retaining mech brakes in 1/8 buggy conversions

Do you have another rx to try with radio?
Is the black wire plugged into the rx plug good or has any bad spots?
It is no garuntee that a new radio will fix your problem.

Where are you located? Maybe there's someone here that lives relatively close-by that wouldn't mind helping you out.

Or, take it to a LHS and see if they'll try a different Rx/Tx set. Most I've seen have a few personal vehicles laying behing the counter that they could temporarily hook up.

If it turns out NOT to be the Rx/Tx, you will have saved a few bucks.
