The stock servos are crap. If they sent you a new one, it won't be long until that one dies. Upgrade to a Hitec 645 or a 5645 for throttle. How are the steering servos?

Did you install the kill switch? Or do you need helping installing it?

Here are some vids, in case you need help...

If your steering servos are fine, just run them until they die and then upgrade. Considering the weight of the MT Pro, you'll be better of with two Hitec 5755's. As far as the servo going full throttle, I'm thinking it's your failsafe. You probably had to reverse the throttle channel when you installed the 645, which reversed the failsafe. So, just reset the failsafe and run with a fully charged battery to avoid further issues.

Here's a vid that covers resetting the failsafe. Skip to 1:59.

Well i had a huge crash because i started the engine on my XSC NOT THE RECEIVER, then i turned on my radio, then the receiver and the car took off and crashed so my shit isnt covered by redcat cause i was the idiot that didnt turn the radio then car then engine. So i bought a super bee on top of my fail safe, double condom! This crash cost me 250 dollars, but the question i have is the throttle servo is twitching is this a sign that its because the servo sucks or is it interference. Im seeing on here the servos suck, but my brother also said that the stock radio and receiver sucks and i should get a Spectrum controller.

I put the killer b in and my servos started twitching...the closer the killer was to the reciever the worse it got.

Changed the spark plug to NGK and all better!

well i could have sworn my servo was twitching since day one, but ill try to replace the spark plug and see what happens! thanks

Swap the servo, dude. Better to catch it before it dies.

Yes I had the same issue, and my suggestion, GO ALL OUT AND PUT WATER PROOF SERVOS IN. I say this because I had a similar issue with the throttle sticking on my redcat rampage xt. More than likely water got in your throttle servo and fried it, or tweeked it to where it was unresponsive, so my suggestion GO WATER PROOF THROUGH OUT!

ABSOLULY YES get a spectrum controller. The DX4C is A 20 DIFFERENT VEHICLE programmable controller, which I have, and it is a very nice radio. Also on the servo issue GO WATER PROOF AND NEVER LOOK BACK. I say that because more than likely you'll run it through a puddle and guess what, TIME TO REPLACE THE SERVOS. Good luck.
