I bought a cheap RC car from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BRXFSSTJ...t_details&th=1) and it's been a blast to play with. The girls seem to enjoy it too.
It's very capable, giving a surprising amount of performance through tall grass, some minor obstacles, etc.
Lately there's been an issue with it stopping during driving, and blinking its lights rapidly. As soon as I let off the trigger for a second, it stops blinking then seems ok to drive a little more.
I've noticed the "lights blinking/pause" action routinely during two operations - driving over an obstacle or if the vehicle has to struggle a bit, like tall grass, and going in reverse.
What I've done to troubleshoot:
- make sure all bindings are clear and no wires seem frayed or snapped
- new batteries in controller
- trying different combinations of turning controller off and vehicle off and then back on
The problem persists - what can I check for next?
