MY TUCK KEEPS ON BRAKING BY ITS SELF AND THE GAS KEEPS ON SPUDERING. I HAVE BRAND NEW BATTERIES IN RECIEVER AND RADIO, I can't FIGURE WHATS WRONG. HELP NEEDED.

IS MY CRYSTALS BAD OR IS IT THE RECIEVER?
 
look at your throttle linkage is it they way it should or its it look like its being pulled it, that may be the probem.
 
ok remove the caps first of all. please. the next thing is u didnt happen to adjust the throttle and steerin trims on accedent, did u?

later
 
the only thing i could tell you about the brakes is the linkage couild be messed up, but the sputtering could be a tuning problem.

My truck was doing exactly that. I would hit the gas and it would accal and then the brakes would come on full, with the throttle still on full.

Turned out to be dirt (spiiled nitro caused) in my radio circuit associated with the forward and reverse switch in the radio. So when I would accel, it would mal function and put both brakes and gas on. (Totally intermittently, like spikes) I cleaned my radio with computor cleaner and compressed air and the problem when away.

Maybe this will help!
 
Hey Mike, whatup?

Get rid of those weenie batteries you were using and install some new ones. (or a rechargable pack 2100mah)

Oh and see you at the track Sunday! (pasadena, md)
