I havent read of anyone having the problem im having so ill ask here. I just got my mt2 running again and the servos started acting weird. First there was a delay, then after a few minutes it got to where the throttle servo would just spaz out and then both servos would completely stop responding until i unplug the battery and plug it back in. Then it will respond for maybe 5 seconds before it goes dead again. I tried using my dads transmitter and crystals from his savage and it does the same thing. Is it a problem with the reciever?

Did you use different batteries in your dads radio? And is this the first time it has done it? It could be radio interference, or if you used the same batteries in the transmitter, it could be bad batteries. If this is a common occurance, and you used different batteries in the transmitter then it could very well be the reciever. Can you try your dads receiver in your truck to make sure its not the servos? If you can rule out everything else first, then you can tell if its the receiver. Also, pull the cover on your receiver and make sure the antenna hasn't come unsoldered and that the inside of the case is clean. Let us know how it goes. If you do find out is the receiver, call Cen and they should replace it for you. If they wont, let me know and I will call them for you.

if you can afford it it would be better to upgrade to a better radio system so that you dont have to worry about the problem prone stock system.

i was just wondering what radio system you have?
i just bought a NEW MT2 a few weeks ago. and it looks like there were enough trouble with mt2 radio systems.
that they upgraded them. mine came with a IMPACT Cll . and it works fine, but if the batterys are low if freaks out and
does the same thing. i use rayovac rechargable NIMH .
PS: MT2 ROCKS ! i have ran the heck out of it and only broke one body plastic body mount.
