I have a t-maxx 2.5.

When I press the throttle on the control, the stick between the engine and the servo barely moves, engine rpm doesnt go higher or anything. The brakes pull hard though. I thought it might be weak batteries so I put 4 new batteries in. The steering turns stronger and the brakes are also better but the throttle still doesn't move.

I can pull the stick with my hand and it works fine, but the servo doesn't seem to make enough power to move it on its own.

What is the problem?

Thank You

There also is a weird buzzing noise coming from the servo area. Can't really pinpoint where the noise is coming from. It only happens when I have the t-maxx and the control on at the same time. If i just turn the t-maxx on there is no buzz.

sound like the servo is toasted try taking the servo horn off and see if the servo even moves

if the servo is gone, wouldn't that mean that the brakes also wouldn't work?

I'll go take it off and check it.

Also I just noticed, the metal stick connecting the servo to the blue shaft of the brakes bends a little..i'm thinking that might be holding the throttle back because if it went anymore the stick would break...

thanks for the help

alright i just played around with it and it was the metal stick bending..i got it to not bend and it works fine now

but I still got that buzzing noise, anybody know what that is?
