7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Car does not respond to remote control. | Low car battery, low remote control batteries, not paired, out of range. | Charge car battery, replace remote control batteries, re-pair car and remote, ensure within 30m range. |
| Car drives crookedly. | Steering fine adjustment needed. | Use the steering fine adjustment device on the chassis to correct the alignment. |
| Short battery life. | Battery not fully charged, old battery. | Ensure battery is fully charged (25 mins). Consider replacing the battery if it's old and performance has degraded. |
| Interference when operating multiple cars. | Possible frequency overlap (less common with 2.4GHz). | The 2.4GHz remote control system is designed to minimize interference. If issues occur, try operating cars further apart or re-pairing them one by one. |
