Losi LOSB0105BD - Manual (Page 19)

Many questions are the result of simple user errors or
minor adjustments which are easily addressed. If after
reading below you cannot resolve your problem, then
please call the Horizon Support Team at 1-877-504-0233.
Radio system does not work properly:
If the power light on the transmitter is not turning on, first ensure
the batteries are installed correctly. You should also check that
the batteries are good and/or if rechargeable are fully charged.
Replace them if needed. If the power light is blinking, then the
transmitter batteries are weak and should be replaced.
Short radio range:
If the radio range appears short, make sure the batteries are all
fully charged and/or are in good condition. Another tip is to make
sure that your receiver’s antenna is free from cuts, abrasions or
kinks.
Steering assembly:
Occasionally, check the steering assembly and you may notice
increased looseness. There are a couple components which will
wear out from use: tie rod ends (LOSB2015); the servo saver
(LOSB2356). You can easily replace these components to
restore factory specifications.
Steering works but the motor will not run:
The speed control may have gotten too hot and thermally shut
down. Allow time for the speed control to cool. If this is the
problem and has happened a few times, consider using a
smaller pinion or a larger spur gear.
Check the transmission; do the rear wheels spin easily?
Check that a motor wire has not come loose.
Verify that the electronic speed control is plugged into the throttle
channel of the receiver.
Check using another battery. Contact the Horizon Support
Team at 1-877-504-0233 for service instructions.
Steering servo does not work:
Check all wires, radio system, battery connectors and the battery
pack. Contact
Horizon Support Team at 1-877-504-0233 for
service instructions.
Motor runs backwards:
The black wire lead from the motor should be connected to the
black wire lead from the ESC and the same for the red wires. If
not, please correct by swapping the wires. If you are still
experiencing problems please contact the
Horizon Support
Team at 1-877-504-0233 .
Motor starts running immediately after the battery has
been connected:
There may be internal ESC damage. Contact the Horizon
Support Team at 1-877-504-0233 .
Troubleshooting Your 1/10 Strike SCT
Vehicle runs slowly/slow acceleration:
Check the battery connectors.
Confirm that the battery is charged.
Vehicle will not reverse:
Make sure the throttle trim is at neutral.
Recalibrate/Set up the ESC (see page 8).
Check to see if the ESC is in forward only mode that does not
have reverse active.
Keep stripping spur gears:
Improper gear mesh, refer to page 18.
Improperly adjusted slipper, refer to page 17.
