Got my rz up and happening and have been riding it.. However it has powervalve chattering.. What is responsible for this.. The servo motor is also very squeaky does not seem to effect performance

pull servo apart and carefully lube the gears, but it could well be the controller.

Or it could possibly be electrical interference of some sort? That can make servos flutter.

I figured the lube should fix the squeak, do the cables as well tho to be sure, and then go from there.

Pulled it apart it was the catual motor that squeaked.. i swapped the motor with a spare dt200 one i had and lubed all the gears ..very quiet now but there is still the slight stutter..just cant hear it as well now.. power valves work as they should
