    • Re-bind the transmitter and receiver following the binding procedure in the Setup Guide.
    • Ensure no other 2.4GHz devices are operating nearby that could cause interference.
    • Check the receiver antenna for damage and ensure it is positioned correctly and not obstructed by metal parts.
    • Operate within the specified RF range.
  • Incorrect Steering/Throttle Response:
    • Check the 'REV' (Reverse) setting for the affected channel on the transmitter's LCD screen. Adjust if the servo/ESC is moving in the opposite direction.
    • Adjust 'TRIM' settings to center the steering or throttle.
    • Verify servo/ESC connections to the correct receiver channels.
  • LCD Screen Issues:
    • If the screen is dim or flickering, check battery levels.
