Well evry time i hit the throttle on my truck(engine running)it goes full throttle for like 3 secs and then dies or it sets the throttle to idle then dies.I have no clue what the problem is.It is 8:00 and it is 32* out would that have something to do with it.

Thanks
 
It sounds like your radio is messin up. Try puting new batteries in your car. The colder it is the faster you batteries go out
 
brand new batterys everything works until i start it and it dont always go back to idle it just dies.
 
no i aint that high tech, my failsafe is if i can catch it kick it so it flips or i just watch it go till it hits sumthin....

NOW that the funniest thing I have ever heard when it comes to R/C Iam LMFAO...
OK then I don't no what to tell you sorry lol

I think I just pissed my self
 
Why not tehter it to your leg so you won't have to run that far. Just fall really fast!! LOL
 
i have had it runaway two times on me since i got it the first was it went full speed toward the road.Jumped the ditch and hit a tree on the other side of the road.Then i got turned some how and it started goin down the road.The second time my brother inlaw was running his Nmt2 and he seen mine start going and he just T-Boned it.
 
It sounds like your throttle servo is crapping out on you. Get a new one, or try another servo to see of it stops the problem. Vibrations of a running engine let you know that a circuit board has got a bad solder joint on it somewhere.

I've noticed that if I have a servo that is dieing, that extreme temps make it worse.
 
Why don't you try starting it and work the throttle and steering servoes while the car is on a stand. Try and take note if there is any twitching. Look for meta to mteal rubbing.That will cause a load of glitching to your radio system
 
Well i changed the servo,now i am trying to start it too see if it works..And its is having a hard time so i put a littlw box heater on trhe truck to warm it up...
 
I have a question, i can satrt my truck in the base menyt and run a tank through it and rev it and run it WOt on the stand and then when i put a new tank of fuel in and start it out side i can run it wide open for like 3 secs then it dies..Is it to cold ouyt of what?
 
Dont know the temop at the glow plug(need to invest in a temop gun),Prolly 25*,Tower hobbies brand short plug, and traxxas top fuel.

Thanks
