new pp. i bought it today. Im done charging the batteries. I pop them in. I turn the car on, then transmitter. Throttle. WTHEO. No Response. Steer. Very Responsive. Turn transmitter off, car suddenly accelrates forward an inch. WTH. turn transmitter on, throttle.. nothing. turn off... ACCELERATE. =.= Anyone have an idea whats wrong? If not im going to get a hobby grade ESC to replace that POS.

if its brand new. why bother trying to fix it. take it back and just get a new one thats flat out unacceptable.

ok.. i just discussed this issue with someone, i told them my transmitter was low on batteries. he said " everytime my batteries were beginning to die on my mini-z transmitter, response time would get extremely sluggish, sometimes the steering would even stick after releasing the transmitter wheel, or the accelration gets really sporadic," thats it. im going to ask my sis to buy me some batts. if not.. off this goes.. to RS. :)
