Ah I see. I hope it's not that as it's brand new and only done about 2.5 tanks. Weirdly though, for a brief 3 or 4 secs the wheels stopped while turning back the handset TH switch, then it stalled. Surely that wouldn't point to a clutch problem? I'll have a look tonight though I think. Many thanks for the reply. Adrian

I'm having the same problem with spinning wheels. Reducing the throttle or turning the LH button just causes it to stall. Phoned HPI who who really helpful and suggested it's the throttle servo. I honestly can't see how it could be as the throttle is fully "off" and a servo couldn't push it any further in at all. I'm going to run a few more tanks and hope it loosens up so it will handle a lower idle speed I think. Anything seems worth a go! Happy to try any other suggestions of course. Adrian

Thanks I'll give that a go. It's as it was straight out of the box and I was a bit reluctant to start playing with needles until someone more experienced advised me to do so. It'll have to be in a day or two now though due to work! Thanks again. Adrian

Hi I have just joined up and tried searching for an answer but with no joy although I'm sure Its here somewhere. I had a Trophy Truggy for Xmas, and after managing to get it started, it seems to want to rev like a nutter unless the brakes are applied via the transmitter. Even with the throttle adjusted fully in and the adjuster on the transmitter turned back. If I release the trigger the thing starts to go mental even though the throttle servo does not move, the brakes are realised though. Any help is massively appreciated as I'm yet to get the drive it of course. Many thanks Adrian
