what do you think , servo?/receiver?

Is the receiver battery fully charged?

-WikiLeaks_

Everything is fully charged , tryed to swap batterys but nothing helped

Bypass the switch by plugging the battery straight into the receiver. Switches can fail out of nowhere and give you quite a headache trying to figure out whats wrong.

hmm good idea but how do i do this , im not the best in elctrical stuff so tht is a problem and im going to hobby shop on wed so i dont like to wait >.< grrrrrrr

Bengsch85

Generally the battery lead is plugged into a lead heading to the switch. Then from the switch a lead goes to your receiver. Unplug the battery lead and unplug the switch lead going into the receiver. Then plug the battery lead straight into the receiver. I hope thats easy enough to understand. If not let me know.

I have this truck myself. I got it to have fun and it being different. Just make sure you tune the motor properly or else you'll mess the piston ring up. These motors like to run fat/rich on the needles and its almost a must to run the heli fuel. It has more lubrication since it comes with a higher oil content.

One other to think of is that sometimes if your servos want to glitch like that it can be a sign that the receiver battery is not providing enough power even at full charge. It means that you would have to replace the battery. Im glad its working for you though!!

yes tht is what im thinking i need to tune the motor but th thing is i dnt have experience in such a big engines and i dunno how to , i only had a tamyia one and i have tuned it and it works fine but this one is a monster :/

-WikiLeaks_

something is still crap, i have bought a battery pack so i have a high power in the servos and im sure tht it is working , i have manage to tune the engine as lowest as i could :0 but 1 thingi first i start engine , and then it is working and running as a normal one and after about 20 to 30 second it just constantly goes on full power >.< i have no idea what is going on . i am thinking about puting a spring ( bigger one) into throttle because im a bit fed up with it -.- . i hope someone will help me

-WikiLeaks_

Today im going to buy a new servo (mayby depends if i get it ) and a heli petrol with about 30% of nitro and 20% of lubricants (or more im not sure ) :// lets see and hope its going to work ))
