  The remote control range might be reduced due to a low battery; check the remote control battery. Also, ensure the control unit antenna is properly wired and positioned. Outside elements like electric pylons or metal-reinforced walls may interfere with the radio signal; consider fitting a remote antenna. Rememorize the remote control. Finally, check the motor wiring.
