BEFORE OPERATING YOUR
MODEL
Check servo operation
Confirm the model’s wheels turn right and left when
the transmitter steering wheel is turned right and
left. The front wheels should be pointing straight
ahead. If they are turned slightly, slowly adjust the
steering trim knob on the transmitter until they are
pointing straight ahead.
Range test the radio system
With a friend’s help, check servo operation at the
farthest distance you plan to drive the model and
confirm that there is no radio interference.
OPERATING YOUR MODEL
Avoid running your model in tall grass, deep sand,
or other conditions that severely limit the driving
performance of the model. This will strain the power
system and could cause early motor failure.
If the
model becomes stuck, do not apply throttle.
Free the model before continuing.
The transmitter has a directional antenna.
For maximum range, hold the transmitter upright
and pointed in the direction of the model. Pointing
the transmitter away from the model will reduce
radio range.
