antenna is in an antenna
tube and is above the
vehicle

during operation
Inadequate battery voltage Charge or replace the
receiver batteries.
Spektrum receivers require
at least 3.5V to operate
(We recommend using
a 6V receiver pack). An
inadequate power supply
can allow voltage to mo-
mentarily drop below 3.5V
and cause the receiver to
brown out and reconnect
Loose or damaged wires
or connectors between
battery and receiver
Check the wires and
connection between the
battery and receiver. Repair
or replace wires and/or
connectors
