Why Horizon Hobby axial UTB18 Capra Motorized Toy Car system will not connect?
- D
  Debbie BlackburnAug 19, 2025
  The Horizon Hobby Motorized Toy Car system might fail to connect due to several reasons. It could be that the transmitter and receiver are too close; try moving the transmitter 8 to 12 feet away from the receiver. Metal objects nearby can also interfere with the connection, so move to an area with less metal. Ensure the correct model memory is active in your transmitter, as the receiver might be bound to a different model memory. Finally, if your transmitter was placed into bind mode, rebind your transmitter and receiver, and then re-calibrate.
