My RC boat is unable to turn left or right:

Firstly, please check whether the potentiometer plugs inside the remote controller are loose or not. And then check the servo plug. Please plug them in tightly. Steps for troubleshooting:
1. Please adjust the trim button on the remote to see whether the servo moves or not. If the servo remains still, the servo is probably defective.
2. If the servo moves after adjusting the Trim button, the remote controller is probably defective.


Attention: Please kindly record the issue video and email our support team via support@alpharev.com for further analysis. Please be sure that we will provide you with a satisfying solution.

  • We have the same issue, and believer the servo is defective.  It appears that is something that we could replace.  Are those servo's available?

  • Thank you for contacting us and we are willing to help.

    Different models of remote control boats have different replacement part, because some installation steps are more complicated, it is not easy to disassemble and assemble. Some of our remote control boats have replacement servo, some do not.

    You can search for the accessories you need in our store:https://www.amazon.com/stores/ALPHAREVOFFICIAL/page/3FAD3F55-6413-4252-962F-0F85B4CC036B?ref_=ast_bln

  • Hello!

    I have an issue with my Alpharev R308 boat. It turns out that my boat is not turning either left or right. I opened the remote control to check the potentiometer plugs and the servo plug, but I didn't find any apparent damage, although I'm not an expert in electronics.

    I would like to know what else I can do to check if my boat is defective or not?

    I appreciate your assistance in this matter.

    Best regards,

     

    Juan Pablo Montoya.

    1. Please adjust the trim button on the remote controller to see whether the steering rudder moves or not. If the steering rudder remains still, the servo is probably defective.
