Here is a link to the thread http://www.ultimaterc.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2153018#post2153018 Okay ill see if i can get some studio footage done explaining what happened with but you tell them that basically i was running on smooth grass and my servo couldn't find its center point. At this stage i decided to turn the car off in the hope it would resolve itself unfortunately when i switched the back on the car decided to go full throttle with no input from me so i quickly grabbed it and switched it off again. I then turned it on again after leaving ti for 5 mins and the esc and servo both went up in smoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 My GV Cage smoked two ESCs, at this point I decided to change the servo as I couldn't see anything else that would cause it. It never smoked another ESC after that. Just thought I'd mention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankyou for that my friend that maybe the case i have contacted hobbico Uk and they should be getting back to me soon they said that the likely hood is that they will replace the electronics or give me a replacement car but nothing is for certain so its just a waiting game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Modelsport did ask for the car back, but I figured I'd just sort it myself, who wants a stock servo anyway? They're always crap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mydoddy69 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Perhaps Hobbico have turned over a new leaf then ?? The only dealings i have had have been for the MT4 and that was god awful service .. I did read somewhere that prior to release of these everywhere apparently had stocked up on spares !!.. not sure if the conversation was just regarding the US market or everywhere ?? .. Modelsport don't show any spares available at the minute thou .. Perhaps this is to cover any warranty claims if so this would show some of the higher companies like hpi or losi the way to go !!!!.. But it also could be there expecting a lot of claims as their brand is a little fragile !! which would be a crying shame.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
