sk1pr@ Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Hi all, Prob taken mt out 4 times now and for no more than 10 mins each time. Last time was Saturday and was cut short by the lack of response from the trigger (acceleration) I took the shell off and thought at first I was missing some sort of collette on the throttle link arm, but I'm not or atleast don't think so. When I pull the trigger it moves fine, but now only once every 10 or so pulls??? I'm confused. Does anyone have a picture of what the set up looks like from servo to link arm inc. spring / locking adj collette etc please so I can double check everything is where it is supposed to be. Is this maybe a servo problem? I have both trims set at 7/10 as I was cautious about the servo breaking, but have the latest version and are metal geared. I know the steering servos are 20kg and I think the throttle one is 9kg?. I've changed both Tx and Hump pack batteries and still same. The steering works perfectly. The breaks have not worked since I've owned it (6 weeks) not very well anyway, but was going to attempt setting them up correctly once fully run in. Am I doing something wrong? Has something come loose? Not got set up right? All ideas welcomed. Many Thanks, Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian w Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Have you checked the servo horn sounds like it may have stipped the splines on the horn. The fact that the brakes don`t work would back this up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hebby Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 If the servo horn is plastic and the teeth on the servo are metal it will prob have stripped. take the servo horn off and have a check its a 2 min job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk1pr@ Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) I will check the servo horn tonight then. Just unscrew lift off and look underneath it I guess. Is there an alternative/hop-up metal one for it so I don't have the same problem again? Edited February 24, 2015 by sk1pr@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martyn_T Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Yeah - I have a Blackout XB which shares lots of components and mine did that after probably same amount of time. Ebay sorted me out with a metal alternative and it has been fine after the swap. (I am newb and learning all the time. This was one of the first things that bust on my XB).
