my head hurts - 04-08-2007, 11:02 PM

ok well i cant seem to find a glitch anywhere. but when i start my hellfire it automatically goes WOT. no wires are touching metal. also when i put the glo ingitor in the cooling head and jiggle it around, the both servos go nuts. what could it be?

See if a wire passes by the spur gear got chewed up. Mine would do that.. In fact, turn everything on and roll it back and forth a bit and see what happens.

Did you check the throttle trim on your remote? Sometimes the simplest solutions are the last ones we think of. Doesn't explain the glitching with the ignitor tho.

Take all the radio stuff out of the truck, and test it on its own. Make sure it functions correctly. This way you can start to narrow down the possible causes of the problem.

So let me get this straight. Are you saying that everything works fine and only glitches once you start the engine?
