May need a bit more info.


What were you doing at the time?
What have you tried so far to snuff it out?

Was it just after starting?
Could the battery voltage be a tad low? These things are very sensitive to having the right voltage during their power on self tests.

Track Fail will occasionally flash up when starting with a weak battery or if it's really cold outside.

If you have the radio code and know how to re programme it, try disconnecting the battery for a while and then re connect. This does a hard reset on all the modules and if it's just a random message and not an actual fault may clear it.

If not take all the wheels off and have a look at the speed sensors on the hubs for evidence of damage or broken wires. If that's no good then you'll have to get a scan done to isolate the fault which should cost no more than a hour's labour.

Ill try and see if we have the code for the radio and disconnect the battery? It is cold here, so might be that? Not done anything to make it come on, just started it and it was there? thanks for the help.
