Troubleshooting

The vehicle does not work

Position the switches on the transmitter and vehicle to “ON”.
Have the batteries/power packs been inserted correctly?
Are the battery contacts bent or dirty?
Are the batteries discharged or defective?
Are the vehicle and the transmitter/controller connected properly (see 5 )?

The vehicle does not work properly; the range is too small!

Is battery/accumulator power fading?
Are any other remote control devices close by which might be transmitting on the same frequency?
Is interference being caused by metal railings or fences?
Transmitters or power masts often cause the model vehicle to behave in an uncontrolled manner.
Are there walkie-talkies/CB radios/wireless networks in the vicinity that might cause interference?
The vehicle is very warm. Switch both car and controller off and allow the car to cool down for about 30 minutes.
