Well about 2 years ago I got a Hyper 7 PBS/PCR from RC Mushroom along with a Futaba 3PM-FM radio, Hitec HS5945mg steering servo, and a Hitec HS645hb for throttle/brake. I ended up only running about one gallon and then some fuel through it and I broke a shock shaft. So it sat for 2 years since I was busy with my 1:1 car[&:]

I just ordered some shock shafts and a rebuild kit and a set of springs from Tower(finally) so I'll get it up and running soon Now that I'm a line tech for Dodge, I can actually afford cool stuff[8D]





As it sits now(new set of tires from a friend that races, he let me use his "old" tires)

Great to see your back into the hobby . Its good to see you know what your doing too... its pretty clean and you have organised wiring . Oh yeah and a clean air filter. So many buggies that I've worked on when I worked in a hobby shop were just fubar. Air filters were clogged as clogged as one can get and you just see wires all over the place with splits in the insilation. Thats not to mention the blown engine and using zip ties to hold the broken suspension arm together.

Thanks for the compliments! I also have an Airtronics failsafe packed in the rX box

Haha yeah I absolute HATE working on dirty cars. At Hall Dodge, whenever I get a huge lifted Ram with enormous swampers and covered EVERYWHERE in mud, I'll just turn it away and tell the customer to wash it off or depending on the job I'll add labor.



I have a quick question:

I remember before the buggy was put into a temporary retirement, every so often(it happened like 2-3 times) my steering servo would just "freeze" somewhere random while it's turned, and then go back to normal after like 3 seconds or so. I WOULD tear it apart and try to diagnose the problem myself but laydown servos are a huge PITA to work around. I'd like to know if anyone has seen this before or not.

are your brake discs rubbing cuz it looks like there is no play in them

Only things I can think of is something binding in the steering or a bad servo. Try a servo that you have just laying around even if it has very low torque and see if it still does the same thing.
