I start up my tornado bb and i take the igniter out and i try to press the gas and the car just stays in the same spot can some one tell me what the problem is?

Ok I got ya, if this is the very first time ever running the car I would check and make sure the crystals in the transmitter and reciever have the same numbers on them, if they don't you run to your LHS and see if they have an AM crystal set. If the crystals are the same then that means you have a bad transmitter. The redcat radio sets are supposed to have a 30 day warrenty. If the case is that you have a bad radio set we will warranty it for you or i'm sure clermontmotorsports will too, all you have to do is send the old radio and we will gladly send you a brand new radio free of charge.


You can get those parts from either allaboutfunhobbies or Clermontmotorsports.

How can i check to see if i have the same number or what ever and this is my first time

ok, face the front of controler(where the steering knob is) towards you and look to the right of the knob, there will be a little plate that has some numbers on it they will say something like 27.195mhz or 27.127mhz, don't take the number on the outside for as the absolute crystal number. Take a small pair of needle nose plyers or something that you can gently pull the crystal box out, now look at the side of the crystal and you will see some numbers printed in black on the side of the crystal, that is your crystal number. Now on the car open the box where the batteries are and the reciever is in side there, that's the deal that the antena is coming out of and all the servos are plugged into, check the crystal in that by pulling the crystal out with the little white tag that is connected to it, there will be a number printed on the tag it should match the crystal in the radio. If they don't match you will need to either get a new set on line or go to your Local Hobby Shop and get a new AM crystal set. If they do match try putting the crystal back in the where they belong and make sure everything is plugged in and try it again with everything apart. If it still doesn't work you will need a new radio set.

I have checked the numbers their both the same now the car is not responding to moving the tire left to right

get a new radio system, the stock systems dont seem to be very good, i have had to replace 2 already, get a futaba, if you get a redcat one again it will just give you problems again even if it is free, you can get a new system with new transmitter, reciever and 2 servos for less than $50 http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...=LXASX3**&P=ML

He's right you should get a new one if that ones not working.
