First let me say thanks in advance to anyone that can help me solve this problem.
I haven't had a chance to drive my LST in a few months due to coaching my sons Football team and his am my daughters track team. Close to the end of track season my brother's wife bought him a Revo 3.3 for his B-day. He challenged me to a race. Well that was cool with me, I had just had a new LRP .28 Spec III put in the LST about 3wks before. Everything was fine during break-in so after break-in I put the battery packs on charge and left them (they were left on charge for almost a month). (Here's the Problem) Thursday I some free time so I wanted to bash. I unplugged the packs and took the truck outside for some fun. I turned on the Radio and the throttle servo started twitching and when I tried turning the wheels nothing happened. I checked the voltages with my multimeter and the transmitter read 10.8volts and the receiver read 4.4volts. Can anyone tell me what the problem is? Please tell me I don't need to buy another Radio for my LST. Sorry for the long post.

I dont' think your radio is fried, i think it's your batteries. Make sure there is no interference with your radio....then try new batteries.

I agree, it's probably your batteries. Checking batteries with a multimeter is useless unless they are under a load. Even if they read their full voltage (and they sound low - especially the rx) as soon as they are put under a load the voltage will drop
