Default Help TLT not Responding?

Well after I run mine for two batteries worth in a row....

My rear servo starts twitching all the time its a Hitek 303 or 308

Plus my truck last night just didnt want to respond to reverse or forward...

I have a Novak XRS like this http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...XGNG5&P=ML

I feel it is just warm, but not hot to the touch.

I am running a 15th pinion and a 83 or 87 spur I forget...

I bet your two servos are taxing the ESC. Try running just the front servo and see if it still doesn't respond. Make sure your batteries are fully charged as well.

Plays... thanks but its not the batteries....

It must be the ESC.... Didnt start doing it till I added the wieght of the BB's so I am guess the Servo's are screaming for help... after running for a long time...

Will do on the servo thing... Funny thing is though its just the rear that starts twitching the front is fine....

are you running your servos off the battery pack? if so you might want to consider running them off a seperate battery pack like in nitro powered cars. When you add a second servo some batteries have trouble powering everything. Are you using a 1500 pack? that what i was running when i added my rear servo and all i could get out of it was twitches and the occasional turn so i switched to a 4 AA pack and ive never had the problem before. They sell rechargable packs for this purpose but i just got a battery holder from radioshack and used the servo wires from a dead servo.

If you do what plays_with_toys says and it works with one servo this is probably your problem.
