What is wrong?!

Post by PsychoTony »

My zipzap (the ford GT one) is stuck in forward
I adjusted the "nuetral whatever" but to no avail

Overview: It zooms forward while I'm not pressing the throttle, but when I do, its like turbo...
How do I make it stop?

and will putting in a new motor fix this?

It wouldn't be a motor issue, try it in a different part of the house and see if it still does it, it sounds like you could be getting some sort of interference. If not, do you have any friends with an SE transmitter? If so try their transmitter and see if that's the problem. I'm not sure what the "neutral whatever" is that you adjusted, maybe it was the trim on the bottom of the car, but that's for steering so that wouldn't do a thing for this.

Have you taken it apart at all?

I just FET modded some cars for mailman, and when you put them back together, it's a real tight fit. The wires sometimes get mashed, and the wire's casing is so thin it will easily separate, and short. Rearranging the wires so they are not so smashed will often fix it.

This is all sort of ironic. Mailman's GT40 gave me problems when I first put it back together, and I had to fiddle with it. I was afraid you were him having another problem. :oops:
