Why won't my Horizon Hobby Motorized Toy Car system connect?
- T
  Todd FritzAug 19, 2025
  If your Horizon Hobby Motorized Toy Car system won't connect, it might be due to several reasons. First, the transmitter and receiver may be too close; try moving the transmitter 8 to 12 feet away from the receiver. Metal objects nearby can also interfere, so relocate to an area with less metal. Ensure the correct model memory is active in your transmitter, as the receiver could be bound to a different one. Lastly, your transmitter may have entered bind mode, so rebind your transmitter and receiver, and then re-calibrate.

  If you experience a loss of control with your Horizon Hobby Motorized Toy Car, several factors could be responsible. Ensure the transmitter antenna isn't blocked and the receiver antenna is properly located. Weak batteries in either the transmitter or vehicle can also cause this issue, so install a freshly charged vehicle battery and new transmitter batteries. An incorrect neutral or trim position can also lead to control issues; adjust the steering trim accordingly. Finally, check all receiver and battery connections to ensure they are properly connected.

Why does my Horizon Hobby Axial SCX-10 III JEEP JLU WRANGLER Motorized Toy Car motor stop and the LED blink?

  Nathaniel JonesSep 7, 2025
  If the motor stops and the LED blinks on your Horizon Hobby Motorized Toy Car, it could be due to low voltage protection, meaning you should recharge or replace the battery when the ESC LED blinks. Alternatively, it could be overheat protection, in which case you should let the motor/ESC cool, and change the setup or gearing to avoid overheating.
