START UP AND OPERATION:
IMPORTANT:
Your Revolt is a true racing boat. In our quest to provide you with
the very best performance, we feel it is important to remind you
that the water pickup that cools the electronics is located on the
left side of the rudder blade. The reason it is mounted on the
left is, in RC boat racing we take advantage of prop torque and
turn left on the racing circuit (“typically this is an oval course”).
CAUTION:
Constantly turning right can cause a loss of cooling
to the electronics and should be avoided.
4 x “AA”
LED
1.
If you have the Performance 2.4GHz version, install 4 “AA”
batteries into the transmitter using the installation pattern molded
into the bottom of the battery tray. Turn on the transmitter, making
sure it’s working by viewing the LED on the front. The LED should
glow bright red.
2.
Remove the canopy and install the batteries, making sure
they are well strapped in and seated.
3.
Plug the batteries into the motor controller and you’re ready
to arm the system.
At this time you will hear one beep. To arm the system, squeeze
the throttle trigger and hold until you hear one more beep.
Release the throttle trigger and you will hear three more beeps.
Your boat is now ready to operate.
Note:
You will have to go
though this simple arming procedure each time to run your boat.
If your boat does not beep after plugging in the batteries, slowly
turn the throttle trim knob lower “a lesser percentage” until you
hear the boat beep. Then continue the arming process.

Your boat is now ready to operate!
Now is a good time to check the rotation of the prop. Power the
system back up, arm it and quickly squeeze the throttle trigger
and check the direction of the motor. It should spin the propeller
counterclockwise when viewing the boat from the back. If the
motor spins the wrong way, simply switch any two of the three
wires between the motor and the controller.
WARNING:
Do not
hold the throttle down for more than one or two seconds to check
the motor direction or you might risk damaging the motor. Also
check the steering direction. When you turn the wheel to the right
the back of the rudder blade should also move to the right.
Install the cowl and tape in place. You are now ready to run the
boat.
After you have completed your run, bring the boat in, un-tape
and unplug the batteries.
Be careful as electronic parts can
become very hot during operation.
Allow the electronics to
cool before running the boat again.
TIPS AND NOTES:
The handling and performance of your Revolt can be disrupted
by the smallest obstructions in the water. If you happen to pick
up a small duck feather or leaf, the power system could draw
more current than the motor controller is capable of handling;
the performance of the boat will be compromised and you could
damage the motor, ESC or batteries. Please make sure the water
you are running in is clear or obstructions.
It’s also important to note that if you operate the boat for extended
periods of time at less than full throttle, you could overheat the
motor controller. Be mindful of this as you operate the boat.
