so had the revo out for a bit a good half hr or so, pinched the line to take a smoke break, turned off the rX ad the Tx. well after about 10-15 mins went to turn on the Tx and had no light at all.... strange so i changed the batteries to brand new duracell's. went to turn on and again no light at all, not red not green just nothing. called traxxas and the guy said to mail it in with a original purchase receipt which the truck is less then 30 days old and it will be covered under warranty.
well my thing is its going to be probably about a month before i get it back, has anyone else had similar issues? how did you fix it? should i try to fix it? can i use another Tx that is compatible with my current Rx? and about a week ago my reverse servo completely stopped working was this a pre cursor to this? i wasn't worried about the reverse as i have a FOC now.
So i guess i posted a bit preemptively i jsut got off the phone with traxxas again and asked the same questions. the guy said it is in fact no light of death caused by a bug in the software. i asked how it happenes and he says if you have the tx ad rx linked with the blue tooth link and the iphone either loses connection to the internet or starts a update and the blue tooth or tx and rx lose connection or get interference it causes the software to crash and need to be reflashed. he said they are aware of the issue and to just send it all in, he emailed me a RMA (return merchandise authorization form) and a shipping label to have it all sent in and repaired for free. i will have to foot the bill for shipping and can use what i want for shipping. i will more then likely get something around the 3 day mark to get it to them as it takes them about 7-9 days to get something sent back not including repair time etc etc. ill keep the thread updated until i get it back and out running again.
