Revo 3.3 electrical problems
My Revo quit responding to controls. I charged the receiver battery and then just got a red light on the opti drive. Now I have nothing when I turn on the receiver battery. No lights on the opti drive control unit and no servo response. The batteries are good and the connections/wires appear intact. Does anyone have any ideas?

yeah could be alot of things they said, sounds like somethins broke switch, receiver ect... maybe you could check some stuff with a voltmeter to see if its getting any voltage..

Yep.....sounds like its probably the opti drive itself that went bad. Either that or it could be the receiver. I would try swapping the receiver first just so hopefully u can rule that out as a possible cause...

tRY BYPASSING YOUR ON/OFF SWITCH FIRST. tHEY ARE KNOWN TO GO OUT OR GET CLOGGED WITH GRIT AND NOT MAKE A GOOD CONNECTION. jUST PLUG YOUR PACK STRAIGHT TO YOUR RECEIVER. iF THAT DOES NOT WORK BYPASS YOUR OPTI TO RULE IT DAMAGED OR WHATEVER. Sorry for the caps...
