I just got a rampage mt. New servos etc. I bond the Rx to the Tx but when it's on the steering servo turns right and the servo tries to push it more (you can hear the servo working overtime). If I use the Tx the servo won't move. The throttle moves. Need help.
 
Make sure steering servo is pluged in ch1 and the throttle/brake is in ch2 on the receiver.
 
Sounds like you need to center the servo. Take the horn off, center the steering trim and put the horn back on as close to 12 o'clock as possible. Then hook up the linkage and use the trim to straighten it out if necessary.
 
I took the horn off and centered the servo. It worked! But now the throttle servo makes a noise. Is this typical? It doesn't make a sound when it is ON (battery only) but as soon as I give it throttle it makes a sound. Just want to see if this is what it should do and don't want to ruin a throttle servo.
 
You need to set the end point. Make sure the servo isn't still pushing after the linkage stops.
