Colk71 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Bloody sick, my new TQ2 from ModelSport has blown the battery holder. The one in the car that holds the 4 AA Batterys that go in the screw down box has burned out the springs that hold the batterys and damaged the plug so i cant even unplug it. Was wondering if anyone else has had this problem... Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks it might have just got wet. most people use a 5 cell hump pack so i dont think many will have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colk71 Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 Ive just managed to unplug the battery holder and the plug is not that bad actually. If I had a hump pack would that fix the problem? Or could it be faulty wiring on the model thats caused the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Check the wires have not got trapped in the receiver box lid....it's easy to do and will short the power supply. Also check the switch hasn't got a soaking. Replace with a 6V hump pack if possible as this is a better option anyway....but make sure there isn't a problem first as you don;t want to fry a new hump pack as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colk71 Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 thanks nitroholic - im pretty sure i didnt catch a wire in it. And i havent used the car in the wet spilt anything near it - its been working fine for a week. only when i tried to turn it on today did i notice there was a problem. i think ill phone MS tomorrow and ask them what they think.
