Hi All, I'm new to the forum after purchasing a Ground Pounder for my six year old son for X-mas. It's been many years since my last RC purchase, TM Big Bear, but I may give up after this horrible Redcat experience. The truck hasn't steered properly nor made any trips outside. Numerous test runs end with fatigued steering response. Redcat sent new steering servos with no effect. Remote is set at 100% D/R and 120% then 100% for EPA's with no effect. Steering barely moves in front and a glitch out of the rear. The Ebay dealer recommended removingthe radio batteries for a few days with no success either. Redcat had me change slots(ESC) on the plugs with no help. I purchased a new nimh battery as well and the radio shows 11.5v. I'm open to suggestions, including buying a Traxxas or just forget about the RC hobby altogether.
dont forget about the hobby friend! its too much fun. sure, stuff break and doesnt always work, but its worth the work.
im pretty famillar with the groundpounders steering and radio system, as it is the same used in the rs10 rock crawler that i own.
are you able to make a youtube vid of the truck trying to drive? if i could see the problem i might be able to help.
does it have any issue driving forward and reverse? or is it just the steering that has an issue?
nothing wrong with buying a traxxas, they make good trucks. but the ground pounder is 1of a kind.
