RE: Servo Noise
Don't worry about that it's normal with the extra voltage provide by the pack. My 5 trucks did exactly the same thing, all all is good since 4 years

If you are running digitals, they will buzz more than non-digitals because they are constantly triyng to stay onto the position they are supposed to be at. But if you servos ae buzzing reallly loud and you se your linkages bending and twisting, definitely adjust your linkages and tune your EPAs to fix this.

RE: Servo Noise
I feel you, especially about the snow and stuff. Fortunately for me, I am just at the northern end of this massive high pressure over the western part of the US, so it is clear right now, but it does get crazy cold at night. Funny thing is we hit 45degrees F today as our high and when I got home, I bashed a little!

RE: Servo Noise
Can running two digital servos with a non digital radio/receiver cause this problem?-the noise is ok, but when I have my fail safe installed, I turn the radio and receiver on, then turn the radio off and full brake is enabled AND my steering shoots to the left or right and is locked there...is that "normal" with digital servos? I know I have my fail safe set correctly and I've reset it a few times as well.

RE: Servo Noise
IDK, I do know that digital servos on a non-digital RX and radio still function normally, although without all the programming goodies, but I am unsure if they will try to continually buzz as they fight to maintain their position in a non-digital RC.
