**Battery Problems**: If your car isn't turning on, it might be the battery. Check if it’s charged or if the connections are loose. Just pop the battery out, give it a good charge, and make sure everything's snug when you put it back in.

**Signal Loss**: If your car isn’t responding to the remote, you might be out of range or there’s interference. Try moving closer or switching to a different frequency if your remote allows it. Sometimes, just replacing the batteries in the remote can do the trick!

**Worn Tires**: If your car isn’t gripping the road, the tires could be worn out. Check for any cracks or bald spots. You can usually just replace them with new ones, or if you're feeling crafty, you can try gluing on some rubber for a temporary fix.

**Loose Screws**: If you hear rattling or notice parts wobbling, you might have some loose screws. Just grab a screwdriver and tighten everything up. It’s a quick fix that can save you from bigger issues down the line!

**Stuck Gears**: If the car isn’t moving smoothly, the gears might be stuck. Try cleaning them out with some compressed air and adding a little bit of lubricant. Just don’t overdo it – a little goes a long way!

**Overheating**: If your car stops working after a short time, it might be overheating. Let it cool down for a bit and check if the motor is clogged with dirt. Cleaning it out can help keep it running smoothly.

**Broken Antenna**: If your car isn’t responding well, the antenna might be damaged. Check to see if it’s bent or broken. You can usually replace it with a new one or even make a makeshift antenna with some wire.
