    Summit going on and off

    Ive owned my summit about 3 years and luv the truck....however, went out to drive it yesterday and noticed the ESC flickering on and off when driving then it would stop. Upon further investigation i found the esc worked fin if i did not turn left or right. However, if i turned left or right whether driving or just sitting the truck would just make like a buzzing noise and the lights would go out. I found my passenger side steering servo extremely hot while the drivers side was cool to the touch. I thought it was the esc until it worked fined driving forward/backward just when the wheels were turned did the truck act up and the esc shut down......could it be a bad steering servo....just curious if anyone has had the issue...worked fine last time i drove it then this issue....TIA

    The hot servo is likely the issue unplug It and test

    A bad servo can make the evx2 do some crazy stuff
