check your BEC settings and look for the green LED when it's powered.

the hyperion 3s 1100mah 35c is small and packs plenty of punch, or you could get the thunder power 45c. PM Krawlerhobbies or visit krawlerhobbies.com if you don't see what you want pm him and he probably has it.
