The vehicle slows down or comes to a standstill while being driven
• The vehicle battery is nearly empty.
• The speed controller overheated and overtemperature protection was enabled (indicated by a flashing red LED).
Leave the speed controller to cool down before using it again.
• The vehicle is too far from the remote control and the speed controller did not detect a signal via the receiver (or the
receiver's fail-safe function was activated, see remote control instructions).
The vehicle does not travel in a straight line
•
Set the steering trim on the remote control.
•
Check the steering linkage, the servo arm and the screw connection.
• Has the vehicle had an accident? If so, check the vehicle for any defective or broken parts and replace them if
necessary.
The vehicle moves in the opposite direction to the steering wheel on the remote control
•
Enable the steering reverse function on the remote control.
The vehicle responds in the opposite way to the throttle/brake lever on the remote control
• Usually, the vehicle should move forwards when the throttle/brake lever on the remote control is pulled towards
the handle.
If this is not the case, enable the reverse throttle on the remote control.
• Was the motor disconnected from the speed controller (e.g. when the vehicle was repaired)? If so, swap the motor
cables.
The vehicle does not steer properly or the steering angle is too low
• If the transmitter has a dual rate setting, check that it is working correctly (refer to the remote control operating
instructions for details). If the dual rate setting is too low, the steering servo will not respond.
• Check the steering mechanism for loose parts (e.g. check whether the servo arm is attached correctly to the servo).
