Infraction has brakes and steering at same time?

[Viking 9]

What’s wrong that my stock infraction Spektrum receiver activates both servos at time , the steering port and the Aux1 port 3 channel (which is the center brake) I can’t run that brake, and it blew that servo before I realized it. I’m using stock radio and feel like it could be the radio. I have other radios but not wanting to lose this bind. I just hate I can’t run the brake could be a great feature. Any clues gang? Also what if I replace the receiver with a Spektrum SR3100 will I still have a smart receiver? Anybody have any ideas.

Not too sure what you mean?? But there is a button on your reciever by the throttle trigger that should activate the hand brake

When I steer the wheels , both servos are activated. The steering servo and the center brake servo. It’s signaling both ports on the receiver at same time. I imagine this blew the brake servo before I realized it was over functioning. I found this out when I was testing a new servo. Thx but The third channel brake button doesn’t effect it at all. Because it’s linked to the steering channel somehow. I would like to ditch receiver but it might be the radio? I want to keep the radio so I can have the kid drive it while I run my new Limitless castle build. Nobody has ever had this happen I guess. At least it’s not a common problem.

You could get a replacement radio link setup. Really good and budget friendly.

Yup, I do and I believe a lot of others on this forum use that brand. Two things, if you're used to where the "hand brake" button is, it is in a different place than stock, and the gyro will over correct and cause death wobble if you turn it up to high.

Okay , good information and sounds real reasonable . I’ll give it a go ..but first, since you’re up on this subject, do you know if there is a step up better or more popular “radio link “ that some infraction guys are turning seems like these radios are in the Nice price range. Maybe this infraction radio is the issue , I already replaced the original new receiver because it wouldn’t bind, as via the seller provided it after our phone call to help bind.

Radio link is about the best you can get in that price range

The RL RC6GS is what a lot of guys use due to the 600m range and is only about $20 more than the one posted above. I bought one recently and have 8 or 9 of my cars on it so far. I like it more than my stock Traxxas and Arrma Radios for some of the cars as it has a lot of really powerful settings/features like Steering and Throttle Expo but might be converting some of my drag-specific cars back/over to the Traxxas TQi radio for the 'Trans Brake' feature. The RC6GS has a 'Throttle Lock' feature that can double as a Trans Brake but it sometimes locks the throttle for cruise control instead of acting as a Trans Brake.
