Troubleshooting

RANGE IS SHORT

Interference – check Rx installation and servo connections. 
Low Tx or Rx battery – replace the batteries or recharge 
if applicable. Rx may need to be located to a different 
position in the model for better reception. Crash damage – 
send the radio to Hobby Services for repair. 

RUN TIME IS SHORT

Low Tx or Rx batteries – replace or recharge the batteries. 
Obstructed servo linkages causing excess battery drain – 
free the linkages / pushrods.

Tx POWER SWITCH ON BUT SERVOS DO NOT FUNCTION

Tx or Rx batteries are low – replace or recharge the 
batteries. Rx switch is in the off position – turn on the 
ESC or switch harness. Switch harness or ESC is 
connected incorrectly – check all connections and the 
ESC instruction manual. Rx is not binded to the Tx 
properly – perform binding process again. Check Tx or 
Rx battery polarity.

INTERFERENCE OR SERVOS GLITCHING

Out of range – operate the model more closely to the 
transmitter. Outside radio interference from pagers, strong 
industrial or other commercial transmitters in the area 
- check your local R/C club regarding local operation. Rx 
located too closely to engine, motor, or servos or other 
moving mechanical parts which might be creating unwanted 
electrical noise – relocate the Rx inside the model or 
relocate the ESC.

CONTROL SURFACE MOVES IN THE WRONG DIRECTION

Reverse the position of the reversing switch for the 
appropriate channel.

ONLY ONE SERVO GLITCHES

Servo is bad – replace the servo or send to Hobby Services 
for repair.

FAILSAFE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY

Receiver is not properly binded to the transmitter – bind 
the Rx to the Tx and re-try. Contact Hobby Services for 
further details.

WIRELESS TRAINING FUNCTION NOT BINDING

Check to see that another Tactic 2.4GHz system is not on 
in your area. The teacher’s and student’s transmitters were 
not powered in the proper sequence. Carefully follow the 
instructions on page 17 for proper binding and operation 
for training.

RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES WON’T ACCEPT CHARGE 
THROUGH THE TRANSMITTER

Check the charger for proper setup and operation. Make 
sure the charge plug is inserted fully into the charge jack. 
Make sure the transmitter’s power switch is in the OFF 
position. Make sure the cells are inserted inside the battery 
compartment in the proper direction.
