PROBLEM

CAUSE

SOLUTION

1) One or more of your differentials are installed 
upside down.

1)Check the assembly instructions to make sure the 
differentials were installed correctly.

2) The motor is spinning the wrong direction.

2) Check that the wires from the ESC to the motor 
are connected properly.

3) The motor case was installed with the motor facing 
opposite of what the instructions show.

3) Check the assembly instructions to make sure the 
motor case was installed correctly.

4) The "throttle" switch on your remote control may 
be switched to reverse. 

4) Flip the switch to "Normal"

1) One of your differentials are installed upside down.

1) Check the assembly instructions for proper 
installation of the differentials.

1) Your steering trim is not centered.

1) Center your steering trim.

2) Your servo horn was not installed on the servo 
while it was centered. 

2) Remove the screw that retains the servo horn, 
then remove the servo horn. Turn the remote control 
on, center the trim on the remote, turn the vehicle on. 
Then reinstall the servo horn as the instructions 
show.

3) The linkages that connect your steering bar to the 
front wheel knuckles are not the proper length or do 
not match each other. 

3) Remove the linkages and check that they are the 
length indicated in your instructions.

4) The "Y"harness for four wheel steering is not 
centered.

4) Follow step 2 for front and rear servo, making sure 
when you center the trim on the remote to also center 
the trim on the "Y"harness.

1) Servo cable is plugged in upside down.

1) Check that the cable is plugged in according to the 
wiring polarity guide.

1) Servo horn is not centered on the servo properly.

2) Remove the screw that retains the servo horn, 
then remove the servo horn. Turn the remote control 
on, center the trim on the remote, turn the vehicle on. 
Then reinstall the servo horn as the instructions 
show.

1) Charge level of vehicle battery has dropped below 
useable level.

1) Remove battery from vehicle and charge with the 
recommended charger. Always follow proper safety 
procedures when charging a battery.

1) Charge level of remote control batteries have 
dropped below useable level.

1) Check the remote control low battery indicator, if 
necessary replace or recharge batteries. Always 
follow proper safety procedures when charging a 
battery. Never recharge alkaline batteries.

2) A wire may have come loose from the receiver.

2) Check that the wires are all properly plugged in 
and in good condition.

1) Something has become bound up in the drivetrain.

1) Check the drivetrain from motor to wheels for 
foreign objects and debris. Removing the drivelines 
that connect the motor case to the differential(s) then 
trying to spin the wheels will allow you to more easily 
locate the issue.

1) Gear mesh in motor case was not properly set.

1) Check that the gear mesh was set according to 
the instructions. Gears should be about the thickness 
of this sheet of paper apart for proper mesh.

2) Pinion set screw was not Properly tightened.

2) Check that the pinion set screw was tightened 
according to the instructions.

Vehicle does not move forwards or reverse when 
throttle is applied but audible tone comes from motor

Motor spins freely when throttle is applied but vehicle 
doesn’t move.

VEHICLE TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Wheels rotate backwards when forwards throttle is 
applied.

Front wheels rotate opposite of rear wheels when 
driving.

Vehicle doesn’t drive in a straight line with the 
steering channel centered.

Vehicle stops unexpectedly or doesn’t respond to 
remote.

Vehicle has become under powered or sluggish.

Servo does not operate when steering is applied.

Servo steers only one direction or farther one way 
than the other.
