My board powers on and connects, but nothing happens when I hit the throttleUpdated a day ago

If your board powers on, connects to the remote, and shows full battery, but won’t move when you hit the throttle, the first thing to check is the deadman switch.


What to do:

  1. Hold down the deadman switch (the small button underneath the remote).

  2. While holding it, try using the throttle again.

The deadman switch is a safety feature that prevents accidental acceleration. If it’s not pressed, the throttle won’t respond.

Still no luck?

If the switch is engaged and the board still doesn’t respond, it could be a hardware fault with the remote or maybe the motor controller. Let us know what you’ve tried so far and we’ll loop in our Tech Team to assist further.
