No - I do not need to change batteries. In fact, I replaced batteries twice and I am replacing all of the batteries with new.

The point is - my performance on my truck is also suffering. The transmitter seems to work fine, but the truck slows down after just a minute or two.

Here is what I think:

1. Perhaps there is something wrong with the transmitter. Not supposed to be seeing two color lights at the same time (unless the batteries are dying).

2. I also think my NIMHs need cycling. They are a few months old and I charge them on an Onyx 230. No cycling.

Comments? Anyone else seen this issue with their Spektrum?
try a brand new battery(maybe borrow one) if that doesnt fix it something wrong with the receiver or radio.

Horizion has very good customer service. After you try a new battery and if that doesnt fix it call horizion customer service. They will tell you what you need to do.
