I have it hooked up to what i believe is the correct way, but the servo just jitters back and forth, i can turn right and it'll go back to center for just a second then just go haywire again. Ugh, anyone have pics of the proper wiring arrangments. HELP

sounds like the servo pot is fucked, mini z pots are the same size and value.

New servo pot, same problem. Is my whole pcb fucked?

You really gotta have that servo pot strapped down solid. Even in a Mini-Z front end where it's wedged into the plastic housing, I've had to add shims and tightening screws to get rid of jitters.

I don't know if this is any help, but I seem to remember centering the pot on the ZZSE helped to cure the jitters.

So 2 years later, ive decided to try this mofo again. Anyone have any pictures of the proper wire hookup from Epoch steering elec's to the mini-z pcb?

hope this pic is self explanitory.
you only need 2 wires from the pcb to the servo pot. you will also need to use the epoch pot as it's slightly a different shape. the miniz pot won't stay firm in an epoch chassis.
this could be the cause of your initial problem.
