| I'm wondering whether I have a faulty 1/4 size K9 or whether this is just a common thing.
K9 moves fine when he's going forwards and backwards, but VERY often, if I try to turn him left or right, he acts like he's got low batteries or something, and doesn't turn. If I try the old "one stick forward, one stick back", he sometimes makes a quick turn, and other times just dies and doesn't move, although you can hear the motor.
If I didn't know better, I'd say the batteries were low, but they are brand-spankin new out of the pack.
Just trying to decide whether to get an exchange. Any help greatly appreciated! |

| Are you using him on carpet? Mine does what you've described on carpet, but is fine on tile or wood floors. |

| I've tried both, actually, and he seems to work BETTER on carpet. My gut feeling is that he's damaged. The controller was scratched on the back when I opened it, and I'm wondering if somebody got overzealous during the "testing phase" at the toy company! |

| Funny enough mine is in perfect shape and I dont want him. He is in the adoption agency at Ebay right now, so hopefully he will get a new home. Figures that I dont want him so he is perfect. |

| Sounds like a faulty unit. Is it too late to return it to the purchaser? |

| What sort of a return policy for K-9 does WhoNA have if he's defective? |

| Wow, I won't be able to get K9 to work at all as I can't even open the damn battery case for the remote control. God, these screws are just so damn cheap. They strip so easily!
Edit: Turns out, I just had to lever the lid off. I am definitely not screwing it back down though!
It sure as heck wasn't as much of a pain in the butt when one of the screws that held K9 down was stripped. I had to turn K9 in order to loosen the screw!
K9 himself works fantastically. My only gripe is that the wheels sometimes click noisily. |
