Losi 8ight nitro lost all electrics ??? Help !!!
Hi all new member here. I've got a Losi 8ight nitro been wicked so far. Only issue is I now have lost all electrics, the buggy won't switch on at all.
Ok so how it all happened, my steering servo bunged out so I replaced it with a savox 1256 tg which was working fine while testing / getting it setup and alligned. Then I ran the buggy for maybe 3 minutes at the track and boom all of a sudden she started to run off with no throttle or steering. Tried switching it on and off and nothing. Tried new batteries. I'm a little lost what I should be looking for, also hoping that replacing the steering servo hasn't fried something else.

HI,
That servo is digital and it will require more power to operate than the analog one you removed so the battery pack needs to be in good shape.
If you know the battery is good then remove the battery from the switch harness and plug it directly into the receiver.....just use an open port and be aware of the polarity on the plug.
If the receiver powers up then you have a faulty switch.
If not then unplug the servo from the receiver and then plug the battery into the receiver . If the receiver powers up then the servo is causing the issue.
If the receiver still won't power up the remove the throttle servo and try again. If the receiver powers up then the throttle servo is faulty.
If the receiver does not power up with all servos disconnected and the battery plugged in directly then the receiver is faulty.
