Thanks for the input guys.
the radio says Sprint on it, the batteries mounted to the truck are charged and reads 6.5 volts.
the antena is nick free and the transmitter batteries are new and read 11.8 on the digital display.
i don't know much about the crystals so i can't tell you if they are good or seated well or anything.
i know this is not a big name truck, but i thought i would try a less expensive one to try before going nuts.
can i buy just a transmitter and receiver and it will work with what i have ?
do all receivers have the same type of plugs for the servos ?
when this truck was working right, it seemed pretty good and responsive. very fast too. i guess the quality is not what you are used to here.
the company i bought it from is helping and is sending some parts to me.
i think i am hooked, so what good named rc truck would you guys recommend ? 4 wd truck or bug or something.
thank you
Dave
