Well I got to unpack everything last night from the race out of town and I was eager to diagnose the problem with the receiver in my RC8T/CE. So I put every thing back like it was going into the main and the only thing I had to do was switch models in the radio. I plugged in the 7.4 hump pack plugged in both servos turn the switch on turned the radio on and everything worked normal on the table. No loss of signal, no blinking light on the receiver. I let set on the bench for 15min and constentanly turning the steering and working throttle and break no issues at all. I have not fired it up but I will in the next few days and see how it works. Very strange for sure. Not sure if it needed to reset or something or what. I don't know. I did notice during my inspection at the track that the negative side of my transponder wire at the plug was barely hanging on, not sure if it could have been arching accross to the positive side and causing a short of somewhat and the receiver needed time to reset. I have no clue..
