Buggy steering by ghosts

[jimmy]

I was real happy with THEcar yesterday, getting 8th in the A final grid in my second time racing a nitro and first time in 3 years or more. But unfortunately I had to retire from the A final after a little over half way because there was some 'madness' going on.

Basically it seems when I put the throttle on the car steers right, but ONLY when the engine is running? What's that all about? I just tested the car now to see if it was the same - tested it with the engine off and all was fine, engine running however and the car violently steers right.

:cry:

Sounds like youve got a noise issue Jimmy. Have you got another receiver to try??

OR Have you accidently factored in some throttle to steering mix in the tranny??? Ive seen that before!!

Tried my backup receiver - same everything and it seems to work. So - I guess the receiver is badgered. If the case wasn't glued together (don't ask!) I'd crack it open for a look. Might be just the aerial wire fallen off or broken somewhere along its short length maybe?

make sure you wrap Rx in some foam helps stop vibrations,

i wouldn't mention too much about having a short length on the open forum mate :)

First time I've seen your performance blamed on a ghost, as opposed to 'forgot glasses', 'was razzed' or such like.

or the purple hair!! But your probably right Jimmy sounds like the rx is goosed!
