I have a XTM X-Terminator and i was bashing it around without the body on and did slide. After the slide it seems that the steering will respond to the transmitter but the throttle will not. When brake or accelerate the car will not respond.

does the servo move? if it doesnt then then check all the connections and if it still doesnt move get a new servo cos its knackered. if it moves and still no throttle or brakes check all the connections between the servo and brakes/carb

ALSO...Double check your FailSafe(If you have one)
It may be engaging when you dont want it too, Reset it to your idle position

I checked the connections on everything it still wont work, thanks for the tip though.

also, if i pull the servo back which opens the carb, then i hold down the throttle, they servo will stay in the place that it was when i held it back and when i let go it goes back to brake. So its showing that it will respond, but its as if its not strong enough

Check the wires - if there is even a small scrape/rip in one of them that can cause the problem as well. If is was the stock servo then I agree it is probably toast and time for a new one.

What part of Virginia are you from?

I had the same problem this week with my HYPER 7, it turns out my HITEC servo went bad. I put in a new one and it fixed the problem.

Does the servo work if there isn't anything connected to it?

Ok, I checked everything, i think its either time to send it back or to buy a new one.


I live in Falls Church VA.

Falls Church --- isn't that in the D.C. area? Any places to race up there?

yeah around there, no places to race that I know of. I wish though

I saw a post somewhere on this site a place in Phoenix, MD ---- www.nuflear-rc.com You may want to give them a try. What interested me is that they have a race on June 5th - but it looks like it is for members only (don't know why). It's not too far from you - give them a try.

crap!! I just looked and it is www.nuclear-rc.com -- its Monday a.m. and my fingers are slow

ok thanks, i look into it
