[SavageShaun]

ya i was thinking it may be to tight myself as it seems to be binding for some reason.......let us know how you make out and we will take it from there.......

unfortunatly it did not fix the problem? i have no idea what to do and everybody i asked does not no either... I'm so mad because it was my first nitro.

Can you turn the wheels by hand?

 

[hardmikke6996]

did you tack any of the linkage apart to change the servo and if so maby you tightened it to much and did you replace it with the same kind and same trq
it seams like the servo isnt strong enought

Can you unhook the servo linkage and turn the wheels by hand? (Is there something binding them) Also, do you have the end point adjustments (EPA) turned down on the radio? Finally, is the servo saver too tight? (Where the linkage hooks to the piece with the spring loaded tube/knurled knob) And make sure you use fresh batteries in your rx, but it doesn't "act" like weak batteries.. Hope some of that helps!
PS: Have you lost a dogbone out of the front yet? They like to get lost when you least expect it!! If you havent already, remove the top pillow ball and let the wheel hub pull back so you can remove the dogbone, then put an "o" ring (or 2mm slice of fuel tube) into the drive cup, then re-install the dogbone.. (Do this for both front wheels) It'll save ya from loosing them! Good luck! It's a fun little buggy when ya get it goin!!

yes i can turn the wheels by hand but only when the buggy is off.. if you guys would like me to post a new video i can.. I'm just hoping somebody can give me some information that makes it running again...

I had the same problem. My steering column was broken from a hard crash with the tires turned. Take the steering column out and make sure it is not flexing due to a crack or break. The spring may also be too tight. Take the nut off the top and the screw from the bottom. You may have to take off your top plate to get it out. My tornado is an 07 and still runs like a bat out of hell. Very good buggy. Exceedrc.com has good parts and prices. Let me know what you find.

Good luck.

looks to me like your steering throw is turned all the way down, that handy function is normally for use on touring cars i believe so the cars dont spin out going into or turning out of a turn,

look for the knob/wheel on the controller that controls it.
