Troubleshooting

Car does not move when remote buttons are pressed

Check that the batteries in both the car and remote are correctly inserted and have sufficient power. Ensure the car is turned on (if applicable, though this model is directly controlled by remote). Make sure the remote is within range of the car.

Remote control is not responding

Replace the batteries in the remote control. Ensure the remote is not obstructed from the car. Try turning both the car and remote off and on again.

Car moves erratically or slowly

The batteries may be low. Replace them with fresh ones. Ensure the car's wheels are not obstructed by debris or tangled threads.

Car only moves in one direction

Check the battery power in the remote. Ensure all buttons are functioning correctly. If a specific function button is stuck or damaged, this may require replacement of the unit.
