Default Throttle servo won't work on my buggy?

I just got a new XTM X-terminator buggy last week and everything was working perfectly for the first tank I ran thru it, then yesterday while tuning the engine, I gave it some throttle and then all of a sudden I got no throttle response or brake at all, nothing. The steering still works fine, just the throttle stopped doing anything. I checked the plugs to the receiver, batteries, etc, and everything looks good. Has the servo just quit altogether, or is there something else I should check before I try to get this fixed under warranty?

Thanks for the help.

You're saying the servo doesn't move when you use the throttle/brake?

Swap the channels on the receiver. Put steering servo on channel 2 and throttle on channel 1.

Which one doesn't work now?
If the throttle servo doesn't move when you turn the wheel, then it's the servo, either internal or lead wire or connector.

If the steering servo doesn't work when you pull the trigger, then it's the radio. Either Tx or Rx.

Let us know so we can go from here.

Thanks for the help...Switched the plugs in the receiver and the throttle servo still doesn't work when putting into the steering slot and moving the steering wheel. So I put a new servo in and everything works now. Hopefully this servo will last more than a day now...

Thanks.
