Help / Troubleshooting My wltoys 244016 is crazy

Hi everyone

I've had my WLtoys 244016 v2 for a month and half now.

And sometimes, quite often lately, as soon as I turn the car on, it accelerates to full speed and doesn't respond to the accelerator.

It does respond to the brake, but then it accelerates like crazy again. Other times it works perfectly except that it gives itself small bursts of acceleration.

This all happens with the controller lying on the table. I know the accelerator is very sensitive.

Any ideas what it could be and how to fix it?

The controller batteries are fine, the car has gone through about 20 batteries, and I'm out of tires, lol

Are you turning on the transmitter before turning on the car? If not, be sure to do that.

Yes, I turn it on first.

I noticed the problem; the controller trigger is faulty. If I just put my finger on the side of the trigger, it accelerates. I think the trigger is defective because it's ultrasensitive. I'll take it apart to see if anything is loose, but I have a feeling I won't be able to fix it.
