Fix an RC That Won't Run

Responding to a plea for help in the forum due to an RC toy that won't run at all I listed a few quick things to check. It's frustrating when a favorite toy or a brand new one won't run. But much of the time the solution is something easy to identify and fairly easy to fix. I've expanded this into a 7 item checklist for Troubleshooting an RC That Won't Run. While this list might not fix your RC, it will solve most problems that regular RC toy owners and new hobby RC owners will encounter and can fix themselves. After you've elminated everything on this list, then it may be time to look more deeply under the body and maybe get more creative. But start with these simple things first.
