Official FMS FCX24 Chevy K5 Blazer 1/24 Scale 4WD Crawler Discussion Thread

[hooked on hobbies]

I see, sounds like a DOA battery. Glad it wasn't anything more serious. FMS or Motion RC customer service will most likely make it right for you. Thanks for responding!

It is charged. It was a new FMS battery to be used as a spare. When I put the original back in after charging everything works fine.

Is the battery charged? Often the LiPo will have enough voltage to illuminate the LED's but not operate the servo or motor. Secondly, I suggest checking the servo and ESC connectors in the receiver to insure the integrity of those connections.

Both TX and rx are bound. I can turn the lights on. Nothing else responds. Neither steering or acceleration. Any suggestions?

High Clearance Portal Axles Equipped with precision off-road portal axles, the chassis has improved the minimum ground clearance through the portal axles, so it has off-road performance far exceeding that of products of the same size.

High-Performance Chassis Frame The integrally formed frame is made of high-strength nylon, allowing for a lower center of gravity, lighter weight, and higher strength than traditional models.

Terrain-Focused Tires Tires and metal plating wheels come with tremendous grip and precise steering character, giving driver confidence while navigating rough off-road conditions whatever rocks, mud, and sand.

Safer & Longer Lifespan Battery The 7.4 volts LiPo battery with 380mAh provides strong power for up to 30 minutes of running time. While built-in PCM (protective circuit management) can protect the battery from overcharging/over-discharging for higher safety and reliability.
