DRIVING PRECAUTIONS
• Maintain sight of the vehicle at all times.
• Routinely inspect the vehicle for loose wheel hardware.
• Routinely inspect the steering assembly for any loose hardware. Driving
the vehicle off-road can cause fasteners to loosen over time.
• Do not drive the vehicle in tall grass. Doing so can damage the vehicle or
electronics.
• Stop driving the vehicle when you notice a lack of power. Driving the vehicle
when the battery is discharged can cause the receiver to power off. If the
receiver loses power, you will lose control of the vehicle. Damage due to an
over-discharged Li-Po battery is not covered under warranty.
CAUTION:
Do not discharge a Li-Po battery below 3V per cell.
Batteries discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest approved
voltage may become damaged, resulting in loss of performance and
potential fire when batteries are charged.
• Do not apply forward or reverse throttle if the vehicle is stuck.
Applying throttle in this instance can damage the motor or ESC.
• After driving the vehicle, allow the electronics to cool before driving the
vehicle again.
IMPORTANT:
Keep wires away from all moving parts.
POWERING ON THE VEHICLE
1. Center the ST TRIM and TH TRIM dials on the transmitter.
2. Power on the transmitter.
3. Install a fully charged battery pack per the Installing the Battery section.
4. Power on the ESC.
IMPORTANT:
The vehicle MUST remain on a flat, level surface and
motionless for at least 5 seconds.
BEFORE RUNNING YOUR VEHICLE
1. Check for free suspension movement. All suspension arms and steering
components should move freely. Any binds will cause the vehicle to
handle poorly.
TIP:
To increase the ride height and ground clearance of your vehicle,
screw down the shock collars to compress the springs.
2. Charge a battery pack. Always charge the battery pack as per the
battery and/or charger manufacturers’ instructions.
3. Set the transmitter steering trim. Follow the instructions to set the
steering trim/subtrim so that the vehicle drives straight with no input to
the steering.
4. Perform a Control Direction Test.
AVC SENSITIVITY
The ST RATE dial adjusts the sensitivity, or stability, value in the receiver. If
you increase the sensitivity, the AVC
®
system becomes more sensitive to
the vehicle drifting left or right. You would use maximum sensitivity during
high speed driving or drag racing, when you want the
vehicle to stay in a straight line.
Turn the ST RATE knob counter-clockwise to reduce
the sensitivity.
Turn the ST RATE knob clockwise to increase the
sensitivity.
IMPORTANT:
The ST RATE knob will only adjust the sensitivity when the
transmitter is bound to a DSMR
®
receiver. When the transmitter is bound
to a DSM
®
, DSM2
®
or DSM Marine receiver, the ST RATE knob controls
the steering dual rate.
RUN TIME
The largest factor in run time is the capacity of the battery pack. A larger
mAh rating increases the amount of run time experienced.
The condition of a battery pack is also an important factor in both run time
and speed.
The battery connectors may become hot during driving. Batteries will lose
performance and capacity over time.
Driving the vehicle from a stop to full speed repeatedly will damage the
batteries and electronics over time. Sudden acceleration will also lead to
shorter run times.
TO IMPROVE RUN TIMES
• Keep your vehicle clean and well maintained.
• Allow more airflow to the ESC and motor.
• Change the gearing to a lower ratio. A lower ratio decreases the operating
temperature of the electronics. Use a smaller pinion gear or larger spur
gear to lower the gear ratio.
• Use a battery pack with a higher mAh rating.
• Use the optimum charger to charge battery packs (Visit your local hobby
dealer for more information).
PERFORMING A CONTROL DIRECTION TEST
Perform a control test with the vehicle wheels off the ground. If the wheels
rotate after the vehicle is powered ON, adjust the TH Trim knob until they
stop. To make the wheels move forward, pull the trigger. To reverse them,
wait for the wheels to stop, then push the trigger. When moving forward, the
wheels should maintain a straight line without any steering wheel input. If
not, adjust the ST Trim knob, so the wheels maintain a straight line without
having to turn the steering wheel.
