Desperate Help Needed

[thecrow2k]

Me and my dad put together my tt01 kit and got it ready for a little spin and as I turn the car on it immediately goes to forward and the servo moves to put on throttle without me even touching the controller, what could the problem be? Its very irritating this being the first car Ive built

[fatboyslim]

Ok are you 'Switching On' in the correct sequence??

ALWAYS switch your Transmitter on first, then the car,

When switching off it's switch car off first, transmitter last.

If this doesn't stop it or you're doing it this way then are your trim levers in the central position??

[thecrow2k]

Yes I do turn the transmitter on first. This really annoys me and I may just sell it off, I may aswell as Ive been swindled out of 120 pound and my birthday present, what a great day all thanks to tamiya.

So are your transmitter trim levers central??

Are the servo horns central??

What transmitter do you have?

[thecrow2k]

Servo horns centered

Transmitter centered (except right sie thng which is either top or bottom, tried both)

and the transmitter is an acoms

[fatboyslim]

Is the throttle ratio trim lever set right?(on the right of the stick)

I know this is going to sound stupid but when you built the kit did you make sure the servos were central before fitting the horns??

Other than that then all I can say is take it back to the shop and get them to look it over!!

Sorry but it'd be easier to diagnose the problem if I had the car.

id suggest

take off the servo horn that connects to the manual speed control

make sure the speed control is set to neutral

turn on the transmitter then turn on the car

the car shouldnt go anywhere as the msc is centred and has no servo to control it

then make sure all the trims etc is centred on transmitter

then just pop the servo horn back on (car should still be in neutral)

and then away u go

cheers adz

if you have bought the car in the lhs (looking at the price, you must have ) , why not just bring the lot allong to them.

These guys usually know what they are doing, let them take a look

at it.

The Problem is proberly a easy fix, just quite hard to solve by tekst only like this.

Don't give up yet, soon you will have a addiction from those rc cars and you will spend your remaining life all the spare cash on cars [}]

We just took out the servos and put them back and just had a fiddle around and it looks like its workingnow, ill try later today when the batteries fully charged

[jamadz]

fatboyslim and jamadz save the day

lol

[fatboyslim]

Hope it's all working now??

Like Jamadz said Don't give up on it, it was probably something totally simple that as a newbie to the hobby you'd not realise, don't worry we've ALL made daft mistakes somewhere along the way!!
