Managed to get hold of a tqi transmitter and reciever on ebay and all is finally well, thanks again for the advice.

Aerial seems fine will try another receiver/transmitter first and if it's still an issue am I right in thinking the ESC could be kaput?

No it's not new unfortunately. Il check the aerials condition to see if that could be the cause. Then if that fails a process of elimination needed to get sorted ....thankyou for the advice appreciated

27mhz transmitter. Yes set the trim to the neutral position and yes recalibrated the esc.

Having some problems setting up a traxxas slash with XL5. I have had it running but still not right have had no problems reseting the esc and programming it but once done when I put the transmitter into reverse sometimes it just goes full forward throttle. Have reset and re connected the transmitter but still having this problem. Could this be the transmitter and reciever at fault. As you can probably tell I'm quite the noob and any advice would be greatful ( I have searched endlessly with no avail up until now) Cheers Dave

Il go read up some more I think thanks for the info

Help!!!! Having purchased the above charger and attempting to charge my 8.4v 4200 power cell Nimh battery I'm only getting 10-15 mins charge in it before it says full. Being new to this I can't seem to solve the problem!?? I've set the charge to 3A, is this to high? Tried another battery and had the same problem. Cheers Dave

Cheers il have a look

Looking at getting some 8.4v Nimh 5000mah batteries, can anyone recommend a good supplier and also looking at a charger was looking at the overlander being new to the whole thing seems there's a lot of different makes and models all very confusing

Thanks for the replies on looking around I like the look of the Slash Traxxas bit more than I wanted to pay but all the reviews/posts seem to confirm it's durability. This however is not really a small boys toy but let's be honest the whole buying it for me and the boy thing is a good smoke screen for I want one I want one

Hi All Just after some advice.... I'm looking at getting an RC for me and my 6 yr old son (ok mainly me) but on looking on the web for sometime seems it's a mine field of makes and models. I'm looking at something robust which will stand upto a bit of abuse and ideally no more than
