| servo turns left when driving forward
ok i have a mamba micro pro running to a punk dig with a spektrum sr3500rx im running a cc bec to power my batt so only the signal wire from the servo is going to the rx and the other 2 are going to the cc bec when i hit the throttle the servo twitches and turns left. i tried without the bec and it doesnt happen. its not big deal to run the bec conventionally with the weak tpro servo that i have now but when i get my jr high voltage servo im gonna want to run 7v+ to it so i need to get this issue resolved. i searched for this issue and couldnt find anything please help |

could be not enough voltage running though? what are you using right now? btw did you take out the red wire from the rx plug? |

well RXs i heard cant take more than 5amps or something along those lines, so the power isnt used up effectively. that could be the issue. what ESC are you using? if your using the M2 Dig, i wouldnt be surprised, novaks new firmware update will fix the servo glitchs and enable locked dig.. |

well i read that RXs cant handle 5as correctly. you could try connecting the servo directly to the bec.

Analog or digital servo? Try changing the response rate.

Yeah those Tower Pros wear out pretty quick, trying to diagnose any problem with them is usually followed by a "replace servo" remark |
