OK so after a new engine and some modifications I got my ofna nitro RC car running and it was sweet. However I found out the hard way that they don't float very well LOL bit I cleaned her out and got the motor running again. Problem now is that my servos are screwy. The throttle glitches like crazy and if I try to turn it closes the throttle on its own and stalls. Any ideas? The servos work fine independently but when both hooked up to the junction box the problem occurs. Is that the most likely culpret. Thanks in advance guys

I got so dam sick of the problems I shoved all of it in a box and said fuck it. I know that doesn't help but it's relevant. Hope you get it sorted out. Mine would get twitchy/glitchy as hell.

That junction box thingy is a speed controller ,And yes that is most likely fried. You can try cracking the case on her and let it sit open for a day or two, if its not to far gone yet this may help.

You better start taking some waterproofing precations if you plan on keeping up with that type of abuse. Hot glue or silicone and plastic baggies help alot when done right.

Nitro shouldn't need a speed controller. It's probably the receiver for the radio. Is it where the servo's plug in?

Absolutely. Receivers do not get along with water. It'll do all kinds of weird shit. Mine is in the same boat right now.
