|  Scaler real jumpy
Just got my scaler up and running and my wraith is real jumpy when on throttle and when I try and turn it is like a bucking bull. Not sure what is causing it and need some help. I think it might be my radio, its an old 27Mhz AM 2 channel Traxxas radio. Any ideas? Thanks in advance Kenneth |

Is your scaler based off a Wraith, or are you talking about 2 different rigs? What ESC do you have? What motor are you running? What battery (chemistry, qty of cells, mah rating....)? What battery connectors? Did your electronics work OK in another rig or are they "new"? Did the radio work OK in a different rig? Can you/did you calibrate the ESC to the radio? |

Its just a wraith. Esc is ae-2. Novak 55t. Batterys are 2s 5000mah. Yes the electronics and radio worked on another rig. Yes I did calibrate the esc to the radio. Also when the rig gets all gittery my steering servo goes crazy. Hope this helps. Kenneth Last edited by jeepscx10; 01-12-2013 at 01:06 PM. |

 What servo? If it's under ~200inoz output, most ESC internal BEC's are OK. | |

Servo is a futaba s148 (waiting for $ to upgrade to a Hitec 645MG). As far as the jumpyness its a little jumpy when not steering then when I try to turn the truck stops moving, steering servo goes crazy, then the truck starts to get all jumpy (its kinda like a bucking bronco. Thanks again for the help. Kenneth |
