I already tried a brand spankin new reciever after the one that came with the radio. The new one did the same thing the one that came in the box did, which tells me it's not the reciever's fault. I really think its my hobbywing esc that's causing all the problems. It just seems weird that my scte ran fine the weekend before with my flysky radio. Never ran near water or abused the hobbywing. I do recall when in the a-main using my flysky, the throttle was fine for pretty much the whole run. Just 2wice it went full brake and my truck went 90° (nose down). That may have been a warning sign that my esc was about to go out on me. I won't get to run my scte in this big race my track is having this weekend. I will get to run my truggy though. If i have the same problems with my truggy (nitro) then the only explantion is the transmitter is bad (highly doubt).
