Hpimt2 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Hi I have had my nitro car for a few years now and I got it out today and everthing was fine it starts and runs no problem however the cars steering and throttle doesn't work off the controller the controller itself works fine it's the electrics on the car that are at fault can anyone suggest what could be the problem otherwise I will just have to replace all the electrics which I don't want to do many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimpeh Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 If you are 100% sure it's not the controller next thing to do is work from the cheapest option up.... I assume you have a 27/40mhz radio set so check crystals / batteries in the system. Then battery box, the servos (I doubt 2 would fail but ya never know) reciever itself (at this point probs cheaper to buy a new radio set ansmann do a 2.4ghz set for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hpimt2 Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 Yes I have checked the controller and have put brand new batteries in everywhere how do you check the crystals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hpimt2 Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) Is this the set if so it looks like a good buy to me I have bid on a hpi mt2 on ebay without an engine so if I win I will use this as a parts car but if I do not i will go with this kit http://www.wonderlandmodels.com/products/acoms-techniplus-2-channel-radio-27mhz/ Edited July 14, 2013 by Hpimt2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hpimt2 Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 Also will that kit be a straight forward swap or is it more complicated than that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xHaldenby81x Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 (edited) The one you have tagged is a 27mhz set up, what you really want now days is a 2.4ghz tx rx set so you don't have to worry about crystals n interference, the one that chimp pointed out is a good cheap set but if I was u I'd go for one with end point adjustments so u dont blow ur servos by over straining them, and save money in the long run .... Something like this good starting block http://www.modelsport.co.uk/absima-cr3p-afhds-2.4ghz-3-channel-radio-system/rc-car-products/372690 unless you want sticks then here's that option http://www.modelsport.co.uk/core-rc-code-2.4ghz-3-channel-fhss-lcd-stick-combo/rc-car-products/38217 Edited July 15, 2013 by xHaldenby81x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hpimt2 Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 I understand what your saying however I want to get rid of any problems as my controller is not at fault and Im trying to get back into my nitro car before I start spending money on it also I am planning on keeping it as standard looking as possible so any mods in the future will be to the servos and transmitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
