Tried 3 different servo's. 2 Hitec servos make the lights blink crazy and nothing happens I tried a KO servo and it works but it has almost 300oz torque and just barley seems to have the strength to move it but when I plug it into the tester and hit swing mode it slams back and forth like normal? I wish I had another speed control to test this against.. I took every thing apart from my offroad truck and my onroad car and switched and moved everything and the only common I can find is that my servos do not have enough amps with the viper setup..? I think the pro guage was just a coincidence. any one else have a similar problem?
I am gonna try and touch up all the solder joints again maybe I got a cold joint and it is just not delivering the current I need..

I get Tekin at a 60% discount and quit using then because of faulty product and slow return's.Last fall I missed 3 races waiting to get a bad speedo replaced. Every thing has lemons that is why they have return policy's in place, the key is what they do after they have been noticed.

Here is my blitz running a viper esc and 10.5 motor. I have not yet got the esc over 105 degrees.

Good to see a Blitz out there at WC. Last time I was there, I was the only one with an ESE.
FT SC10's everywhere. One or two XXX SCT and a couple of Kyosho SCR's.
Off topic - But would you be able to share your setup at WC.
I was running 35/30 oil, AE Blue/Gold Spring, B/B piston, 30k Gear Diff, 30mm Ride Heigh front/Rear. Also using the Silver 5* front bulkhead.
It runs great and planted.
thanks, Jeff

Well I have tried every thing I can possibly do and come down to the fact that I just have a junk speed control I guess. gonna bring it with me to the track tomrow and see if any one else can see some thing I over looked. But this will be week 3 of our points and I sat out the first 2 weeks waiting to get it and now it does not work..
I am sure it will be worth the wait when I finally get it up and going..
