New Summit.... need some help please !!

[Beantownhero]

Hey everyone, I just opened my new summit, put some juice in the stock batteries and began to break in the motor. I was curious of two things.... How did you break in your motor?
&
the second question, the one im actually concerned about is the steering/servos. The steering seems to be very jerky....not smooth like my rustler or other cars. If I turn the wheel fast all the way left or right it smoothly turns all the way.... but if i only turn half way or slow it is very twitchy/ jerky.

IS THIS NORMAL? Its buggin me out and I wanna make sure this is the way its suppose to be.

Tanks for any and all input ! can wait to use it this weekend.

Motor break in is listed in the manual.

The servos might be fighting each other... is one warmer than the other?

[reod12x2]

or is there a humm coming from the sterring servo's

ill have to check tonight...dont think it one was warmer than the other. The buzzing is when I first turn it on and after ive turned the wheels while stopped. once i give it some "gas" or when i lift it off the ground it stops....

My summit has done this since new (4 mos. now), the steering servos buzz a little when I first power it up. I usually attribute it to being in a slight bind when I first power up. I am like you in that once I roll and steer slightly it goes away. I've never thought much about it. I feel like they arent completely in sync when it's first turned on.

Doesn't sound too serious, but I'm sure someone with more knowledge will address it, if it is a problem

Good Point.... and btw I see you are running the DeWalt... what does it do for the car besides torque, more MPH ?

Normal ...the big soft sticky tires don't always co operate. If when you lift the front off the ground they make noise
That is adjustment time.
