Re: Turning Trouble!
jerkyness can also be caused be a WEAK batery!! ! ! !
push the 'select button' on the Operator interface until it shows the batery voltage.. *using a multimeter at this time is not the solution, it may read 12V, but while driving is a different story..
while driving and making turns, abserve how the voltage meter changes..(should fluctuate) if your voltage drops below about 7 (even momentarily) thats a sign your batery is getting low, you will start having those problems turning!... this is partially due to the friction on your wheels as well, as that will increase the amp draw on all the motors, hence making your batery pay the price..
hope that helps.
