T Maxx Connection Problem Help!

[Ozarks104]

Hey guys so I'm back from the lake! Everything was working alright until yesterday. I was running my truck in my cul-de-sac and suddenly no control. I about had my truck ran over by a pick up when it left and decided to enter the street. I have changed all the batteries and checked the connections. Everything is plugged in. I never ran it in any mud or water..plus all the electronics are sealed! Anyone have any ideas?

this is what it does:

Ill start it up. Everything works fine. I have full control-steering and throttle, then about 5 min into the run. DEAD. no control from the transmitter. Truck rolls on right away. But it always works for a few mins then dead?

thanks!

What type of receiver battery are you using?

are you using a 2.4 set up, or the older crystal set up ? might check your antenna for a break or crack, sounds like once it gets away from the TX it's losing signal???

I'm using the 2.4! I'll check it out now! Thanks!!!

I'm using the 2.4! I'll check it out now! Thanks!!!

Checked all the wires. No breaks or cuts... the receiver lights up green! So not really sure what it would be?

Ok guys I have no idea what's going on with it. I did a range test with the truck off..everything works..i started her up. It worked fine for about 5 mins. Once it was warmed up it went all carrie on me..it would just not respond and no communication.. It only does it when its warmed up??? Anyone know? thank

Sounds like a connection issue,...after your driving it around it looses connection, or a short

It just looses connection. No short out or anything. But it only happens when the engine is warmed up? I checked all the wires! Checked the receiver too.. I don't know what's going on?
