explain how you are useing the buddy box , ?

does it have batteries in it , ? if it does remove them

does it have a crystal in it ? if it does remove it .

make sure that the channels are correct IE switched to the same direction and same controls on the sticks .

do not even turn the switch on ,on the buddy box it is not needed.

other than that I cannot think of a reason for the surfaces to change when it is in use .
