Default uncontrolable car.

my car keeps turning right for a split second then left when i turn the wheel on the remote to the left, the same thing happens when i turn right. this is bugging me badly. help please.
also, when i am holding the trigger down fully, the car goes like putt putt putt. like a broken car. like there are spaces in the sending radiowave. kindove like..... ___-___-___-___-___-___-___-___- lke the _ is good signal and the - is broken signal.
its super annoying, any help would be very appreciated.

I don't get what your first problem is. It turns left and right by itself?

Theres some interfearence in the area. Or theres something wrong with your range.

Check your servo connections. One of the wires might be loose enough to be touching another one.

theres ya problem

fets and liths

the servo pot and motor in an xmod arnt made to take lith power so causes jitter , always in one way or another

and stacking fets just adds to the problem

couple of things you can do is add another pot in-line to choke the power going to the servo
or do a hobbygrade transplant

yes it has the 3 wires for the pot and the 2 for the motor
but in the hs55 there is a board so you will need to take it out and just conect the wires to the board if you need more help with it just pm me

The problem is not only his servo; he has two problems. One with the servo and one with the motor. This is definitely a range issue and I'd try a different antennae and another set of controllers/controller.
Does this happen when your within one foot of the car? Prop the car up on something (so the wheels can move freely) and update us on what happens. Also, you need to make sure that the antennae is not touching any GPM part.

it's either the remote or the extra voltage. most likely the extra voltage.
i have a gen 1 with tight turns and a 2 year old remote and it still turns just fine. my motor fets are blown tho
