then turns on the drive motors and moves the steering servos in accordance
with the transmitted signal. The models will run in reverse with the steering
turned to the right. If we were to apply a short to the same channels the two
models would run forwards with the steering turned to the left. In summary,
resistance controls the models. If the resistance of any channel is changed,
intentionally or due to a fault, the model will move accordingly. We can use
this movement and its direction to diagnose the possible fault.
There are numerous other systems in use by the equipment, but these are
relatively conventional. It is faults in the transmission system which seem to
be the most difficult to diagnose for those not familiar with the equipment.
Finally for diagnostic purposes, consider the unit as two separate sections.
The console section and the model section. In all cases the first thing to do is
to discover whether the problem is in the console or the model section. Be
careful there are a lot of symptoms that are identical for faults in either
section. Fortunately there is a relatively simple test. If a fault is observed in
the operation of a model. Place a charged battery in the spare chassis and set
the receiver to the same number as the affected model. Operate the suspect
model and observe the good one. If both of the models react in the same
manner the fault probably lies at the console end. If the good model reacts
normally whilst the suspect model does not, the fault is in the model.
