Thanks for the replies. Sounds like it could be the battery. It goes many months without being used, sometimes it's left flat, other times I charge it and then leave it in the box for months. I'm guessing this isn't the best approach.

There’s no mention of that in there. Can’t see any switches other than the on/off and pairing button.

No, just 7.2v nimh

Hi, apologies if this isn’t the right place to post questions. I have a Ripmax Husky which runs great. Very fast and responsive. However after about 5 minutes it stops working properly, and will only move an inch forward before emitting three beeps. I assumed this meant the battery was flat - but if you pick up the car, pressing the throttle makes the wheels spin as though it still has full power. I’ve tried re-pairing the controller but this doesn’t make any difference. My battery is only 1300mAh, which is less powerful than others. Also the “straw” holding the antenna broke ages ago, but this doesn’t seem to affect performance. Thanks in advance for any advice.
