Radio Control Caterpillar Toys
Radio control caterpillar moving around by itself?
My daughter has this radio control caterpillar with an on-off switch on the caterpillar, and no on-off switch on the controller. I guess we left the caterpillar “on” last night, and I woke up several times to the thing moving around on its own. Nothing was touching the controller. Is this normal with radio control toys? Because it scared the poop out of me.
I’m not the type to jump to conclusions, so I’m going to assume that it’s NOT anything paranormal at this point (no need to call a priest). But does anybody know if this sort of thing is common with radio control toys? Maybe it’s picking up a radio signal similar to what the controller puts out?
takari_60087, THANK YOU. I appreciate it! I’ll give you 10 points as soon as it allows me to pick a top answer.
yes this is normal
your toy is picking up interference from outside sources
this happens if you live near any sort of broadcast tower or military base
by law your toy must accept any outside signal even if it causes unwanted or erratic operation
to avoid this situation ensure it is turned off when not being used
another option would be to change the frequency the toy operates on
but be dvised this can be far more costly than the toy was to buy
