Remote/Servo Issues Tornado XP please help!
 
I just got my redcat 1/10 tornado xp and was going through the break in process when my remote control/throttle servo stopped working. when the car is turned on the servo stays in the nuetral position, but when i turn the remote on it immediatly closes the carb completly (which prevents the car from getting gas ie running). THe remote control "th trim" is set correctly and the batteries are brand new both in the car and remote. I hope i did not make a mistake by going with redcat and redcat will help me out. thanks ahead of time for anyone with information!

need to contact redcat and get new transmitter, especially if you have the one with the chrome steering wheel, almost everyone on here with it has the same problem.

hey sorry to hear that your haveing problems with your redcat.. I have the Himoto syclone version of this buggy and i just went through the same problem, the throttle servo quit working too, so i just went and bought a brand new futaba radio system and tell you what its 20 times better than the factory stuff is, if you want to get this its the futaba 2ph 2channel am radio. it comes with everything you need!! both servos recicever and crystals everything.

check into it, just call your LHS for pricing or go on ebay and do a search for hobbyhut ebay store. or go to www.hobbyhut.com thats were i bought mine through!!

How much did you pay for your Futaba 2PH 2 Channel AM radio and how hard was it to install. :) Just curious, just purchased my volcano and from the sounds of things will be replacing out my radio system too.... :(

I must have gotten lucky my radio has worked perfect for me, except when i for get to pull the antenna out and expect it to reach way out there and then it looses signal and runs into a curb or tree, i probly should get a fail safe....[sm=idea.gif]
