Radio/ receiver issue?
Hi guys
Today i was running my rrr with futaba 3pk radio and just the standard pcm receiver 40mhz.
it was running sweet for the 3 heats and up until the first 5 minute pit stop in the final. just after my pit man refilled me and put me down i lost signal to the car and the car had its failsafe auto on.
i tried another crystal and nothing, tried another battery and still no signal.
i came home tried another reciver and it was fine. so i plugged back in the original that didnt work and now its all sweet.
has anyone had this before?? weird

I too believe that to be a fuel spill. It may be a good idea to enclose the receiver inside some type of box or bag to protect it from this.
