16. Troubleshooting

Even though the model and the remote control system were built with the latest available technology, there can still
be malfunctions or errors. For this reason, we would like to give you some information on how to deal with possible
problems. Also observe the enclosed operating instructions for the remote control system.
The model doesn't respond or does not respond properly
• For 2.4 GHz remote control systems, the receiver must be taught to the transmitter. This process may be referred
to by the terms of "Binding" or "Pairing". The teaching process usually was performed by the manufacturer already;
however, it can, of course, also be done by you. Observe chapter 12 for this.
• Are the vehicle drive battery or the batteries/rechargeable batteries in the transmitter discharged? Exchange the
drive battery or batteries/rechargeable batteries in the transmitter for new ones.
• Did you switch on the transmitter first and then the speed controller? The speed controller will not work for reasons
of safety in case of reverse order.
• Is the drive battery connected correctly? Check the plug connection for whether it is contaminated or oxidised.
• Is the vehicle too far away? With a fully charged drive battery and fully charged batteries/rechargeable batteries in
the transmitter, the range should be 50 m and more. The range can be decreased by outside influences, such as
interference on the transmitter frequency, or proximity to other transmitters (not only remote controller transmitters
but also WLAN/Bluetooth
The vehicle does not stop when the throttle/brake lever is released
• Correct the driving trimming on the transmitter (setting neutral position).
• If the trimming path is not sufficient, reprogramme the neutral and full throttle positions; see chapter 15.
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 minutes
until motor and speed controller have cooled down sufficiently).
• Check the batteries/rechargeable batteries in the transmitter.
The vehicle will slow down or stop in operation
• The drive battery is weak or discharged.
• The distance from the transmitter is too large; the fail-safe function of the receiver is activated.
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.
• 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 steering wheel is turned at the transmitter
• Activate the steering reverse setting at the transmitter, see chapter 10. f).
