Troubleshooting
RC car does not move or respond to controls
Ensure the transmitter and receiver are bound correctly. Check that the battery is fully charged and properly connected to the speed controller. Verify the steering servo is connected and functioning. Check the connection between the speed controller and the motor.
Poor steering performance or turning radius is too wide
Check the steering servo linkage for any obstructions or damage. Adjust the steering trim on the transmitter. Ensure the steering servo horn is correctly aligned. If using optional parts, verify their installation.
Motor runs but car doesn't move
Inspect the drivetrain gears for any stripped or broken teeth. Ensure the pinion gear on the motor is securely fastened and meshing correctly with the spur gear. Check that the driveshafts are properly connected to the wheels and differentials.
Overheating of motor or speed controller
Reduce driving time or intensity. Ensure the gear ratio is appropriate for the motor and driving conditions. Clean any dirt or debris that may be causing excess friction. Consider upgrading to a motor or speed controller with a higher rating if pushing the limits.
