15. Troubleshooting

This model was built using the latest technology. However, faults and malfunction may still occur. The following section
shows you how to troubleshoot potential problems. Ensure that you also read the remote control operating instructions
included with the product.
The model does not respond or responds incorrectly
• In the case of 2.4 GHz remote controls, the receiver must be connected to the transmitter. This process is known
as "binding" or "pairing". The manufacturer pairs the remote control with the receiver before the vehicle is shipped.
However, you can also pair the remote control yourself. To do this, follow the enclosed operating instructions for
the remote control.
• Are the drive batteries in the vehicle or the batteries/rechargeable batteries in the transmitter depleted? Replace the
drive batteries in the vehicle or batteries/rechargeable batteries in the transmitter with new ones.
• Did you switch on the transmitter before switching on the speed controller? For safety reasons, the speed controller
does not function if this is done in the reverse order.
• Are the drive batteries correctly connected to the speed controller? Check the connection to see if it is dirty or
oxidised.
• Is the vehicle too far away? With fully charged drive batteries and full batteries/rechargeable batteries in the trans-
mitter, a transmission range of 50 m or more should be possible. However, it can be reduced by outside influences,
such as interference on the radio frequency or the proximity of other transmitters (not only remote control transmit-
ters, but also Wi-Fi/Bluetooth
etc.
The position of the transmitter and receiver antennas relative to each other also has a significant impact on the
range. For best results, the transmitter and receiver antennas should be vertical (i.e. parallel to each other). Pointing
the transmitter antenna to the vehicle shortens the range!
• Check the correct position of the speed controller plug and steering servo on the receiver. If the plugs have been
rotated 180°, the speed controller and steering servo will not work.
If the connectors for the speed controller and steering servo are swapped, the throttle/brake lever will control the
steering servo and the rotary control will control the drive function!
• For safety reasons, if the throttle/brake lever (or the throttle trim) is not in the neutral position when the speed
controller is switched on, the LED on the speed controller will flash rapidly in red and the drive will not switch on.
Release the throttle/brake lever on the transmitter and check the throttle trim setting. If the trim travel is not suf-
ficient, the neutral and full throttle setting must be reprogrammed, as described in section 10. a).
The vehicle doesn't stop when the throttle/brake lever is released
• Correct the throttle trim on the transmitter (set the neutral position).
• If the trim travel is insufficient, reset the neutral and full throttle setting (see section 10. a).
