FTX controller activates power and steering simultaneously


Kevin Meeks

Recommended Posts

Hi! We’re complete newbies to the crawling hobby, and I’m sure we’ve made a rookie error, but would anyone know why, after charging the battery, our FTX Outlaw Geo now activates power and steering together? If you just turn the steering, it steers and applies power. If you just apply the power, the same thing happens. The Geo is almost brand new - it has been used a handful of times. 
 

We haven’t changed any settings so we’re a bit stumped as to what it could be - there’s nothing visibly damaged or out of place. 
 

Any advice would be much appreciated!

 

Thanks, Kevin

Hi, I thought I’d update this as my RC shop found the problem - the controller had gone out of sync. It didn’t need any parts - the ‘fix’ was to do the following:

 

With the controller off, push the lever to full reverse and the wheel to full right lock. Then simultaneously turn the controller on. Release the lever and the wheel, then push the lever to full forward. Then turn the controller off. That resets it. 
 

I have no idea what we did to cause the problem but apparently there have been a few incidences of this. I hope it helps if anyone else has the same problem!
