i jsut got my new digiQ and after the first charge it took off like a shot

but now after a couple charges its moving super slow

i checked the gears and what not and there is no fuzz or particals blocking them
it jsut seems like the car has less and less kick after every charge

and i have only had it since yesterday

also does anyone know of any codes for the digi Q
or even how to use them?

thanks

You need a Special Controller to enter codes. Do you have one?

As far as your car slowing down, I would suspect it's not charging all the way...............maybe your remote batteries are dying.........maybe you are not letting the battereis die before recharging?

no i just got it yesterday
the batteries are new

it worked good for three charges

it was considerably faster than any of my other tiny r/cs for those charges

so its not from long term battery misuse

how fast is the average digi Q?
and does it stay that fast?

maybe i jsut got a bad battery or something

anybody with any info please help

well...the skylines are said to be the fastest....i have a pennzoil on the way...but my lancer would fly on my tiles in my basement...even in my garage....they pretty quik.....i suggest..drain the battery completely then give a charge

besides trying to recondition your batts, dissamble the car and looka nd see if your batteries are leeking or something. To take apart the car, just unscrew the one screw in the bottom front of the car and the boddy pops off.

i found the problem

nothing but hair and fuzz wound around the motor tip
i was checking the gears
but i had to take the gear tip off the motor

i think it was trying o weave a hat or something

thanks guys

Just so you know, that gear tip off the motor is called a pinion gear :)

Glad you have your Digi Q back up to speed :D
