Cheers. Ended up sending it back in the end and had the ESC replaced.

Hi Dax. Bizarrely mine just stays solid red whilst charging, and then the light goes out when fully charged (I'm assuming!) Mine did die on me on literally the 2nd day of use, sent it back and was a receiver issue rather than the battery apparently. Decent enough things for a budget rc car though.

Cheers. Definitely think it's the ESC, I'll just send it back

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

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!

Thanks mate, I thought that might have been the case. Total noob here 🙈

Hi, I'm brand new to the RC world so just starting out, so apologies if this question is a stupid one! I've just bought an FTX Ravine as my first RC car. Tried plugging the USB charger into the wall after connecting it to the Ravine's standard battery, and I'm getting a solid red light. Does this mean it is charging? Only reason I ask is that the manual states the red light should flash and the green light should be on. It's brand new straight out of the box, so I don't know if a solid red light is normal or whether the battery is duff? Tried the car out and it is working... Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
