Default Throttle servo problems??

After taking my car out for a run yesterday, i had run it for abouthalf an hour when allof a sudden the throttle stopped responding, and the car stopped,and when it came to checking the response of my servos, i found that my steering servo was working perfectly, but my throttle servo was only working intermittently. Could this be a dirty connection, or something like that?? Any info would be helpful, thx. It had been working fine before this happened.

A failsafe is some sort of electronic gadget any nitrohead should have on their car. If you lose signal or your reciever batteries get too low it clamps the brakes on. Mine has kept my nitros from running off many a time.



But since you don't have one, I'd try reversing the connections at the reciever. If the problem goes to the steering servo, your radio gear is at fault. If it stays at the throttle servo, then the throttle servo is kaput.
