I need help

i have a micro rs4 brand new, an old novak esc(i mean really old 10+ yr. but works good still) a new futaba ms radio system, and new micro hpi battery 5 cell. my problem is i plug the battery up(and yes it is charged) and nothing happens it takes 5+ minutes to get any response from the servo, and no response ever from the wheels. and yes the radio is on and fresh batteries. I need ideas on what to check. the charger is a Novak Millenium

maybe your old esc won't work with the amount of batteries you are using.

ever get 3 or 4 feet of snow? 904 is a lot at this time of the year for us, also it is not a "dry heat" durring the summer it is constantly 90-100% humidity.

humidity isn't bad because of rain, it's bad cause it makes it feel 10-20 degrees hotter. you are deffinatly not on the winning side of the arguement. when was the last time you heard somone freom arazona retiring to new york for the weather?

Hey buddy, AR is Arkansas. Arizona is AZ. Ice storms dont happen in AZ. Only hail and monsoons. Ever been in a K-Mart when a monsoon came? it's funny as hell. everyone runs out with whatever's in their hands and strip down and run all over in the rain. Then 10 minutes later when the sky is clear, the naked people cant find their clothes.

I've only been to K-mart once, I guess I'm more of a wal-mart type of guy.
