Troubleshooting
RC transmitter not communicating with the vehicle.
Ensure the transmitter and receiver are correctly bound. Check battery levels in the transmitter and verify the receiver is properly connected to the ESC and steering servo.
Poor steering response or no steering.
Check the servo connection to the receiver and the steering linkage. Ensure the servo horn is securely attached and that the steering linkage is not binding.
Vehicle moves but not in the selected gear.
Verify the servo horn for the transmission shifter is correctly positioned and linked. Ensure the 3-speed transmission mechanism is properly assembled and free of obstructions.
Reduced power or speed.
Check battery charge level. Inspect the motor and gearing for any debris or binding. Ensure the electronic speed controller is functioning correctly.
