Broken Digi Q - Pls. HELP! -

I just got my digi Q, Red WRX Impreza. It worked fine for the first two charges, but started acting weird after that. First it stopped working all together. Then it worked fined. Now the right wheel won't stop running. When I use the controller, I could control the left wheel. If you turn the car, the right wheel slows down. So the controller works, it's the right wheel is where the problem is. It won't stop running. Dose anybody have a solution?

Thanks,

Here's your checklist.

- Clean the tires, wheels and any possible gunk that might be in there
- When you first turn on the controller, MAKE SURE you WAIT until the flashing red light goes SOLID red before touching the controls!
- Turn the car and controller off for a minute. Then turn the controller on (remember to wait on the solid red light), then turn on the car
- Check to make sure your Steering and Throttle trim are centered

Well, that's all i can think of to help, for now.

Good luck!

Thanks for you help, but it still has the problem. I took it apart and found no problems with it. It looks like the problem lies with the circuit board or something, There was no physical damage (eg. loose wires).

Can anyone else help?

I think I found the problem. Looking under the circuit board, one of the chips was corroded on one side. Maybe moisture got inside from shipping? I emailed Hobby Link Japan about the problem and they sent me a new one. It was great dealing with them. I truly recommend buying from HLJ.com Thanks for everyone’s help.
Does anybody know how I can remove the corrosion from the circuit board? Maybe if I clean it up, the problem might be solved.
