    AMP MT Kit S6170 Servo Stuttering

    So I got the kit and built it. The stock servo died. I contacted Horizon Hobby and they sent me a S6170 to replace it. I hooked it up and it stutters. When I turn the wheel on the radio nothing happens. Maybe it will respond but not for long before it stutters again. I am wondering if this is a...

    Brushless Motor & ESC Upgrade - ECX AMP

    My stock Dynamite DYN1171 20T brushed motor recently lost a brush, so I need to replace the motor. It’s cheap to replace the stock motor ($25), but it’s also a good time to upgrade to brushless. What’s a decent, low cost (<$100) brushless motor & ESC combo? I’ve heard mixed opinions about the...

    How do you troubleshoot no steering?

    Recently got an AMP DB and after just a few runs I've lost steering! It still goes forward and back like normal though... I was thinking about just buying a new servo, but then I was able to get the wheels to turn when lifted off the ground. Although, this won't happen consistently and I...

    Amp clicking when accelerating

    I’ve picked up my ecx amp (mt) that I stopped using about 1 year and a half and it makes a clicking noise when accelerating ( I’ll post a video when I have time ). I’ve replaced the gears so they are not an issue and I’ve replaced the spur gear. Could the issue be the case being worn because the...

    Gearing

    So i have my ecx amp going 62mph on a 3300kv brushless motor (3s) and a 28t pinion gear. If i want to have a little more torque but have similar ish speeds, what gearing should i go for? 24t pinion? 26? 21? Also I'm using modded driveshafts that were cut down to fit the ecx amp, they were from a...

    AMP Ni-MH Battery Upgrade

    Hello, I recently bought two AMP's and the place I bought them from suggested using LiPo batteries for extended run time/power. I have a little buyers remorse after reading the hazards of LiPo's. So I'm thinking I should have bought additional Ni-MH batteries that have a longer run time than the...

    Screws in front hubs keep coming out.

    The screws in my front steering hubs have fallen out about 3-4 times. Do the rpm hubs fix that or do i need to get aluminum ones from hot racing and locktite them to fix it? If the rpm hubs fix the problem, can i just buy the rpm hubs and mount them on the stock a arms or do i need the whole...

    AMP ESC-Rx/Tx Replacement Options

    Hi all, (1st post / newb) I recently picked up a used AMP MT for my 9yo son, to replace a broken “toy” RC. It worked really well for a few runs, and then started to flake out. When I turn on the truck’s power, the front servo twitches but the LED doesn’t turn on, no beep, and there is no power...

    Amp jump

    My son did a video submission for his class project last week. Today he wanted to jump it with the Amp. I had the Amp apart and I know it has a few ruined teeth on the spur gear. Can’t get the slipper pads to go on the new spur gear so I figure I’ll run it until it shreds. It is stock except...

    Amp MT diff noise?

    Relatively new Amp MT is making a noise each revolution. Seems like a click or scrape. Pulled the wheels off and then the cover over the ring and slipper clutch. Pinion and ring gear look fine. Motor is not making the noise. With motor stopped if I turn one wheel and the other turns I don’t hear...

    ECX esc failure AMP Crush

    Hi, noob here; I have a new Amp Crush, ran it twice and then issues. On start up the motor turns 3 times with the beeps, every time. No servo action throttle starts up then fails. Batteries in the car and transmitter all fine. I'm guessing the esc is fried? As well as this the gearbox trashed...

    Worth upgrading ECX AMP to metal parts?

    Well I upgraded the amp, sorted the spur problem, however now the little beast goes so fast, I lost the battle with a 1:1 car wheel and I smashed the front end ??? My question is.... is it worth getting metal parts or sticking to the standard plastic?
