Troubleshooting

Even though the model and the remote control system were built according to the state of the art, there may still be
malfunctions or errors. For this reason, we would like to give you some information on how to deal with possible
problems. Also observe the enclosed operating instructions for the remote control system!
 The model does not respond
• Is the vehicle drive battery or are the batteries/rechargeable batteries in the transmitter discharged?
• Did you switch on the transmitter first and then the speed controller? Correct: Always switch on the transmitter first
and then the speed controller!
• Is the drive battery connected to the speed controller correctly?
• Is the vehicle too far away? With a fully charged drive battery and fully charged batteries/rechargeable batteries in
the transmitter, the range should be 100 m and more. The range can be decreased by outside influences, such as
transmitters working on the same or an adjacent frequency (e.g. WLAN devices, Bluetooth, etc.).
• Check the correct position of the speed controller and steering servo plugs in the receiver. If the plugs are twisted by
180°, the speed controller and steering servo will not work (if the plugs of speed controller and steering servo are
swapped, the throttle/brake lever will control the steering servo and the wheel will control the driving function).
The LED on the speed controller must flash quickly when running forwards (LED permanently lit red at full throttle).
When reversing, the LED must flash slowly. In the neutral position, the LED is lit green.
 The vehicle does not stop when the throttle/brake lever is released
• Adjust the driving function neutral position at the transmitter.
 The vehicle slows down or the steering servo shows only slight or no reaction; the range between transmitter
and vehicle is very short
• The drive battery is weak or discharged.
The receiver power supply and thus also the power supply of the steering servo is achieved through the speed
controller BEC. Therefore, a weak or discharged drive battery will cause the receiver to no longer work properly.
Replace the drive battery with a new, fully charged one (before inserting a new drive battery, wait at least 5 - 10
minutes until motor and speed controller have cooled down sufficiently).
• Check the batteries/rechargeable batteries in the transmitter.
 The vehicle doesn't drive in a straight line correctly
• Set straight driving at the transmitter using the respective trimming control for the steering function.
• Check the steering rods at the vehicle or the track setting.
• Did your car have an accident? If so, check the vehicle for any defective or broken parts and replace them.
