If you still have throttle control when the front end locks up I would definately look at the servo. I think that most of us are running servo's from KO, Futaba, and JR in 12th and maybe some of the Airtronics stuff in 1/10th.

Hey, guys. I need a little help on getting the SMC 3.7v pack to work in my WGT car. I tried running without a rx pack and the servo would "lock" after about 2 minutes of run time. So, I tried a 2s lipo rx pack and the same thing would happen. Last night, I finally got a 6v regulator (Losi LOSB9608) for the lipo rx pack and the problem was worse. I tried leaving the GTB switch off and just using the switch on the regulator...didn't work. Then I tried both switches turned on and still no luck. I then threw some AA alkaline batteries together to make a 6v pack and it worked for one 5-minute heat then the locking feeling came back in the main......uuuugggghhhh (Charlie Brown style!!)!!! So, here I am pleading for assistance. Here is my set up:
Speed Merchant Speed Spec II
Novak GTB (tried it with switch off and switch on and had same results)
Airtronics FM micro receiver
700mah 2s lipo pack with Losi LOSB9608 regulator
Mulitplex Polo Digi 4 servo (baciscally a digital HS-85MG servo)
I'm going to swap out the servo to a larger servo with more torque. Anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks!!
Troy.

great thanks.
Another question, how many packs do you guys have? I plan on running 17.5, are 2 packs enough?
What amperage do you charge it at? I have an ICE charger and use it charge my TC 4000 Lipos, I assume I should be ok with these packs with this charger.
thanks,

My internet is slow, so i didn't go through the other pages and I'm sure this question has been asked to Danny, but with the release of the new X-Ray, AE alternate chassis, Hot Bodies Cyclone, CEFX, etc will there be a saddle pack for the t-plate chassis, and if so when?

One battery is all that is needed. The ice charger will charge the battery just fine.

12th Scale / 1s / 10.5.... for anyone interested... I gave this a spin today... tons of fun. I ran a 12R5 with SMC 4000 1s Lipo, Tekin Speedo, and battery booster / 88 pinion - 35 spur - 1.90" rear tires. Full eight minutes with no drop in power, motor came off at 125 deg F and battery took 2000mAh of charge after the run.
