Hey guys I am fairly new around here and I was wondering if I could get some help with a problem that I am having now. I have just purchased the Spektrum DX3.0 system and I am having issues with it functioning properly. The problem is this....with the truck sitting on my bench and powered up, everything works fine. When i go outside and start up the motor to run the truck its ok for a few seconds and then it goes to full throttle and out of control. It will even go to full throttle if I "ONLY" turn the wheels. My steering servo is the spektrum Z590 race servo but I left the stock throttle servo in the truck which is the AE S1903. I am wondering if it is this servo that is somehow causing this problem or is it possibly the battery pack? I am still running that standard pack that you throw 4 AA's into. Please help, I am going nutz here trying to figure this out!

Rebind and go through the throttle settings (forward, reverse, neutral) again.

this worked for a little while. like i ran the car away from me back to me then away from me and back to me again and while i was turning it around it took off wide open throttle again and no steering. i only ran the car about 50 feet away from me each time and when it took off it was 10 feet away from me. would running the car next to 4 aluminum garage doors have anything to do with this?

Ummm...Which batteries did you actually change?

I changed the 4 AA's in the receiver pack. Actually just wire tied a diff pack on for testing purposes with 4 brand new batteries in it. Nothing special, just your basic energizer AA's and the thing ran a full tank of fuel with out any probs. Much better then what I was getting before. I did check my volts and the original setup was getting 5.4 volts and the new setup is getting 6.6 volts. I definately wanna look into some sort of rechargable setup for the receiver pack but I am not sure which way to go here. I was looking up Lipo stuff and thats gonna be pretty costly upfront.
