Status: offline 		Hey,
I have a odd problem. I thought my receiver went bad in tornado, so I took it out and put the one in my Volcano in it, still didn't work. So I put the receiver back into the volcano truck and now it doesn't work. Both tornado and volcano, doesn't work, when I turn the power on the servo just start jumping, and they dont respond to the remote. Both cars are doing it now. I actually played with the volcano just minutes b-4 I took the reciever out, I had extra servo's and that doesn't seem to be the problem....I'm puzzled. Anyone got an Idea what I need to do??????

Status: offline 		Its very hard to figure out on line because there are so many variables. Batteries or connections are usually the problem. It is expensive bit the best thing you could do would be get rid of the AM radio and go to one of the new systems like 2.4 ghz Airtronics with extra RX and run them both off the same radio. Or use the radio that works best and the new one [)] If you e-mail the guy on that site he will probably wave the shipping

If that works and your steering controls the throttle , switch back.

also -

Check that your batteries are secure and measure the out put of the battery box...6v.

Status: offline 		No don't tighten the fuel tank down, its a little loose because of all the vibration the car puts out. Have you checked to make sure the set screws are tight on your transmission where your dog bonz go in? Might be it no promises
