ANSWERQUESTION
I’ve installed fresh batteries and double-
checked the polarity and connection, but my
R/C RIDE still won’t budge.
After a hard impact, my R/C RIDE quit working.
Can more than one RIDEMAKERZ R/C RIDE
operate at once in the same area?
Make sure the vehicle and the transmitter are set to the same Frequency Band (1, 2, or 3). Each
RIDEMAKERZ R/C vehicle and transmitter has three Band settings. A transmitter set to Band 1 will
only operate a vehicle set to Band 1. A transmitter set to Band 2 will only operate a vehicle set to Band
2, and so on. The Band selector switch on the transmitter is located on the bottom right side of the
transmitter face (opposite the ON/OFF switch). The Band selector switch on the vehicle is located be-
neath the battery case (you must remove the battery case from the battery compartment to access this
switch – see above for instructions). Once both Bands are set to the same setting, turn the transmitter
and vehicle ON and take your RIDE for a test drive!
The battery case may not have been properly seated and locked and the contacts are no longer making
proper contact. Remove the battery compartment cover using a Phillips head screwdriver; unlock the
battery case (turning the tab clockwise to loosen the battery case). Remove the case and reinsert it
firmly. If you have a rechargeable Ni-Cd battery pack, reconnect the connection cables from the Ni-Cd
battery pack and the vehicle. Turn the locking tab counterclockwise making sure that the tab fits over
the small tab that extends from the battery case/Ni-Cd battery pack. Replace the battery compartment
cover and try the R/C function again.
Yes! In order to allow for up to three R/C vehicles of the same frequency to operate independently
of one another, each RIDEMAKERZ R/C vehicle has three Band settings. A transmitter set to Band 1
will only operate a vehicle set to Band 1. A transmitter set to Band 2 will only operate a vehicle set to
Band 2, and so on. The Band selector switch on the transmitter is located on the bottom right side of
the transmitter face (opposite the ON/OFF switch). The Band selector switch on the vehicle is located
beneath the battery case (you must remove the battery case from the battery compartment to access
this switch – instructions above).
