The throttle/brake servo on my lst2 seems to turn backwards as soon as i turn on the truck. While not running but "on" the trucks brakes are locked up, when u power off the truck the servo relaxes and the brakes let go.
When you give it gas (while running) the servo moves in the right direction but its not enough. I've checked all the settings on my controller and everything seems to be right.. Anyone have ANY advice, I'm really new to nitro and need some help!! Anything would help!!
 
Sounds like you need to reset your throttle/brake servo's "arm".. (plastic arm that connects to the servo via a screw, and attaches to the throttle/brake linkage) What ya need to do is remove the screw and arm, then turn "on" the vehicle's reciever and transmitter, then set the throttle "trim" (on your transmitter) to 50%, then put the arm back on the servo, while the throttle "linkage" is at a neutral setting also.. (Ya want the carb. to be closed, but no brakes being applied) Finally put the screw back into the servo's arm and see what ya got!! :)
