Troubleshooting
Buggy doesn't turn on.
Check the battery connection, ensure the battery is charged, and verify that the power switch is in the 'on' position.
Buggy runs slowly.
Check battery charge level. Check for any obstructions, such as debris, that might be slowing down the wheels.
Steering doesn't work.
Check the steering servo connection, verify the transmitter batteries are fresh, and make sure the servo is not damaged.
