Could myRX-18 board really be broke-already

Post by General Jumbo »

From day one its had issues with one side of the drive and now it won't power the forward motion on one side-its not the motor(swopped the plugs over to ensure both motors work)I suppose my question is does this happen and should it be replaced under warranty?(only had it at Christmas :thumbdown: )

Sure every so often there is a bad egg. Not sure there is a warranty.... where did you buy it? I would ask them.
All I need is a tank that can dive like a sub and shoot torpedoes.

Got my Heng Long Jagdpanther last night and had a blast for 30 minutes. Fired it up this morning to the exact same problem you described. Next controller is getting major air-conditioning and fuse treatment.

Got mine from XenonProject.com, they're supposed to call me back about shipping a replacement.
