Default My Nitro RC went out of control..What's wrong..

At about the 5 meter distance mark, my Nitro just go out of control! It's not receiving any signal from the radio at that distance! Does anybody know the cause of that? is it low battery with my radio or something else?

By the way, my antenna had been fully extended

Did you try replacing all the batteries, in both the radio and truck? Also did you range check before trying to drive it and do you have a failsafe? You should always range check and you should always have a failsafe on a nitro. If replacing the batteries doesnt work check the condition of the receiver antenna, also try it somewhere else you may be getting bad interference. If all that's ok then you'll need to send it back for repair.

make you there are no tears in the antenna wire. if that doesn't work try a different radio system, something could have come undone inside the radio.

how old is the vehichle?
what is it?

Get a failsafe, it will apply the brake if the signal is lost.

Are you using a Rechargeable Pack? or Alkalines ? Dry cells do not have the Current draw Capacity of a good Nimh Pack, and will sag when Current Demand is High......

hi, guys. I managed to fix the problem. I don't know if there's a direct relationship but I have my battery compartment and the batteries to be wet. Even though the batteries has been wrapped in plastic bag, the water went in.
