brand new board shark rc surfer won't flex

[dsyl17]

Just got a Board Shark RC surfer, set it up according to directions, charged the batteries, etc. Though the guy flexed right and left once, from then on it hasn't. Nor has the rudder moved in response to the remote. I can use it by using the backward and forward mode, but it's lame.

Any suggestions as to how to get the guy to flex?

I think he was the guy in school that had the magnifying glass for burning things and a slingshot in his back pocket! :D

check the pinion gear on the motor inside the gearbox i have purchased a few of these new for 20 bucks and three of them had the pinions loose on the motor shaft, add a drop of plastic safe ca.
good luck
