My 8eight buggy has an ACE servo that it seems to be working fine, HT batteries which were charged just before a 30 min race, and this happened within the first 15 minutes. The carb does not seem to be sticking up. I use Spektrum transmitter and receiver.
This run away happened once last week and then during a race today. The guy at the pit told me he thought that it was low battery, but we accelerated and brakes and it looked fine.
I don't have any way to measure the voltage of the battery since it is a lipo.
Any suggestions will be mostly appreciated.
Regards
Check to see if you have a loose wire or something. If you do, it could be loosing power due to the vibrations when your throttle is open. Loss of power will keep the failsafe on the Spektrum Radio from working. It's only there in case somehow you loose signal.
