New Revo with servo issue

[barneyz71]

I have a brand new Revo and just got it broken in and already have an issue. I have a servo 2065 that is just twitching and not functioning properly. It is the shift out servo. The strange thing is the throttle doesn't work at all. I would thing that would be the throttle servo but it is the shift out servo that is twitching non stop. Any advice on what to check or is it the servo twitching causing the throttle no to work?

It was the battery pack in the truck. I wouldn't have thought that 2 hours of driving would run down a full charge.

Oh the REVO's will eat batteries like crazy, you may want to upgrade the battery pack to one with more MAH. I use a 2700 MAH from Ballistic batteries in mine.

what are the lights on the opti drive doing ,if its a solid red you got yourself a flat battery.
it could also be a opti drive issue but I would charge the battery before you worry too much about that stuff . new batteries can take a few cycles to get to their peak also.

Thanks guys, I'm learning quickly. I also purchased a used T MAXX I believe the model is 4908. I have a bunch of parts on the way and will use this truck to learn what I can. I have the old TQ3 controller that came with the truck and I would like to replace it with a 2.4ghz transmitter and receiver. It looks like I can get by with a two channel transmitter with this truck.
