T-maxx losing throttle power

[ksarge91]

I'm in the process of breaking in my maxx and it runs great but every 25 seconds or so it loses throttle response. I can pull the throttle trigger and it won't go anywhere, it will just it there and idle. To get it to work again all I have to do is flip the switch on the receiver to "off" and then back to "on" again and it works fine. When this happens the steering/trim/all the other stuff works fine, just the throttle.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Kevin

so when it does this, theres so response at all on the vehicle? throttle wise? with the body off does the throttle arm move at all?

I'd change you're batteries and check if all the wires are connected properly.

Is this only affecting your throttle servo or do you loose steering as well?

My first reaction is loose the Opti-Drive. They glitch a lot. Then ditch the factory "AA" battery tray and get a receiver battery.
