RE: official smartech buggy thread
I have had very good luck with my electronics for over a year now, with almost a gallon of fuel used up. After a hiatus from missing parts that I now have, I got to driving my buggy again. I found the throttle servo no longer works! I bought a Traxxas servo new for $5 on ebay. Works great. (I am running 2wd too, after being gipped out of the universal joint shafts (#40177))
I also found that I no longer have first gear in my tranny! It stays in second, so is gutless off the line. Anyone know how to cure this? I don't see any instructions on how to adjust the trans, or even what tool is used to do it.
I also pulled the start cord to the end, so now I have to rermove the engine and inspect the recoil. I would like to find a way to install a hex starting recess and get rid of the pull start.
