anyone know what would cause crystals to go bad? i have 3 crystals 2 of them gotta be bad i guess, they been in the garage for about 3 days they worked when i put them up. now they don't work i swapped recievers esc's and all kinds of crap trying to figure out what was wrong, i never thought the crystals would go bad from sitting in the garage. i took a set out of another vehicle and all the recievers/ esc's i tryed worked fine. anyone got any idea?
 
is it in backwards maybe??is one the prong things missing??any big dents on them??post a pic of them..
 
no dents, and how do you put crystals in backwards/? and the prongs are there and not loose either.
 
these went bad sitting in the garage over night the truck ran fine wasn't banged on anything i pulled it in garage, turned it off and left it there came back to run it 2 days later and it wouldn't run i couldn't figure it out, tryed diffrence ecs reciever transmitters finally i changed crystals and it worked, but i also have a transmitter tht the throttle isn't working on, only the steering.
 
lol i had the same prob so i just bought a jr xs3 its synthesiszed fm no crystals you choose the channel on the remote and receiver
