I wanted to try one of these, and was able to pick one up on ebay. Unfortunately, I can't get it to work. After looking through all the threads, it seems that there is a very specific charging/starting sequence.

1. Turn off car
2. Turn on controller wait for light to stop blinking
3. Charge car (can take up to 20 minutes)
4. When charge light turns green remove car from charger
5. Turn off controller
6. Turn on car
7. Switch channel switch to appropriate setting (shown on the back and underside of car) on controller
8. Turn on controller

Here's what's happening. After I put the car on the charger, I get no charging light for about 5 minutes, then finally the red charging light turns on. After a while, about 10-15 minutes, the charging light turns green, and I remove the car. I've charged the car about 4 times, but nothing happens when I try to run the car. I've changed the batteries in the controller/charger, and put freshly charged batteries in it. I've made sure that the controller is on channel 2, since the car shows ID2 on the back sticker, and on the underside of the car. Can anyone give me any suggestions on what to do? Can the batteries in the car be dead? Is there anyway to check? Thanks for your help.
