New throttle servo interference when steering ??

[Dandare]

As above really.

My throttle servo died a sudden death 2 mins before a heat on thursday night .

It's a 2.4 Ghz system on a TT EB-4 S2.

I've just replaced the dead kit servo with a bog standard Futaba S3003. Now when i use the steering i seem to be getting erratic movement of the new throttle servo causing the car to keep revving.

The only thing i changed was the direction of the servo on the transmitter as it was going in the wrong direction for throttle use.

I've checked neither connections into the reciever are touching but can't think what else would cause it ??

Any pointers appreciated

But this occours with the buggy on a stand, no wheels, no engine running, no brakes applied etc etc. Either servo isn't exactly having to work very hard under these conditions ?

What exactly is actually causing the erratic operation of the throttle servo do you think ?

Is it possible that somehow the reciever has a fault ? I did swap servo connections on the reciever so the throttle trigger would operate the steering & vice versa but the same happened making me think the reciever is ok.
