<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: larger;">Hi I just bought a Jato 3.3 on eBay and I got it to run okay but now the trigger does nothing to the throttle servo, I've replaced the batteries and the steering moves fine, but the throttle is non exsistent. It used to move but now it doesn't really do a thing, it does brake though. I've included apicture; I've compared mine to my friends and their servos look a lot different. It seems mine is set wrong, but I have no idea how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!</span></span>

When you pull in the throttle does the carb slide not open? Or does the servo not even motion at all when you pull in the throttle?

Okay so after talking to a hobby guy at the store, I purchased a new servo. I just got it today and put it in, to my dismay when I attempt to turn the car on, nothing happens. The batteries are fresh and before I worked on it the car would turn on and I could at least play with the steering. Now I have nothing. It doesn't even twitch when I switch it on, so I don't think it is my remote... I even put the old servo back in, and again, nothing. Please help me! What could it be? Thanks again.

Are any spots on the battery box corroded? Try getting a new battery box. I'm pretty sure they're only 5 bucks. I think the battery box comes with an on/off switch. And make sure the cord for the batteries going to the receiver is nice and tight on it. And like moe7404 said, make sure the crystals are nice and tight. But yeah, your receiver might me fried.

The battery box seems fine, the crystals are tight... I will have to try a friends receiver, or take it into the hobby store. Thanks guys.
