Default Throttle causes steering to move

So I have a weird problem:

At low throttle input, my steering servo starts to twitch and creep towards the left. I swapped the 20kg power hd servo for the stock one and it does the same thing too! Seems less noticeable with more throttle.

Done the transmitter reset, rebound the receiver, but nothing works!

Any ideas?

Edit:
I've tested with the servo disconnected from the steering linkage and the arm continues to move under throttle--so it's not being mechanically torqued. Weird thing is, under light throttle, the servo will go full swing if I barely turn the wheel. It also is slow and twitchy to recenter under this condition. I did recently get a new receiver from Traxxas, due to my channel 2 dying on my original one.

Edit again: I'm an idiot! I think it has something to do with TSM. I'll mess around with it and update again if I find a fix, in case someone else runs into this.

Final edit: Definitely the TSM. Hold menu, hit set, menu x7, set. Turn the mf knob to 0. Done.
