• Neverpointthetransmitteraerialdirectlyatthemodel.Thisdecreasestherange.
• Checktheconditionofthereceiveraerial.Isittornoff(e.g.fromthevehicleturningover)orshortenedorcoiled?
This greatly reduces the range!
The vehicle doesn‘t drive in a straight line correctly
• Adjustthesteeringtrimmeratthetransmitter.
• Checkthesteeringrods,theservoarmanditsscrewconnectionsorthewheelalignmentsetting.
• Didyourcarhaveanaccident?Ifso,checkthevehicleforanydefectiveorbrokenpartsandreplacethem.
Steering works opposite to the way the wheel is turned at the transmitter
• Activatethesteeringreversesettingatthetransmitter.
Driving works opposite to the movement of the throttle/brake lever at the transmitter
• Usually,thevehiclehastodriveforwardswhenthethrottle/brakeleveratthetransmitterispulledtowardsthehand-
le. If this is not the case, activate the reverse setting for driving at the transmitter.
The steering is not functioning or is functioning incorrectly, steering deection at the vehicle insufcient
• Ifthevehicleisstandingontheground,thevehicle‘sweightwillcausethesteeringservotoworkcorrectlyonlyonce
the model is driven normally. Place the vehicle on an appropriate underground to test the steering (e.g. an assembly
stand) so that all wheels can move freely.
• Ifthetransmitteroffersdualratesettings,checkthesesettings(observetransmitter’soperatinginstructions).Ifthe
dualratesettingistoolow,thesteeringdeectionisveryloworthesteeringservowillnolongerreact.
The same applies for the so-called EPA setting (= „End-Point-Adjustment“, setting of the end positions for the servo
path to protect the servo mechanics) if present at the transmitter.
• Checkthesteeringmechanicsforlooseparts;e.g.checkiftheservoarmisproperlyattachedtothesteeringservo.
In spite of the servo saver, it is possible that the servo arm breaks or jumps due to hard impact. The same applies
for the gear in the steering servo.
• Thesteeringmechanicsarestiffbecauseofdirtorrust.Checkandcleanthecompletesteeringmechanics.
• Usenobatteriesforthepowersupplyofthereceiver,butonlyahigh-current-capablebatterypack(e.g.asuitable
5-cell NiMH receiver battery).
Weak braking function
• Adjustthethrottle/brakefunctionneutralpositionatthetransmitter.Ifthetrimpathisnotsufcient,checktheposition
of the servo arm on the throttle/brake servo and its screw connections.
• Checkthelinkagebetweenthethrottle/brakeservoandcarburettor/brake.
• Checktheconditionofthebrakepadsorreplacethem.
