Starting HPI Bullet (Updated w/pics)

The bullet uses non rechargeable AA for the servo btw

Was thinking that was a possibility because it was super random.
They shouldn’t be, I’ve only had it a couple days and they were sealed when I got them with the car. But I can try a better brand of battery.

Ok update me if you need any more help I will get back to you

Sounds good, thank you btw!
I just have to do a bit of research on some good aftermarket steering parts the need replacement, then I can get to more testing!

Started it and let it run for a bit with a couple 1/4 throttle pulls every once in a while and no problems, so I’m hoping it was just a random glitch.
Anyway, I’m loving this little truck! Just unfortunate upgrade parts are tough to come by.
I’m currently in search of some new aluminum shocks, but haven’t had any luck.
I also need to find a better area to run in. I want to run it a little harder the next time I’m out, especially with the upgrades I have on the way!

Eh, we’ll I've used a couple other forums for different hobbies and a lot of times the long time members are very unhelpful and sarcastic if you have a question as a beginner that in their mind is something everyone should just know, even if you’re brand new to whatever hobby it is lol

Bro I had that same issue I find that if you go above 15% nitro in the .18 engine the tuning window is so small trying to get it right just to get it started is a nightmare... I find this with all my smaller engines try it bro makes a bid difference
