Why is my RC car spinning?
The reason for the spinning would be one (or more) of the tires rubbing the body. This can act like a hand brake at high speed. Check for wheel marks on the body. A loose tire can will also be very unbalance and will cause that end of the car to hop (and lose traction).

- Replace the Batteries.

- Use the Right Transmitter and Frequency.
- Inspect Your Antennas.
- Test Your Servos.
- Reconnect Your Wiring.
- Reset Your Gears.
Why does my RC car not go forward?
If there is no steering, no noise, and no movement, it’s possible you have a bad or worn out motor that needs replacing. Either that or the wires to and from the batteries are loose or disconnected. On a hobby-grade RC, it could be your receiver that’s the culprit.
How does a RC car differential work?
A differential allows a car’s drive wheels to deliver power simultaneously, even as the wheels are traveling at different speeds while cornering. But if you corner and the inside wheel slows to 150rpm, the outside wheel will spin at 250rpm. If it slows to 100rpm, the outside wheel will spin at 300rpm.
What does anti squat do RC?
What is Anti-Squat? Anti-Squat is best described as Caster for the rear wheels…it changes the relation of the inner hinge pins parallel to the ground. The more anti-squat the vehicle has, the less the suspension will squat during acceleration. Adding Anti-Squat will make the car Squat less during acceleration.
What oil do I put in my diff?
Use the highest-quality gear oil you can afford to fill the differential. The weight and capacity will be listed in your owner’s manual; your differential will usually hold as much as 3 quarts. Be sure to read that manual, though, because some limited-slip differentials require a secondary friction-modifying additive.
What does DIFF out mean?
It generally means that one wheel unloades and transmits power from one wheel to another that does not have traction. It will almost totally loose drive traction and unload one wheel that has almost no traction.
Why won’t my remote control car work?
Common use of “RC” today usually refers only to vehicles controlled by radio. So why doesn’t my remote control car work? The most common reason that your remote control car won’t work is because your battery is dead. This can happen in either the car or remote.
Why is my RC car not getting power?
Lack of steering could signal a loose wire to the steering servo. If the RC doesn’t appear to be getting power at all and you know the batteries are good, it could be a loose or disconnected wire from the battery pack or battery compartment that’s causing the problem.
How do I Fix my RC car that won’t move?
Reattaching loose connections or resoldering wires (a bit more involved) may fix the problem. Slipped gears can keep your RC from moving. Unless your gears are stripped they may not need to be replaced.
How do I know if my RC remote is bad?
If you have ever not been able to use your RC car, and changing your RC remote fixed the issue, then that means that your remote control may be bad. If changing the batteries did not change anything but changing the remote did, you probably need a new remote. The internal mechanisms affect a lot of the performance of the RC car.
