How to check a receiver

[harley06]

How can you tell if a receiver or transmitter is bad. I put a Tmaxx together hooked up the electronics and nothing worked. I have fresh batterys checked for broken wires and still nothing.
Thanks

First off, welcome to the forum. :dance:

You'll get more responses to your question if you post in the "Traxxas T Maxx"
section of the forum.
Are you using a Traxxas radio system? In a nutshell,
If you're using the old TQ3 system, you probably have a damaged frequency
crystal. (on Traxxas TQ 27MHz AM radios)

If you're using the TQI 2.4GHz system you probably need to re bind the Tx and Rx.

Good info in the above post.
This thread is fine here, since it's a Rx, Tx problem, but I'll move your "Reverse only" thread to the Traxxas forum.
