Furitek Titan Losing Throttle Signal (Full battery)

What would cause this? This happens multiple times per battery and im about to throw the titan in the trash.

edit: long ending to show battery is not nearly dead

More Furitek Woes

I was trying to get footage of a totally separate issue (signal loss to throttle only) when my right hand steerjng stopped working. Screw loose. Second loose screw within 6 battery packs of normal usage to cause a failure. I am really trying not to be a huge complainer but this is the last straw and I will be requesting a refund.

Disappointed

"Four-Point Killer" Truck

This is my Four-Point Killer serial killer truck.

It will be the subject of a short video series where implied bodies are buried out in the desert with an increasing kill tally on the side of the truck.

Stay tuned for the first video: Second Kill.

(The insider lore is that the truck itself is the killer and its driver was the first kill. But this is never explained or shown and we will start with the second kill)

Eventually a police crawler or a witness crawler will be involed who knows!

Small and Mighty (and Evil)

Yall were not kidding- SCX30 is crazy fun and surprisingly capable. They even give you different color Chevy logo inserts. I did yellow

Furitek Titan 1:30 - No Case

Got mine! Its great but does NOT come with a case. I didnt buy it for the case, but I did expect one because all the youtubers got one. It did come with a toolkit though.

Just making everyone more aware than I was!

Cheers

- Tested using the optional regulator.

- Works VERY well. This is usable and visible in full daylight. During daylight, when it travels thru a shadow, the light really pops, no matter how bright the sun is. The brightness is very impressive.

- I was able to mount it very cleanly (if a bit crooked), and there were many options for mounting.

- I did notice a meaningful battery duration downside, but not a deal-killing one. I used a full 300 mah stock redcat battery. If you use the 350 mah spektrum battery, I believe a big piece (or perhaps all) of this downside could be erased- meaning that I imagine a 350 mah with the light performs about as long as a 300 mah without one. calculated on feel alone.

- you could also use a secondary tiny battery and power the light separately. I will probably do this with my 1:24 Camel Trophy and put the second battery in the backseat in a tiny Camel duffel bag.

For the above reasons, I would highly recommend this for any 1:18 or larger size RC, day or night use. Anything smaller and there probably would be significant battery duration downsides.

I have not even installed this yet and I am already impressed and can recommend because:

- its crazy bright

- lots of mounting options (with mounting kit)

- sturdy, with a spring

- I have not tested battery drain but have not seen others with any issues

edit: here's the green installed- looks great no problems!
