He had tried:
3 speed cons
2 motors
2-3 receivers
2 servos
various batteries
transmitters
different brand radio completely
etc.
They had physically nearly changed every thing on the truck, but it was the truck.
If it is indoor on carpet, some guys have had "static" issues on dual layer carpet landers or plexi-glass "ice" that was laid out...
That is usually cured with some spray on static guard, or increasing humidity.
It's nice to hear that it's not just me that has problems like this. I am running all metal gears in my transmission so I'm sure that could add to the problem that he was having. Would ceramic diff balls help with that problem? I am getting ready to order some bearings for my T2 I could throw in some diff bearings while I'm at it.
