Andrew,
I have had a similar problem with Hitec gear and it turned out to be all to do with the BEC supply competing with the receiiver battery pack.

I guess I should have realised ......... BEC can't be switched off as such.

I added an extender lead from ESC to Receiver and cut the 'red' lead (the BEC supply). Behold, no more chattering servos. (at least so far!!)
I confess I wonder about BEC, especially when the power battery is say 7.2 or 12 volt and the receiver is 6 volt. I know it may only be a dropping resistor to reduce voltage, but I wonder about interference from the ESC circuits.

Best of luck

Iain
