Evil_Sheep Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Do you have a failsafe. If not it could be something to do with the voltagte. Get a hump pack. Tower pros use more battery up, so putting the car to full throttle may drain the voltage below the servos working limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boze Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 This is a common complaint with the MG995's. You should really get as high a mah hump pack as you can because they are very high drain. Damo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammybiffa Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Im using 4 energizer lithium batteries at the moment and seem to have cured the probs i had with the mg995. I have had about 3 bashing sessions at 2 hours a piece with no probs.But i do keep the car indoors (keep them warm). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Terminator Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I use a Venom 6v 1200mh hump pack with my Hyper and use a Tower Pro MG995 for steering with no problems.The TP's are quite high drain and it will deffo be sucking the life out of the normal AA's....
