14. Troubleshooting
Even though the model and the remote control system were built according to the state of the art, there may still be
malfunctions or errors. For this reason, we would like to give you some information on how to deal with possible
problems.
The model does not respond
• Are the batteries or rechargeable batteries in the vehicle or transmitter empty?
• Did you switch on the transmitter first and then the speed controller?
• Are the batteries/rechargeable batteries inserted correctly in the vehicle or transmitter? Observe correct polarity!
The vehicle does not stop when the throttle/brake lever is released
• Set the neutral position for the driving function at the transmitter with the rocker button “DT2” (13).
The vehicle slows down or the steering servo shows only slight or no reaction; the range between transmitter
and vehicle is very low
• The batteries/rechargeable batteries in the vehicle are weak or empty.
The receiver power supply and thus also the power supply of the steering servo is achieved through the speed
controller BEC. Therefore, weak or discharged batteries/rechargeable batteries will cause the receiver to no longer
work properly. Replace the batteries/rechargeable batteries in the vehicle. Wait for 5 minutes first so that the motor
and speed controller can sufficiently cool off.
• Check the batteries/rechargeable batteries in the transmitter.
The vehicle doesn’t drive in a straight line correctly
• Set the straight run of the front axle at the transmitter with the rocker button “DT1” (12). The straight run of the rear
axle can be set with the rocker button “DT4” (8).
• Check the steering rods.
• Did your car have an accident? If so, check the vehicle for any defective or broken parts and replace them.
Driving works opposite to the movement of the lever (10) at the transmitter
Correct: The vehicle has to drive forwards when the lever (10) at the transmitter is pulled towards the handle and back
when the lever at the transmitter is pushed away from the handle.
If your transmitter causes the opposite reaction, activate the reverse setting for the driving function at the transmitter.
