Ok my servo is wigging out. i turn the wheel and when i release it, the servo keeps turning back and forth. What could be wrong i blew everything out and checked all the connections and charged batteries on the truck and in the controller so i dont know if the servo is bad or not any help would be great.

my sons bind-n-drive was doing the same thing . he took it apart and re-aligned the gears and it was fine .mine was a rtr and had no issues..
check wires are securely in the esc and re-bind . goodluck

I was having the same problem. I double checked my wiring and the servo wire was not pushed all the way into the ESC/Reciver. I pushed it all the way in and no problems since.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

Did you get your fixed, or figure out the problem? My went nuts tonight. I'm getting ready to disassemble...

gah!

I had a problem similar to that before. It seems that the e-clip that holds the pot in place in the stock servo comes off extremely easily.
I tried bending the e-clip a bit, but it was no help, so I just bought a Hitec Servo to replace it.

I found a thread or two on a forum (don't remember which) about this issue. The trick is to center the servo by hand. It was rather easy the first time, but I had it off the chassis. A week or so later, it started doing the confused twitch again. This time, it took more patience and time (because it was on the chassis) to center it. I'm sure there is an underlying problem, but this trick was a fix to keep it running. I'm looking to upgrade in the future, so until then, I hope this works.

I just picked up a new Air 94809 for my Micro. I think 39oz should be enough.
