Default Radio problems.

Well, tomorrow WAS going to be the first time for me to run both trucks. The radio on the new truck is whack[:@]. When I turn it on the throttle goes haywire and I have isolated the problem to the radio. The truck is second hand (but just barely), will HPI replace it or will I have to buy one?

Swap crystals with the other, maybe thats the only problem. A new set can be bought for very little on ebay. A friend of mine is using crystals from the radio shack Xmods rc cars and you can get all 6 frequencies for 20$ i think, always good to have spares on hand.

Well I called CS and they said ship it back and they would fix/replace it. Do I need to send a receipt with it because I forgot to ask? Oh yah I don't have one[] the Savage is second hand.
