Troubleshooting

Motor not running

Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly connected to the ESC (if applicable) and receiver. Check that the radio system is bound and functioning. Verify motor connections to the ESC/receiver.

Steering is unresponsive or erratic

Check the servo connection to the receiver and the servo horn connection to the steering linkage. Ensure the steering servo is properly installed and not obstructed. Verify the transmitter's steering trim is centered.

Transmission not shifting gears

Confirm the shift servo is correctly installed and connected to the appropriate channel on the receiver. Check the linkage between the servo and the transmission shifting mechanism. Ensure the transmitter is set up to control the shift servo.

Model moves slowly or lacks power

Ensure the battery is fully charged. Check for any binding or friction in the drivetrain or wheels. Clean and lubricate gears if necessary. Inspect the motor for damage or excessive wear.

Excessive noise from the drivetrain

Check that all gears are properly meshed and that no foreign objects are present. Ensure screws are tightened appropriately. Lubricate gears as per the manual's instructions.
