Installed the 12 batteries, loaded it up with white lightning fuel.. and it turned on perfect... idle was way high though.. so immidietly i shut it off... but thats not the problem... when i turn the radio on and turn the radio box on the car on i cant turn the car wheels... it isnt communicating... the car has an rx crystal, but the radio has none... is that the problem???

the radio needs a tx crystal...If it doesnt have a crystal then yea...thats your problem...throttle probably isnt working either then?

if thats the case the throttle deffently isn't working
just ask your hobby shop for either a new set of crystals or a tx and your frequency.

well yah i dont think it was the throttle, i was following tht directions ... two drops of fuel in carb... i might have left it WOT... dont remember it happened quick

do u servos work or not.
if they work then don't worry about it.

thats the million dollar question... i wont know until i get a matching set of crystals to test em... I will post up later today... heading to LHS to get some.

your remote may be on "reverse"

come on guys, it's simple. No crystal, NO WORKY. Even if the servos were straight out the box, they aint gonna do **** in this case. Take out your TX crystal and try it.

well it is all up and running now... tuned the carb, and finally got consistencey on every start... break in went like this... idle till hot, turn off, move piston to bottom, cool. x 3
then went straight to driving, short WOT runs, and repeat the cool sequence. now it runs great after about 6 tank fulls.
