Status: offline 		After getting the engine goin after 3 months of nothing, I really want to run this thing! But the electronics are acting wierd. I am going to get a new on/off switch tomorrow, but I think it could be a reciever problem.

basically what happens is that sometimes it works when I start it, but within 5 seconds it just stops responding. Its not low on battery, since when it does move its just how it should be.

Any ideas?

Kyle

I'm still a bit afraid its gonna quit when Im running, but it was fine for a few hours (opposed to a few seconds before) so I think its alright.

More good news: the engine is doin great!

Status: offline 		I was running my rs4 3 yesterday and had the same problem with my throttle servo, but only the throttle servo, steering worked fine. I charged the battery pack and now it runs great. I guess it was low.
