I was driving my buggy today and i lost power to the servos (failsafe on the way) luckly it was just over idle. so i caught it and shut it off. When the engine is off the servos function fine, but as soon as you fire it up, it has a mind of its own. so i checked the receiver and batteries, all connections looked fine, the batteries are new.

The same thing happened to Deano on friday, he took the receiver and unplugged everything and plugged it back in and it seemed to fix the problem, even though he said every thing looked fine

Any ideas (maybe deano and i are dumb)

did you check the actual reciever, try a different one maybe there is something wrong internally

I had the EXACT same problem today at Bayview BMX. Fine when the engin was off, but no service when fired up. This was on my T-Maxx, so maybe that explains it

hydro field!!!!!...supernatural stuff!..

do it...do it now...go on do it..do it now..and you'll see
that its working fine

lol

and if thats not it..I've heard that ground problems have been known to disrupt the electrical...and its the hydrostatic made by the engine...
I'd look at that if it becomes a regular problem

Check all metal things on th engine..including any spacers and bearings..
Check all screws taht go into metal..becasue there is abviously a vibration issues that only hapens when the engine is on...check everything that screws into metal..and especially the clutchbell and spur gear area...

try wraping your reciver in foam. this should absorb the vibrations from the engine, if that doesnt work, buy a new reciver, hah

spond · 11-01-2004, 01:42 PM

OH..check the exhaust manifold rubber bushing..if it is gone, then you have real bad vibration when the engine is on...
