Ok well me n my G/f dad was driving around today he has a Savage 21 and i have a gt But my Main point is if u drive a Savage how long do ur batteries last in ur truck. Cause his dies after one niice run. Everything else on his car is fine from what we can see. It seems like the batteries are being use on something else that he doesnt need.

he may have a prob wilth his switch it may be shorting out or there is a prob with your reciver

like when he drives around he steering is fine with a brand new pack of batteries but by the end of the tank its starts to get weak. where would a short be n the truck if he did happen to have one?

Anyplace there is a wire...
Check connections for stray wire strands, anyplace there is a sharp bend or where there is contact with the chassis. Is it a battery pack or alkalines? If it is a battery pack, it might have a bad cell. or if it's a NiCd pack it might have a short memory. Maybe one of the servos is draining.
