Default RC model car (TT) - runs backwards even with remote off....

I know some of you have these things. Ever seen something like that?

ESC or a manual speed control?

Default unintended acceleration--now plagues Audi's RC cars :)

Probably just some interference. Change the frequency.

Unfortunately, the frequency isn't adjustable. 27MHz, no dip switches. Feh!

Default if its a mechanical speed control, ALWAYS unplug the battery...

if its an electronic speedo, then i donno. hahaha

no seriously, are you sure the esc if turned off when you turn your remote off??
oh and about the frequency, you cant change it (unless you get a new radio/reciever) but you can change the channel. but you dont have much choice with 27 mhz( 6 or 7, they go by colors)

good luck

Default Could you elaborate?...

by which I mean, can you repeat what you are saying in longer explanations? ;^) Some of what you say may be joking, but at this late hour, I can't tell what is what....

What do you mean "speed control"? This car seems to run at full speed, the throttle is an on/off switch, it seems. But that may be due to the problem I'm having.

What is esc? Are we talking about the same product? This is not like the hobbyist RC cars, it is just a consumer toy, the TT RC car that Audi Collection sells.

There is no place to select a channel, not that I can see, and I've had the circuit board out.

And, what is that about the order of turning things off? I didn't even follow what you were talking about, much less why the order makes any difference.

Thanks... I'm ready to ship it back.
