Default Radio System isnt working

So i FINALLY get my tmaxx running up to par and tuned correctly after finally realizing a gas tank leak.

Anyway, i drove it for a good 15 minutes or so and the radio system went dead. I replaced all the batteries and still nothing. I cant figure out why it just quit working immediatly. Anyone ever have this problem or know of any ideas on what it could be??.

thanks..

First of all, check all the batteries. If the batteries are good, check to make sure a wire isn't being pinched somewhere, especially in the reciever box. A pinched wire could cause the radio to malfunction.

check both switches, as well as all the battery connections.
Do you have a light on on the radio? Try to narrow it down to the Tx or Rx and go from there.

the problem is somewhere on the truck then. Try turning the batteries in the holder. Sometimes they can get a little junk between battery and contact and not make a good connection. Other than that get the multimeter out and start measuring form start to end and see where the problem lies...

Well the switch is reading fine, the reverse servo is twitching for a few seconds when it first cuts on, then nothing after that. I also twitches if i pull the plug out of the reciever.

How would i be able to tell if my reciever is bad? Anyway to hook up a voltmeter to that?
