@tmainwaring posted:Thanks for all of your suggestions. Will check into the antenna issue. Apart from making sure that there's continuity from the antenna wire to the handrails of the loco, what's the best way to test for this problem? I gather that sticking the antenna wire into the air is the way to go, but just wanted to make sure that I understood this correctly.
Also, how do I set the stall speed?
That would be my first test, you don’t need the shell wherever the radio board lives to run the engine, so pop the shell off, and stick the antenna wire straight up, and test, ….if that test is successful, then you need to look hard at the antenna arrangement, making sure there’s no short of the handrails to anything metal, and make sure all handrails used for antenna are connected to the antenna source,….If there’s no change, then you got to look at programming issues, etc, ….I’d approach this in a process of elimination, ….knowing and being able to say with authority, that you don’t have an antenna issue, and then it’s time to move on to other variables…
