if its less than 30 days old you can get a new radio from redcat for free, i would suggest buying a new system, you can get a complete futaba setup for >$50, futaba 2ph. Check towerhobbies.com unless one of the dealers on the forum sells them. The radio systems in the redcats or any rtr, especially the china made ones are not the greatest and know to fail.

RE: what's the problem???
finally i open up the receiver box to check, then i found some water around the box and some on crystal, so i clean it up and use a fan to let it dry, then it works like before, i was so careless that i went in to some water spot yesterday, that's the problem
anyway, thanks for all the advices.

wow, your lucky that the water didnt destroy it, usually it would just ruin the electrics not fool with it like that, anyways glad to see you got it working!!!
