15. Troubleshooting
Even though the model and the remote control system were built with the latest available technology, there can still
be malfunctions or errors. For this reason, we would like to give you some information on how to deal with possible
problems.
u The model doesn't respond or does not respond properly
• For2.4GHzremotecontrolsystems,thereceivermustbetaughttothetransmitter.Thisprocessmaybereferred
to by the terms of "Binding" or "Pairing". The teaching process usually was performed by the manufacturer already;
however, it can, of course, also be done by you. Also observe the separately enclosed operating instructions for the
remote control system.
• Isthereceiverbatteryorarethebatteries/rechargeablebatteriesinthetransmitterdischarged?
• Isthereceiverbatteryconnectedtothecorrespondingconnectionplugcorrectly?
• Didyouswitchonthetransmitterrstandthenthereceiverpowersupply?Alwaysobservethisorder!
• Useahighcurrentcapablebatterypacktosupplythereceiversystemwithpower.Batteriescannotsupplythe
requiredhighcurrentsfortheservos,whichwillcauseproblemsspecicallyatconcurrentmovementofbothservos.
• Isthevehicletoofaraway?Withafullychargedreceiverbatteryandfullychargedbatteries/rechargeablebatteries
inthetransmitter,therangeshouldbeatleast50mandmore.Therangecanbedecreasedbyoutsideinuences,
such as transmitters working on the same or an adjacent frequency, proximity to metal parts, trees, etc.
 Thepositionoftransmitterandreceiveraerialtoeachotherverystronglyinuencesrange.Itisbestwhenboththe
transmitter and receiver aerial are vertical. If you point the transmitter aerial at the vehicle, the range will be very
short!
• Checkthecorrectpositionoftheservoplugsinthereceiver.Iftheplugsareinsertedrotatedby180°,theservoswill
not work.
• Aretheservoandspeedcontrollerplugsconnectedintherightorientation?If,however,thethrottle/brakeservoand
steering servo plugs are swapped, the throttle/brake lever controls the steering servo, and the wheel controls the
throttle/brake servo.
u The motor does not start
• Thecarburettorsettingsareincorrect.Observethatthecarburettorisalreadycorrectlypre-setupondelivery;turning
the adjusting screws therefore is not required for initial commissioning. Only during or after the breaking in process
must careful changes be performed. Even slight turning of the adjusting screws will have large effects!
Only adjust the screws in the carburettor in very small steps (max. 1/16 turn) and record the changes or rotating
direction.
• Checktheglowplugfunction.Iftheglowplugwasreplacedwithanewone,checktheglowplugtype.Onlyaglow
plug for RC model cars must be used; see chapter 8. d). Also check the charge condition of your glow plug battery.
• AreallfuellinesOK?Evenasmallbendmaycausefunctionproblems.
• Didyoufuelupontherightfuel?OnlyfuelforRCmodelcarswithnitromethane/oilmustbeused.Nofunctionis
