The battery life depends on driving style and terrain, but typically provides 10-20 minutes of runtime. Aggressive driving will shorten the run time.
It uses a 3S LiPo battery, which is included in the package.
It is recommended to use the included charger to ensure proper charging and battery safety. Using a different charger may damage the battery or the truck.
Replacement parts are available through various RC hobby shops and online retailers that stock FTX products.
Use compressed air or a soft brush to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using water directly on the electronics.
The radio system has a range of approximately 100-200 meters, but it can vary based on conditions.
Warranty information can be found in the product documentation or by contacting the retailer or manufacturer.
Check if the battery is charged and properly connected. Ensure the power switch is in the 'on' position. Also, inspect the connections for any damage.
Verify the transmitter and truck are bound correctly. Check the batteries in the transmitter. Make sure there are no obstructions interfering with the radio signal.
Ensure the battery is fully charged. Check the motor and speed controller for any damage. Also, examine the drivetrain for binding.
Check the steering servo connections. Make sure the servo is not damaged and the servo saver is not too loose.
The Ramraider is compatible with the included 3S LiPo battery and charger. Using batteries or chargers with different specifications may damage the truck or pose safety risks. The radio system operates on 2.4GHz.
