Servo Trouble
My brother's revo will not shift into reverse. When he switches to reverse on the radio the servo does not move at all, we have checked all of the wiring and even taken all of the arms to the servo loose so that nothing is binding and it still does not work. Is it just a burned up servo, the revo is only a couple of weeks old. When we move the servo manually then the transmission will switch into reverse but the servo will not move unless moved by hand. Any Ideas?

You've likely got a problem with the opti drive thingy (the thing with the red/green/blue lights). Call Traxxas, they'll send you a new one.

Hey rsd4f
Did you follow the instructions about setting up the opti-drive unit?? If you look in the instruction manual, there is a procedure to activate the opti-drive. Check it out and see if that helps. That is what I had to do!
