RADIO SYSTEM CONTROLS

Using Reverse

: While driving, push the throttle 

trigger forward to apply brakes. Once stopped, 

return the throttle trigger to neutral. Push the throttle 
trigger forward again to engage proportional reverse. 

USING THE RADIO SYSTEM

The 2.4GHz Radio System has been adjusted at the 
factory for correct operation with your model. The 
adjustment should be checked before running the model, 
in case of movement during shipping. Here’s how:
1. Turn the transmitter switch on. The status LED on the 

transmitter should be solid green (not flashing).

2. Elevate the model on a block or a stand so that all the 

tires are off the ground. Make sure your hands are clear 
of the moving parts of the model.

3. Plug the battery pack connector into the speed control 

connector. 

4. The on/off switch is integrated into the speed control. 

Press and release the EZ-Set button to turn the model 
on. The LED will shine RED (see note, below). To turn 
the ESC off, press and hold the EZ-Set button until the 
LED turns off. 

Note: 

If the LED shines green, Low-

Voltage Detection is activated. This may cause poor 
performance from the included NiMH battery pack. The 
default factory setting is for Low-Voltage Detection to 
be disabled (LED shines red). See page 15 for more 
information on Low-Voltage Detection.

5. Turn the steering wheel on the transmitter back and 

forth and check for rapid operation of the steering 

servo. Also, check that the steering mechanism is not 
loose or binding. If the steering operates slowly, check 
for weak batteries.

6. When looking down at the model, the front wheels 

should be pointing straight ahead. If the wheels are 
turned slightly to the left or right, slowly adjust the 
steering trim control on the transmitter until they are 
pointing straight ahead. 

7. Gently operate the throttle trigger to ensure that you 

have forward and reverse operation, and that the motor 
stops when the throttle trigger is at neutral. 

8. Once adjustments are made, turn off the receiver on 

your model, followed by the hand-held transmitter.

Range-Testing the Radio System

Before each running session with your model, you should 
range-test your radio system to ensure that it operates 
properly.
1.  Turn on the radio system and check its operation, as 

described in the previous section.

2.  Have a friend hold the model. Make sure hands and 

clothing are clear of the wheels and other moving parts 
on the model.

3.  Walk away from the model with the transmitter until 

you reach the farthest distance you plan to operate the 
model.

4.  Operate the controls on the transmitter once again to 

be sure that the model responds correctly. 

5.  Do not attempt to operate the model if there is 

any problem with the radio system or any external 
interference with your radio signal at your location.

Higher Speeds Require Greater Distance

The faster you drive your model, the more quickly it will 
near the limit of radio range. At top speed, this model can 
cover up to 30 feet per second! It’s a thrill, but use caution 
to keep your model in range. If you want to see your 
model achieve its maximum speed, it is best to position 
yourself in the middle of the model’s running area, not 
the far end, so you drive the model toward and past your 
position. In addition to maximizing the radio’s range, this 
technique will keep your model closer to you, making it 
easier to see and control. 

No matter how fast or far you drive your model, 
always leave adequate space between you, the 
model, and others. Never drive directly toward 
yourself or others.
