MY REDCAT RAMPAGE XR STEERING SERVO STOPPED WORKING so I sent for another. Same. After installing it, it ran a bit and within half of an hour, it locked to one side, and won't budge. It stopped working, dead. The eBay seller offered a replacement: same kind: Redcat-Racing steering servo. Same fate: it stopped receiving signals. Dead. The seller was kind enough to refund me.
I then bought another steering servo: a Track star fifth-scale steering servo, installed it and began to rip around my backyard track. Then just like that it stopped working and the vehicle was running straight off a bend. No steering input. It stopped responding to steering-wheel input. Then after a few minutes it kicked back into life. This keeps happening on and off.
So, I trouble-shot the receiver. (Maybe there was something wrong with the channel #1 slot on the receiver.) I plugged the throttle servo into the steering channel, and then I rotated the steering wheel left and right. The throttle servo worked excellently. For good measure, I plugged the steering servo into the throttle channel, and worked the trigger to and fro. The steering servo worked a bit, began glitching and then stopped. That told me that it was not a servo issue, that IT WAS THE STEERING SERVO.
Then I began to wonder if the problem was my FLYSKY FS-GT3B transmitter?
I have contacted eBay and requested a return, but I'm not sure where the problem emanates from?
Is it the servo? The reveiver? The transmitter?
CAN ANYONE SHED SOME LIGHT?
