I know it should go in radio thread but hardly anyone replies in there so...sorry for misplacing this.

TQI radio and receiver on Slayer Pro. After running my slayer today, my throttle stopped responding. Charged battery pack and swapped radio batteries, still no go. Got out my 100% working TQI radio from my tmaxx, did a quick bind, no throttle, put tmaxx radio back. Got tmaxx receiver and popped it in, same issue, steering but no throttle.

Sooo I tried new servos I have, same problem!

I found out, I can make it work ONLY if I power down the receiver, unplug the throttle lead, power on receiver, THEN plug in throttle lead. It will then work until i turn off the receiver and I have to do that over again. So trying another radio, receiver, and servos did nothing. How can different combos of radio equipment cause the same issue...

Yeah I scratched my head too at this one...
 
OK turns out I had a bad throttle servo, and a bad (brand new servo). I tried one from another vehicle and it worked which sucks because I threw away the receipt to the new one. Lesson learned.
 
I'm guessing you have a bad throttle servo....


10 points to me :hehe:
 
Lol yeah 2 bad servos. What are the odds the unused one was bad too. Good odds if its mine! Lol

I'll give you 5 points for the effort since i answered first lol

Honestly it isnt uncommon to see a servo come out of the box dead. Its unfortunate but sadly true...
