I have a question that I think I already know the answer to but I'll ask anyway. I won a MBX off of ebay and it is in really great condition. I installed new AA batteries in the buggy and transmitter and was ready to go. The "quick start" really sucks and as soon as I can, I will be getting a pull start for the thing. Now, I got it fired up and it was running great. I gave it a little gas and it took off like a lightning bolt. The trouble is though, I could not get it to respond to the transmitter. It just hauled booty into my neighbors yard and flipped (thankfully)! As long as I am standing over it or pretty close, it does pretty well as far as steering and gas/brake. But when it gets a few feet away, there she goes.
Now, I installed brand new RayoVac batteries. This was the first time I ever used them as they were on sale at Lowe's. I usually use Energizers without ever having a problem. Could it be that the Rayovac batteries don't have enough juice to controll the car or could it be the tranmitter/receiver? It has a basic OFNA tranmitter (AM) and towerhobbies 3 ch. reveiver.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... Thanks |
