Status: offline 		Okay, I got my tornado today brand new...got the engine running finally after messing with it...did some figure 8's like the book talks about, and ran through about 3 tanks. Then switched batteries. My next run the car locks up and won't let me control it. Now all I can do is control it within a few feet of the car..maybe within 10 feet, and that's it..after that it's totally locked-out. I tried newer batteries and nothing much better...i even tried a battery pack instead of the 4 AA's in the car.... any ideas?

Hurricane XP
Hurricane XP Pro
Avalanche XP
Monsoon XP
Tsunami UltraWide

I`d do what papa said first if that doesn`t work then, if you have another receiver and radio try it out I think your receiver might be bad. I had one crap out on me before I even used it, I had to touch the radio antenna to the receiver tube for it to move.
