Just bought a new SH 1/8 Buggy today, brought it home and the TX does not move anything. Checked all connections and still nothing. Everything is brand new and was an RTR. When the RX power is on along with the TX the servos all start going crazy moving all over the place. Any Ideas? It came with Airtronics Mx-Sport TX and Airtronics RX

Try re-binding the Tx and Rx? There should be instructions with your Tx on how to do this.

There were no instructions in the manual. Are you familiar with the mx sport? How do i bind it?

If you're using an FM radio system, check to make sure the crystals are in the right place (TX crystal in the TX, RX crystal in the RX), and that the crystals match (same frequency).

It is still brand new never even been started. The radio it came with has no instructions on how to bind. I bought it at hobby people here in las vegas. When i turn on the buggy it does nothing but once the tx is powered on the servos go crazy. I checked the crystals and everything is correct.

You have to turn on the Tx first - always! Then you turn on the buggy (Rx) - thats why the servos are going nuts.

Then, when finished, you always turn off the buggy (Rx) and then the TX. The RX should never be turned on without the TX being on. This is the 1st thing you need to learn about RC.

This is the rc equiv. of not putting your finger on the trigger of a gun unless you are in the act of shooting it. You just don't do it. Ever.

If you still have problems, take a ride back to the :LHS and have them help you out with it. This kind of thing is why we support our LHS's. Good luck!
