Default Im getting pissed!

Ok I have an ax10 that's been upgraded with LRP waterproof esc, traxxas waterproof servo and the. Reciver is incased in a traxxas waterproofed box. When I reverse the servo flips the f**k out and turns to the left or rapidly back and forth. I just bought a new reciver and I'm not old enough to get a job so I don't have disposable income. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG!

you have an issue with your ESC settings. unplug the throttle and the steering and switch the steering to the throttle and see if the servo still freaks. If it doesnt, then its the ESC settings, or the ESC its self.

Not sure what radio your using either, so it can be your radio settings. kinda hard to guess if you dont clue us in on everything.

Sounds like either a glitch with a spike hitting your receiver or you need a BEC to help power your servo so it does not gray out your speedo

Is the traxxas servo brand new? If not, and it has been submerged in water, some water may have gotten inside the casing and fried it. I'm working on a summit that does the exact same thing you're describing.

I'm running with one of the first gen TQ3's and the servo is about 3 years old

Are you sure the servo is waterproof? I don't recall Traxxas making a waterproof servo that long ago. If it is the esc, just pm me and I will get another one out to you.

I think I pin pointed the problem. Some water probley got in to waterproof case around the reciver so its sending mixed signals to the truck, I just tried it again and I had to change the channel two switch a couple times, the truck changed its self to where reverse was forward and vise versa.
