I have heard that putting

I have heard that putting a thin sheet of metal between the servos can help remedy this problem. You would probably have to go a step further and ground the sheet too. Has anyone tried this?

if the problem is that

[color=#000000]if the problem is that each single servo moves OK but both
do not, then check the current requirements of the servo's
and check that the BEC system (assuming you use BEC, i.e.
single set of batteries for receiver as well as servo's) can
deliver.
Check if the servo's stall (too much friction, causing a LOT of
current to flow), or are driven beyond their travel (essentially
the same thing ]

Are you using a AM

Are you using a AM band radio For the close quarters and better transient signal rejection A FM radio set up would work better . Installing resistors on the motor would be of help reducing noise as well Dr Dave

DrDave, don't you mean capacitors

DrDave, don't you mean capacitors across the motor ??
