got my mt out today to see if i could fix the trouble i mentioned earlier.i noticed that when i accelerate gradually up to full throttle , when it gets to full throttle the servo that does the throttle arm jolts back n forward and the front wheels jolt left n back to the centre

seems like its some dodgy radio interference going on but its been alright till a couple days ago..........

any help appreciated

hi it sounds like your recever has gone i had the same thing on one of my boats and when i replaced the recever the problem ceased

my trucks only 2weeks old.....do u no why this might have happened.

Couple things I would check, cheapest to most expensive. If you are still using AA batteries, switch to a hump pack. If you are using AA batteries, use nihm rechargeables and ditch the alkaleins. I use 2500 mah rechargeable Duracell batteries in my radios and they work good. Standard alkalein batteries run down very quickly and will cause problems.

2nd, did you install a failsafe? If so, try removing it and see if your problems go away. I had a similar problem with a Venom Smartemp Failsafe.

3rd, your receiver could be bad. A bad receiver will do that exact thing like zavzilla said. HPI should replace it under warranty. If you call their support, they may have you try a couple things but should replace it for you.

Good luck, post back.

i am using normal aa but have bought some rechargable ones the other day.n i havent put a failsafe on either....probably should though after hearin a couple of nightmare stories.
so u reckon its a faulty reciever n that hpi will replace it for free............i hope so- have to ring um up sometime soon
cheerz for the feedback every1

i just thought, if it is the reciever, why is it only doin it when i reach full throttle

If you are using cheap AA alkaline batteries, servo glitching will show up REAL quick. All you can do is put in a fresh set, and I bet you will be all set. The #1 first upgradi I always recommend is a rechargable 6 volt 5 cell hump pack. HUGE difference in servo performance, and run time.

i tried fresh ones but it still did it
