I have a losi bk2 runner that i put together. I am using a futaba T2PHKA radio, novak XXL am reciever with a futaba 75 mhz channel 67 crystal and a novak 410-M5 esc. Also using a new stick pack battery.The radio and battery are charged correctly. I down loaded the insrtuctions for the esc from novak and adjusted the esc correctly. All components are hooked up correctly. The motor is a tamiya dirt tuned (new). When I turn on the power switch for the esc the steering servo goes crazy. I unpluged the steering servo and try the speed control and it works fine. WTF am I doing wrong. Trying to use what I have on hand. Is the esc junk. Here is a pick

Can you be a little more specific about the crazy actions of the servo?

Also, make sure the servo is in position 1 in the rx and the esc in position 2. Lastly, be sure that the power, ground and signal wires are all in the correct location.

The servo starts giong back and forth very fast on it's own. Steering in 1 esc 2.. I am thinking it is the esc .

Do you have capacitors/diode on the motor?

double and triple check your servo connection at the receiver.
