    New steering servo making noise

    I just recently had to replace the stock steering servo in my Amp MT right at a year....understandable. I bought the Spektrum S6180 that was recommended by Horizon Hobby. The install was fine, but now I notice the servo is making a noise like it is trying to rotate when the truck is just...

    Racing the Amp MT in outdoor short course

    I went down to Hillside Raceway this weekend and entered my Amp Blazer in the sportsman class. It's not a buggy, and it's not an sct and sportsman is sort of an open race class. After 2 heats I made it to the A Main and finished with a trophy 3rd place finish. Hillside Raceway is the largest...

    Stock receiver

    Is there anything I can do to somehow use the stock controller or somehow hook it up to my upgrades? I like that controller size and options but as far as I know I can not hook it up since I have a different motor and ESC in my ECX AMP MT now.

    Ruckus won't move

    I have a 1:10 4wd ruckus that I haven't run in a while. The battery pack reads 8v so I believe it is charged I think is a 7.2v. I put new batteries in the controller. When I turn it on, it starts up correctly but it will not go. If I lift it off the ground, I can get the wheels to run. I also...

    Shredded stock differential :-D

    So... obviously plastic sucks.. but did this happen due to a slipper clutch being set to tight? I replaced it with metal gears, I still want to learn though. My friends that put my ECX AMP MT together for me and from what I could tell.. the slipper didn't slip at all so I think that is why it...
