ryan you can run cyan -fronts and magenta - rear...that's a pretty good combo for someone with your speed...

also their, plaids and purples works as well...the bigger choice is cyan/magenta

Congrats on the pickup Ryan!!!! Cyan and Magenta is the preferred combo. Plaids and Purples work but Cyan and Magenta is just faster.

Default I need help from the team!

I took my MF2 apart yesterday for cleaning and put it back together again. Now, when I pull the throttle even a little, the steering servo gets glitchy and twitchy. I didn't have this trouble before the tear-down. I've tried a different motor and steering servo. When I pull the receiver away from the chassis the glitching goes away. I have the battery tray rails lined with electrical tape.
WTF changed?

Any help would be appreciated!

John, take a piece of lexan and tape it to the receiver with double sided tape then put another piece of tape on the other side of the lexan and stick it to the chassis. This will give you an insulator. The other thing you can do is take your antenna tube and drill a small hole in it (big enough for the wire) just above where the antenna mount is when the tube is mounted. Then slide the antenna wire in through the hole in the tube and up the tube....this should keep the wire from touching any part of the chassis.

one other thing that I am horrible with is the plugs on the end of your servo/speed control. Check them to make sure that one of the prongs didnt pop.

I have my speedo and receiver attatched to the chassis with velcro and have completely pulled the antenna wire out of the tube so there is no chance of contact with the graphite. I'm gonna try a different speedo and receiver tomorrow. I have NEVER had any glitching with this radio before...I really hate it when something like this happens and there is no rational reason for it.

He called me at 6:45 this morning. He was heading back to bed. He had to take another hit of motor spray to sleep.
