Good Day All, I wasn't sure exactly where to post this but thought that this would be potentially the best place?? I just bought a Senton 3s BLX about 2weeks ago. After the unboxing, I placed it on my floors inside just to test radio (forward/back) and Steering Trim. I then took the truck outside into the street and made sure the trim was set appropriately. I had the transmitter set to 50% as this was my first R/C in decades and I had no idea what to expect. I eased onto the throttle until it seemed to be around 25% and then laid into it, it immediately, spun, hooked left almost 75 degrees and started cartwheeling down the street...I certainly didn't expect that to happen, especially at 50%. No matter what I do, I can not get this vehicle to allow me to even use full throttle at 50% or higher and it WILL NOT track straight. I can set the trim and then 3s later it's off again. I've changed the toe out on the front, I've evened the negative camber on all 4...nothing I do works. Since the un-boxing, the tires have appeared as though they are wobbling, but it seems like it's just the way the tread is and how it sits on the wheel?? Taking the wheels off and turning the hubs, it doesn't appear as though those are wobbling. Before acquiring the vehicle, I had ordered a DumboRC x6 with the Gyro, after reading everyone's complaints about the factory Spektrums. I put that in today and I was actually able to get down the street under full throttle (setting the power to 50%) but I can see the car kind of wag back and forth almost as if the gyro is fighting it all the way down the street. Oh, forgot to mention, when installing the new receiver, I had taken the case the servo and receiver are mounted to/in, out and turned it upside down to "set" the servo at neutral (arrow to arrow) and then made sure when reinstalling, that the wheels were straight (measured from inside wheel to bottom of shock tower..roughly 1.25"). When I turned on the ESC and the servo did it's right/left/center actuation, it only went about 75% of the way back to center, thus making it track left (oddly enough, this transmitter requires me to set the trim left, to make it go right (huh??), yes the steering is working left to left and right to right (bizarre lol)). Is the best bet to replace the Servo? Is this possible to get replaced via manufacturer? I haven't been overly upset by all of this troubleshooting and learning because I've been able to get my hands dirty and learn quite a bit....but at what point do I need to give up lol. Sorry for such a long winded post and thank you in advance for any information / assistance anyone is able to provide me. This is my first post, so if there is anything that I forgot or need to do, please feel free to let me know =)
