yeah !! got it going
i did receive the new transmitter and receiver and was shocked when that did not fix it. the store (website) i bought from and i were convinced that was the problem. after checking all conections and new batteries it did start working a little bit, but every time the truck started, the servo would start acting up again. i switched cables with the reverse servo and started the truck and did confirm that my problem gets worse when the truck is running.
i swapped servos and had a blast with my truck today...........
i still need a new servo now for reverse, but the thing is running.. yeah !!!
the guy from xtreme did tell me (before i figured out the problem) that i should send it back to him and if he confirmed the problem was legitimate and not my fault he would have covered my shipping expense and shipped me a new truck. to me, this is rare to find and i have to say it was good dealing with this guy.
thanks again or all your help.
