TROUBLESHOOTING:
No signal between the transmitter and
the boat (Performance 2.4GHz version):
Check to make sure the transmitter is bound to the receiver. To
bind: With the transmitter turned on and the batteries plugged
into the boat, press and hold the bind button on the top of the
receiver (use a tooth pick or other small pointed object) for
approximately 4 seconds or until the system binds. You will know
it is bound when the small LED hidden behind the face of the
receiver stops fl ashing and stays lit.
Boat runs backwards:
Switch any two of the three motor wires.
Motor Controller will not arm:
Move the throttle trim knob slowly clockwise (or a lesser
percentage) to adjust the center point of the throttle system.
Boat is slow to take off:
First make sure the cable coupler is tight. If it’s OK, try being
more aggressive with the throttle during the launch or toss the
boat forward with more force, applying power as the boat touches
the water.
Boat slows down or shuts off in the middle of a run:
Check for weeds on the prop or any obstruction blocking the
water cooling pick up.
After a run the motor, batteries and or motor controller are very hot:
Check to make sure the water pickup is not plugged. Check
to see that the prop is not bent or that you have changed to a
propeller that is too large for the power system.
HOW TO UPDATE YOUR BOAT TO USE
A SINGLE 4S BATTERY PACK:
This is a little more advanced so if you are not comfortable
making the changes below, DO NOT ATTEMPT this until you
have more experience. The advantages, however, are worth the
extra work. We are going to show you a few ways to do this.
We are going to show you three options for how to update your
boat to use a single 4S pack. The advantages to a single 4S pack
are a lower roll center in the boat.
NOTE:
Extreme care must be
used when changing and using different connectors in your boat.
Start by unplugging the motor from the controller. Also remove
the radio lead from the receiver. Remove the Motor Controller
from the boat.
NOTE:
You do not need to remove the controller if
following Option 1.
OPTION 1
(Easiest and still allows
the use of two 2S packs):
Tools and supplies needed are:
1 female Deans
®
connector
1 short length of 12 or 14 gauge wire
1 length of large shrink tubing
Soldering Iron (TrakPower
™
TK950, TKPR0950)
Solder, (TrakPower Lead Free Solder, TKPR0975)
Hobby knife
Wire cutters
Lighter or heat gun
1.
Begin by tinning (pre-applying) solder to both the positive and
negative solder tabs on the Deans connector; also remove about
3/4" of insulation off one end of the length of wire and tin the
exposed wire as well.
