Status: offline 		i was giving my revo a cleaning today. turned it upside down to get some dirt off. i went to start it up...nothing...no controls. i was then thinking that maybe my on board batteries were dead. so i did the usual charge..nothing. i checked for any cut wires, loose plugs into the servos...i'm coming up clueless here. i don't see anything wrong. any suggestions what might be going on or what i'm not doing? it worked just fine yesterday...

oh, and just to point out, i have the stock controls.

Status: offline 		hmm sounds like a crystal problem, did you get them wet? take them out and blow them off and re-install them. Does the reciever come on?

Status: offline 		if it's a pinched antena wire, does that mean i got to get a new receiver. that could be a possibility since i did turn it over. won't be sure till i get home from work to inspect it

Status: online 		This one does definately sound like either a transmitter problem or a receiver problem, but its probably more likely something with the transmitter from the sounds of things; especially if the light on the receiver comes on nice and bright....

no, a new rx would not be needed
maybe a new antenna wire

but a pinched antenna wire will not usually
cause complete non-responsiveness either
loss of range and bad glitching but not no response at all

Status: offline 		check your connections on the rx you might put it in backwards or not on the right place.

Status: offline 		well, i checked out the antenna and i see that i have 2 small pinches. i borrowed my friend's receiver off of his revo, plugged everything in using my crystals and radio and all worked just fine. i then hooked up my receiver after attempting to straighten out my antenna and i noticed that the steering servo glitched a little bit. so i'm guessing it's the antenna since i did turn it over for cleaning. the wire must've pinched while being upside down. can i just solder a new antenna wire into the receiver or do i have to get a brand receiver all together?
