I have the same experience, give this a try:http://www.horizonhobby.com/products/spektrum-signal-line-voltage-booster-SPMCP
At the time I didn't know, bought another Hitech servo, samething, there is some compatibility issue with this receiver.

I am not familiar with the sr200, but I have both the mr200 and mr3000, LOVE them both, very reliable and if I have a bit of CF in my hull, I would use them over Tactic radio which is the other radio I use on my boats.

BTW, forgot to say: when i had the servo glich, I not only bought a new servo, but I also tried a new mr200, so the issue is non-compatibility between Hitec and Spektrum.

Thx a lot I ordered the part from horizon I hope it fixes it I just can't put a 1400$ cat in the water with the servo jumping around

I had the receiver in my rc gas truck no issues I put it in the cat and it acts up. Also I had to extend the wires for the servo in the boat maybe that has something to do with it as we'll

[tlandauer]

What kind of servo in your rc gas truck? I remember I posted the same question and Hitec seemd the only brand.

[Hor2012]

I'm not sure. it's a 1/5 scale truck. There is no branding on ge servo.

I experienced it when I decided to up grade a Proboat servo to a Hitec, since my LHS carries the Hitec, I just bought one, I couldn't believe my eyes and ears whren I saw/heard the noise and twitch the servo was making! lol...

[Hor2012]

Lol same here. Even without the servo arm If I move it left or right it still does it

Some Hitec servos have gain settings that don't agree with the Spektrum MR receviers.... I would highly recommend using the Spektrum S6010, 6020, or 6030 servos... in place of the Hitec 645's...

Had the same problem with an hs85mg in my JAE 12, dumped the hitec and no more problems.
I've killed more hitec servos than all other brands combined including 3$ digital HK servos in my foamy planes.
Personally won't use them anymore.
