ous causes to the issues you are experiencing. Below are some of the most common 

issues experienced. Scan the QR code to the right with your smart phone for quick 

access to the product support page on our website.

1.  Dead transmitter or vehicle batteries will cause the product to malfunction and not 

work properly. As with TV remote controls in your home, if the batteries are dead, 

they don’t work. Start power related troubleshooting with fresh batteries in the 

transmitter and recharged batteries in the vehicle.

2.  Connections between the Battery, ESC, and Motor are critical to the performance of the product. Run

ning in various debris may cause foreign objects to snag on wires, causing connections to come loose. It 

is a good idea to unplug and reconnect motor and battery connections when beginning troubleshooting.

3.  Drivetrain issues can mask themselves as power related. Fully inspect the wheels, driveshafts, and motor 

for foreign objects that may have become tangled or wrapped around the spinning parts of the drive

train. Small objects like fishing line for example, can wrap around a drive shaft, overheat and melt due to 

the friction and cause the entire drivetrain to lock up. Although a big problem, it can be difficult to see 

when inspecting. Always remove the wheels from your vehicle when starting drivetrain related issues.

4.  When running in dirt and areas with a lot of debris, the motor can be exposed to foreign contaminants 

such as grass, twigs, or other objects which can get lodged in the cooling holes of the motor, causing the 

motor to lock up and stop functioning. Inspect the holes of your motor for foreign objects and remove 

them if present.

5.  Healthy gears are crucial to a properly functioning vehicle. If you hear your vehicle making very loud 

noises, you should immediately stop and check the gears for foreign debris. Even a small pebble can get 

lodged into the teeth of the pinion gear, which would practically destroy the spur gear quickly.
