The driving time is very short.
• Chargethedrivebatteryoruseadifferent,fullychargeddrivebattery.
The vehicle slows down or the steering servo shows only slight or no reaction; the range between transmitter
and vehicle is very short
• Thedrivebatteryisweakordischarged.
The receiver power supply and thus also the power supply of the steering servo is achieved through the speed
controller BEC. Therefore, a weak or discharged drive battery will cause the receiver to no longer work properly.
Replace the drive battery by a fully charged one (before inserting a new drive battery, wait at least 5 - 10 minutes
untilmotorandspeedcontrollerhavecooleddownsufciently).

Steering works opposite to the way the turning wheel is turned at the transmitter

Driving works opposite to the movement of the throttle/brake lever at the transmitter
• Usually,thevehicleshoulddriveforwardsifyoupullthethrottle/brakeleveratthetransmittertowardsthehandle.
If this is not the case, activate the reverse setting for the driving function at the transmitter.

dual rate setting is too low, the steering servo will no longer react.

The drive battery heats up when charging and driving the vehicle.
