Traxxas Revo Troubleshooting

We all can't be the driver of a large monster truck -- but there are many scale model trucks for those who want to get a little taste of the feeling of being behind the wheel of one. The Traxxas Revo is a model monster truck built to 1/10 scale of a real monster truck. An operator or enthusiast controls the self-powered monster truck replica using a hand-held remote controller. It comes with a controller to operate it. If you are having technical issues with your Traxxas Revo monster truck, you can troubleshoot the problem as a first and hopefully last measure toward fixing it.

Instructions

- 1
  Remove the battery from the truck if you are unable to start it. Place the battery on the EZ-Start charger and let it charge for several hours. Remove the battery from the charger and place it back onto the truck and try to start it again. If the problem continues, you may need to replace the battery.
- 2
  Fill the fuel tank with nitro fuel if you are still unable to start the truck or if it comes on for a few seconds and then dies. Check the exhaust on the vehicle to ensure that there are no items blocking it and remove them if there are. Make sure that the throttle trigger is set to the neutral position before trying to start it again.
- 3
  Press the fuel primer on the side of the engine if you still cannot start the engine or if it will not run for more than a few seconds, to force fuel into the carburetor. Make sure that the red fuel clip is released and that there are no small leaks or blockages in the fuel lines of the vehicle.
- 4
  Check the LED light on the remote control for the truck if you are unable to control the truck with it or if the truck seems unresponsive while driving it. If the battery is low on power, this light will blink or fade in and out. If the battery is dead this light will not turn on. Open the battery compartment and insert fresh batteries and try again.
