| Rx wire nipped?????
Yeah as I was removing the plate I nipped about a 1/4in off the Rx antenna should it still be good? I got 2 so no worry if its not. Everything works right cept the servo now unloads when turning in a bind. Im only running storage charged 3s lipo with a BEC set at 7.4v for minor steering testing. You guys think its the Rx or just under powered lipo causeing the servo to unload in a bind? Its a traxxas TQ 2.4 Rx if that matters |

How is the BEC hooked to the servo? Straight or through the RX?

| Most 2.4ghz radios are not real picky about cutting the antenna a bit, or even coiling it up. It changes the range some, but not enough for crawling. Did you set your steering EPA's?? You may be overdriving the servo against hard parts and drawing a ton of amps that is hitting the LVC in the ESC and browning out the RX (or even overdrawing the external BEC). |
