Question i have 1/10 scale 4wd battery powered race truck. When I turn on my controler it goes crazy(forward,backward,wheels turning)out of control. any advise would be great. im lost!
Answer Hi Chip,
Some more info on the brand/model of truck you have would be helpful. Common causes for this behavior would be: loose crystal in controller or receiver, incorrect crystal in controller or receiver, outside interference from another source, or low batteries in controller.
