Anton Omnell 10 Posted October 7, 2021 Hi. New to this hobby. I've just finished my dark impact. I'm using a Carson reflex start transmitter, Which has been used with no problem on a M06 alpine with tamiya ecu and a silver can with a savöx servo. With my new buggy I have a Quicrun 10bl60 and a 10,5t Motor from hobbywing. I use the servo, receiver and nihm battery from the m06. Batteries fully loaded. Here's the problem. The car drives normsl and then suddenly the steering freezes with full lock and the car is dead. Fan on ecu spinning. But not possible to run motor. The led on the receiver is blinking. If I turn off the car and then on again. The servo centers and everything works great until the same thing happens again. Really close distance. Maybe 5m from transmitter. Any suggestions?

sosidge 670 Posted October 7, 2021 I'd be looking at: 1. receiver installation, in case the antenna is not picking up the signal from anything other than short distance (either the antenna needs to be made more visible, or has got damaged) 2. NiMH battery, may not be giving all the power the 10.5 motor can demand and dropping too low in voltage, causing the receiver to failsafe. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you solve this? mine just randomly did the same JJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seemed to go past the furthest endpoints on the Tx until it stopped at the internal limiter inside the servo. It ended up breaking one of my steering linkages and bending the other one because it went so far over. And it turned out to just be a bad servo. Not sure what part of it went bad, probably the position sensor pot, but I haven't had any problems since I replaced it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks mate in the end I've chinned it off as it's cheap and nasty and just bought a FlySky Tx for £40 it was supposed to be a stop gap until I found something better which I didn't do while it was working ok JJ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
