The vehicle slows down or the steering servo shows only slight or no reaction; the range between transmitter
and vehicle is very short
• The drive battery is weak or discharged.
The receiver power supply and thus also the power supply of the steering servo is achieved through the speed
controller BEC. Therefore, a weak or discharged drive battery will cause the receiver to no longer work properly.
Replace the drive battery with a new, fully charged one (before inserting a new drive battery, wait at least 5 - 10
minutes until motor and speed controller have cooled down sufficiently.
• Check the batteries/rechargeable batteries in the transmitter.
The vehicle doesn‘t drive in a straight line correctly
• Set straight driving at the transmitter using the respective trimming control for the steering function.
• Check the steering rods, the servo arm, the servo saver and its screw connections.
• 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.
If this is not the case, activate the reverse setting for the driving function at the transmitter.
• If the motor has been disconnected from the speed controller, swap two of the three motor cables. This will reverse
the rotational direction of the brushless motor.
The steering is not functioning or is functioning incorrectly, steering deflection at the vehicle insufficient
• 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.
• Check the steering mechanics for loose parts; e.g. check if the servo arm is properly attached to the servo.
