Vehicle slows down
• The drive battery is weak or discharged.
• The drive is blocked by leaves, branches, etc.
The steering servos show only slight or no reaction; the range between transmitter and vehicle is very
short
• The receiver battery is weak or discharged.
• Check the batteries/rechargeable batteries in the transmitter.
The vehicle doesn't drive in a straight line correctly
• Adjust the steering trimmer at the transmitter.
• Check the steering rods or wheel alignment setting.
• Did your car have an accident? If so, check the vehicle for any defective or broken parts and replace them.
Steering works opposite to the way the turning wheel is turned at the transmitter
• Activate the steering reverse setting at the transmitter.
Driving works opposite to the movement of the throttle/brake lever at the transmitter
Usually, the vehicle should drive forwards if you pull the throttle/brake lever at the transmitter towards the handle.
• Activate the driving reverse setting at the transmitter.
• If the brushless motor is disconnected from the speed controller and reconnected, the alignment of the 3 connection
cables between the motor and speed controller is not correct. Simply swap two of the three cables between motor
and speed controller. This will reverse the rotational direction of the brushless motor.
The steering is not functioning or is functioning incorrectly, steering lock too slight on the vehicle
• If the transmitter offers dual rate settings, check these settings (observe transmitter's operating instructions). If the
dual rate setting is too low, the steering servo will no longer react.
The same applies for the so-called EPA setting (= „End-Point-Adjustment", setting of the end positions for the servo
path to protect the servo mechanics) if present at the transmitter.
• Check the steering mechanics for loose parts; e.g. check if the servo arm is properly attached to the servo.
Light arc when connecting the drive battery
• Proceed as described in chapters 5. b) and 8. e) for drive battery connection.
