I am having a problem with my braking system on my savage.. After i broke in the engine the brakes were fine but a bit loose.. so i tightned them up just a touch and whenever i turn the brakes lock on. I can push full throttle and the car wont move.. it will just sit there idling with the braks locked on.. Ive tryed many things but the more i turn the car the brakes stop it from moving. inorder for me to get the car working again i have to shut off the battery to the car and turn it back on.. but it happenes every turn that i do, and i know im not going out of range because the car is right next to me when it happenes.

So if anyone can give me an idea on what you think happened please let me know

i talked to him earlier on MSN and i have no clue what his problem is but i wanna add that according to him,

he's running a fail-safe....his battery's are full and he can accelerate fine

the battery is dead. it doesnt have anough charge to handle bith servos, so it stops.........try giving it a full charge.......

sounds like a reveiver or your failsafe is acting up. Start the truck and manualy accelerate the truck by turning the throttle servo horn and see if it accelrates. Try and manually turn the wheels while you are accelerating and see if your brakes come on. Baisically accelerate and trun the truck manually without using the transmitter. It would be a good idea to prop the truck up so that the wheels are off the ground. If this works at least you will know its your electronics acting up. Good luck

he cant charge bcuz he has non rechargable batteries, i was with him, i told him to get the regarable batteris there way better

i had a similar issue with my buggy, it was my fail safe, take that off and try it then. my failsafe was only 2 months old. it just brakes all the time.

failsafes are lame............they are for people who dont know how to keep care of their gear........
