Servo Help!!!

[ngirondo]

Hey guys i just got a t maxx off a guy and the servos r really slow to react and move slowly what could be the problem with them? I'm new to the rc world so i have no clue

Are you using alkaline batteries or a rechargeable pack?

All the servos or just one? If it's all of them, then it's probably your battery pack. If your using 4 rechargables in the holder, they won't put out enough voltage to really move the servos well. If your running 4 alkiline's, put in new ones and see if it helps. Best bet is to get a 5 cell rechargable hump pack for it. Then you get 6V's and plenty of current.

Stock servos aren't that fast to begin with.

If it's just your steering servo, then check your pivot balls that the axle blocks pivot on. If the caps are too tight, they cause binding which makes the servo move slow.

I'm using just reg bats not rechargeable and its all of them they move crazy slow lol like the steering barley moves the wheels at all like u said its like they dont have enough power to move them but they r brand new batts i just opened the packs lol

What brand? Energizer/duracell are solid cells that will work for a while. Cheap walgreens type cells won't be able to put out much current. Ok for a flashlight, but bad for camera's and other high drain devices.

ok i got it swapped the batts and they r good now i found out i have another problem my truck is running in reverse lol wtf? how do i fix this i didnt think it had reverse just a break but when i give it gas it goes backwards lol idk what to do

The third channel switch by your thumb should switch the reverse servo if you have one and you have the TQ3 radio.

If you truly do not have reverse (FOC kit installed), then your diffs are both in upside down. Been there... done that... got the t-shirt.
