    AMP MT Kit S6170 Servo Stuttering

    So I got the kit and built it. The stock servo died. I contacted Horizon Hobby and they sent me a S6170 to replace it. I hooked it up and it stutters. When I turn the wheel on the radio nothing happens. Maybe it will respond but not for long before it stutters again. I am wondering if this is a...

    Brushless Motor & ESC Upgrade - ECX AMP

    My stock Dynamite DYN1171 20T brushed motor recently lost a brush, so I need to replace the motor. It’s cheap to replace the stock motor ($25), but it’s also a good time to upgrade to brushless. What’s a decent, low cost (<$100) brushless motor & ESC combo? I’ve heard mixed opinions about the...

    How do you troubleshoot no steering?

    Recently got an AMP DB and after just a few runs I've lost steering! It still goes forward and back like normal though... I was thinking about just buying a new servo, but then I was able to get the wheels to turn when lifted off the ground. Although, this won't happen consistently and I...

    AMP ESC-Rx/Tx Replacement Options

    Hi all, (1st post / newb) I recently picked up a used AMP MT for my 9yo son, to replace a broken “toy” RC. It worked really well for a few runs, and then started to flake out. When I turn on the truck’s power, the front servo twitches but the LED doesn’t turn on, no beep, and there is no power...

    ECX esc failure AMP Crush

    Hi, noob here; I have a new Amp Crush, ran it twice and then issues. On start up the motor turns 3 times with the beeps, every time. No servo action throttle starts up then fails. Batteries in the car and transmitter all fine. I'm guessing the esc is fried? As well as this the gearbox trashed...

    Replacement ESC

    The ESC on my son's Torment burned out (literally, started smoking) a while ago and I need to replace it. I have read a few threads here about upgrading to Goolrc brushless motor/ESC. That sure sounds fun, but I'm a little worried it'd be too fast for him (he's 8 years old.) A couple of...

    Painfully slow acceleration - AMP MT.

    I understood that the ECX amp would be slow in stock form, but what bugs me is that there is no punch at all when starting. No tire spin and very slow build up to top speed. I upgraded to a goolrc 17 turn brushed motor (cheap Chinese ebay motor) and while the top speed is a bit better, the...

    AMP MT complete electrical overhaul.

    So I bought my son (17 yo) his first hobby grade rc for his birthday a few weeks back. I turned him loose in our local hobby and he chose an ECX Amp MT. Not knowing much about rc cars (I'm an airplane guy myself) I didn't realize that this model was on its way out... He drove his truck with...
