I managed to run 3 packs through this car yesterday at the Bury track.
I was really impressed on how it ran. I usually race a 4wd (501x) so cant really compare it to the latest and greatest 2wd cars but I was really impressed on how it jumped etc. It only had a 10.5 in it but the car was nice and responsive (I even grip rolled it once)
I was hoping to race it today but it looks like its another sunday washout! :(

It was totally stock apart from Bearings.
Nothing broke or came loose. I was surprised how solid it felt to be truthful.
I then tried out my Mardave Cobra for a contrast / compare..

You need to reverse the channel on your radio set (channel 1) to make the steering work.
If it stutters when you are far away then it will be due to you not getting enough range on your transmitter. You can check that the ariel wire is not touching the motor, check your transmitter ariel is fully extended.

no you need to reverse the channel on the radio there will be a switch or a option in the menus as for the "jumping" i think this is due to the range of the transmiter change the batterys it should be ok

just how far away are you trying to drive the car away from you and what radio gear are you running?

Are you using a Brushed or Brushless motor?
If your using a brushed motor check the brushes are able to move. I had a motor a while ago where the brushes couldn't move properly which caused the motor to spark and stutter.

Had lots of trans/reciever problems with a B3, all worked on other cars, but when switched to B3 played havoc...... changed everything around, new reciever, found the problem to be the carbon in the chassis, our 27am just would not work, changed to 40fm equipment and problems solved, may be of some help, see if you can borrow some different kit.

Seems to me you need to post in the electrics section for help with setting your gear up - it's very easy but you're posting in the wrong section for help with your electrics.
