Pete 85 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 (edited) Hoping someone might have some insight... So yesterday my Ravine just stopped working. Charged the battery to full, the transmitter has brand new batteries in, but neither the throttle or the steering are working. I've only had the car since Friday and used it on small rock piles and dirt mounds. When I turn the transmitter on I'm getting flashing red and green lights, no movement in the car itself when I try to power it on. As I'm just starting out I'm no good at diagnosing faults, so before I jump the gun and send the car back to the retailer does anyone have any potential solution? I'm trying to get hold of a voltmeter to test the battery to see if that's the issue. Until I'm confident with messing around with parts I don't want to take the motors, ESC or servos apart as yet in case I invalidate the warranty. Thanks in advance for any help!

windz1000r Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Does the turning work ? Try rebinding the controller to esc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete 85 Posted July 10, 2022 Author Share Posted July 10, 2022 I'm getting no steering at all. I've tried turning the controller on and then holding down the on/off switch on the car (which I'm assuming binds it) but no luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete 85 Posted July 10, 2022 Author Share Posted July 10, 2022 Cheers. Definitely think it's the ESC, I'll just send it back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ag100 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Not sure if the esc is the same but some one had a similar issue on their HiRock, the linked thread seems to have sorted it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ended up sending it back in the end and had the ESC replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
