Hmm.. I think that the antenna is touching the TVP's which are metal :/. Im using a synthesized transmitter/receiver, so no crystals to check :) The servo is fine, the transmitter batteries were just replaced (shows 12.3 volts) all the capacitors are in place, so it must be the batteries. I'll cycle them a few times and if that doesn't help, I'll transplant a receiver from a different car real quick to test it out. It's too late to try anything out though, so I'll give an update tommorow.
