OPERATING THE REMOTE CONTROL
•
Run your Radicator never with low transmitter batteries or 7.2V Racing Pack.
• Never forget switch off the radio after running your Radicator, otherwise the batteries do not last long.
• Turn on the transmitter fi rst, then the vehicle.
• After driving fi rst turn off the vehicle, then the transmitter.
• For optimal use fi rst check the steering and throttle trim positions:
Steering Trim
The Racicator should go straight without turning the steering wheel. If not, rotate the Steering Trim knob in the direction
needed for the vehicle to go straight.
Electronic Speed Control Setup
Turn off the ESC by using the power switch. •
Connect the motor, battery and receiver as shown in Fig. below. •
Switch on the radio and move throttle stick to neutral. •
Switch on the ESC (the motor will move slightly). •
Radio throttle stick stays at neutral. •
Press “Set” Button and hold until the LED lamp turns off and the motor stops movement. •
Move the radio throttle stick to full throttle and then press the setup button (the LED lamp will fl ash) •
Move the radio throttle stick to full brake and then press the setup button (the LED lamp will turn off). •
Caution: The ESC built with 2 LEDs, red and blue. After completing the setup procedure, move the throttle stick •
slightly. If the blue LED blinks, the ESC is in forward mode. And its in reverse mode, if the red LED lights up.
- If the car is stuck in the mud or obstructed by grass, stones etc., do not attempt to increase the throttle power
of the car in either the forward or backward dirction. Failure to adhere to this would result in over-current and
burn the MOSFET in the ESC (causing a smell) -
REFERENCES TO THE ARTR VERSION
The ARTR version of the Radicator is pre-mounted, so only the remote control plant and the electronic speed control
have to be inserted.
Before the installation please read the guidances of remote control and electronic speed control!
First the steering servo is installed. Before you screw the rudder arm on the servo, plug the remote control com- •
ponents together and switch on the remote control. Now set the steering trim to neutral position. Screw now the
rudder arm in an upright position on the servo (the exact adjustment takes place later with the trim knob). Now you
can switch the remote control off and unplug the servo from the receiver for easier installation.
Fasten the steering servo with four 3x8mm self tapping cross-screws to the servo holders 532005 and this after-
•
wards with 2 countersunk screws to the chassis. After this, the steering linkage 532000 is fastened with one 3x10mm
self tapping cross-screw to the rudder arm and to the bellcrank of the steering element (532007).
