quinnlouis Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Got a ripmax jackal brushless using a Hoboa ht2.4ef tx and the steering won't move but can hear it but I feel it's the tx an maybe pressed something on it any ideas please.

NuttyProfessor Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 check the steering EPA and the dual rate and make sure you have the switch in the right direction. The little buttons by your thumb, hold the top one until the bottom of the 2 LED's goes red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I'm still learning lol @NuttyProfessor can you simplify it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuttyProfessor Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 mate, you have 4 dials, top 2 are steering EPA left and right, turn them both to the right to give max steering throw then hold the top button of the 2 where it says ST D/R near your thumb when you hold the controller. 2 led's between the RF test and F/S buttons, bottom led is for the ST D/R, it will go red when it maxes out after you hold the button.

quinnlouis Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 Still no joy. I'm convinced it's the controller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuttyProfessor Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 have you got the plugs in the right way and got the steering plugged into ch1/ST? Does the RX light up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quinnlouis Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 Yes it will go back and forward as it should Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuttyProfessor Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 take a pic of how you have the controller setup on the dials. Straighten the wheels and see which way the wheels turn when you power up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NuttyProfessor Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 did you hold the INC button until the bottom LED went red? Can you move the servo when everything is powered up? Have you got another controller on another vehicle to plug the servo in to see if it powers up? Could be a failed servo, ive had a Core RC one that was dead on arrival.

quinnlouis Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 Doesn't move when powered up and yes I left the UP stdr till went red. Do you think the servo is broke if so then how do I make sure rx is ok when I fit new servo as I have pressed few buttons etc to try an sort it out.

NuttyProfessor Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 if you have a different Rx in another vehicle, unplug its steering then plug the servo from the jackal in the other vehicles Rx. Unless you have a dedicated servo tester or another Tx and Rx, you wont know. Could try plugging the ESC into the steering channel in the jackel to see if the motor spins up using the wheel and plugging in the servo on the throttle channel to see if the trigger turns the servo.

EvilSalty Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 My daughter servo broke last week (ripmax). I saw it happen, she must have hit some lumpy air or something as it just died when going slowly. Replacement was only a few quid though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
