If it was purchased new take it back to the store or if online get in contact with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locky Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Are your receiver batteries at good voltage? Does it twitch at different locations, inside and outside house, just in case radio interference? If battery voltage is good and location makes no difference, then swap servo to find out and see if it stops twitching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allbluedave Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I bought a nitro car that had one of those fly sky transmitters and if I remember rightly there is a button on the receiver and one on transmitter that pairs the transmitter up so they work properly. failing that. make sure you use Duracell batterys and not cheap ones. also check for any nipped wires touching any metal or other wires. this can cause twitching.

Brandon Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Glad you found the issue! I never used a fail safe when I had a nitro. It was suppose to be built into the RX. Turns out it wasn't very good and I was always ending up going for a run sad times.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestorm01 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 have never used a fail safe, have either put a spring or elastic band on the throttle arm to close throttle in event of an issue. So far . . . . . Hasn't failed me yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 It's nice setting the failsafe not just to close the throttle, but to apply high / full brakes - ensure it comes to a rest quickly if the battery's still connected. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
