|  Electrical help Well I've had my WK for a while now but after I started working on it again... i took it for a test run..... For sum reason it edges forward... it does not allow me to reverse... i have no idea why... and the throttle trim can't go any further..... now It's all stock electrics and I was planning on replacing all the electrics soon anyway but..... i just want to know if theres any way to fix this for the time being....What is the source of this problem... radio/receiver or esc?? has any1 else had this problem....... and also the throttle goes when i turn the wheel to the left.:-(:-(:-(  |

| If your steering makes the truck go rather than turn, you might have the ESC And servo plugged in wrong. Maybe try swapping the servo and ESC one the RX. When I got a new ESC (i know yours is stock) I accidentally pluggged things in wrong and the throttle made it turn and the steering made it go. Your problem sound similar, so I thought Id give my 2cents |

| You might check to make sure your throttle trim didn't get bumped. Set the trim in the midlle and turn everything back on again. The ESC self sets, so if the trim is off it will do funky things! Jake |

| I've tried all that..... The battery has been charged and used many times... The wires arent set wrong because i can still control the throttle and steer properly... it just moves by itself (very slowly) without me even touchin it and I've tried to reset the throttle trim... it just doesn't work........  :-( |

I was out crawlin on my back yard trail (I usually just ignore the kreeping...) and unfortunately somehow i snapped a shock in half...... The way this sounds now sounds like the wk is bad but i was drivin it really hard i think it smacked on a rock but i didn't notice it..... I'll try that though..... ill post back soon |

| X2 I got some 100mm shocks from R2J, they are awesome. As for the electronics problem. 1. Someone or something on the same channel as you 2. Transmitter batteries. 3. Is the Xtal the same in the TX as it is in the RX? 4. Make sure everything is plugged in good. Also if you just broke the Shock shaft HPI sells replacements. To get your shock fixed it probably wont cost more than 8.00. I also have a jolt esc forsale if you want it. Last edited by Shaun; 12-22-2007 at 01:34 AM. |
