the only way the JP would be causnig issue is if it was rubbing something metal and POSSIBLY cause some interferance, but that pretty unlikly with the specky imo.

have your tried the servo in another application, or another servo where this one is messing up. check you wires too. make sure they are seated into plug, and the plug is firmly seated in the RX.

some metal to metal rubbing can cause glitching, but again, should be pretty none existant with spektrum. is the servo Digi or Analog?

It only happens on full throttle and i have to do is switch the on off switch and it resets fine, i thinks servo is analog 7454

Hitec 7454? thought those were Digis. hmm. not sure. try another servo, it maybe the linkages hanging up.

I had an old 1800mah battery that was getting old and sure enough glitching with a futaba servo. Its fine now with a new battery. I wonder if its the battery surging?

Hey just curious what radio are you running, because if its an earlier 2.4 Ghz system there is a filter that can be installed to stop any interference / glitches!
