Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Car does not respond to remote. | Low battery in car or remote; not paired; out of range. | Charge car battery, replace remote batteries, re-pair car and remote, ensure car is within operating range. |
| Car accelerates immediately upon power-on. | Car powered on before remote control. | Turn off both car and remote. Power on remote first, then car. |
| Car drifts inconsistently or steering is off. | Gyroscope calibration issue; steering trim not adjusted. | Adjust the gyroscope sensitivity on the remote. Use the steering trim dial on the remote to fine-tune straight-line driving. If issues persist after a bump, the gyro may need recalibration (refer to advanced settings if available, or contact support). |
| Short operating time. | Battery not fully charged; aging battery. | Ensure battery is fully charged before use. Consider replacing the battery if it consistently holds less charge. |
