I have a issue with my servo that controls throttle/brake. Fresh batteries and all... When car power is off servo moves fine but when receiver pack is in and on it just jerks around twitching like...Im new to this stuff so I'm it sure if it's bad or not or if maybe some water got in their or if it's a receiver issue I have a money pit aka Firehammer I believe all electronics are stock...

Is it jerking about when the engine is fired up, but fine when it isn't?
Simple one here would be to try a new plug - must have the 'R' (Resistance) within the plug reference.

Well i was running the buggy just fine and all of a sudden the throttle stopped working didn't stick wide open thankfully. I put it on the stand and had the engine off electronics on and it like makes itself stiff you can't move it when electronics are off it moves normally. As far as the plug I read on here about interference from it so I'm going to replace that asap. As well as I read on here try different channels for the servo I'll try that and see what happens.
