Throttle gets wide open when apply brakes - Traxxas Jato 3.3
What's up everyone I recently got back into the hobby. I haven't had a truck in over 6 years but found a Traxxas Jato 3.3 on Craigslist that was in pretty good shape.
The only thing I noticed was when applying the brakes it sounded like the servo was slipping and moved so much that when you let go of the brakes it moved the throttle position to open. I took the air filter off to look in the inlet and it's doing exactly that. Could it just be the screw on the top of the servo is loose? You can see the screw turning when applying the brakes and you can hear a clicking noise when it's going beyond what it's suppose to.
Like I said it's been a while since I've messed with rc cars so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rudy
