     the throttle trigger operates the slide carburetor. If the servos do not

     respond, remove the batteries and make sure they are installed 

     correctly.

E.  Turn off the power switch on the car and then on the transmitter.

Although your AfterBurner comes factory-assembled, it is 

important to fi nely adjust the steering trim before operating. 

1.  Turn on the transmitter and 

     then the receiver, but do not 

     start the engine. Position the 

     steering trim knob into the 

     neutral (center) position 

     (see 

Figure 8

).

2.  On a smooth, level, paved 

     surface, roll the car forward a 

     few feet at a time. Make sure 

     it rolls straight, not veering left 

     or right. If it does not roll 

     straight, adjust the steering knob until the vehicle rolls straight on

     its own.

3.  It’s also a good idea to test the steering functions while you are checking

     the trim. Just like in a car, turning the wheel on the transmitter to the left 

makes the vehicles wheels turn left and vice versa.

4.  

Range Check:

 Turn on the transmitter and extend the antenna fully then 

switch on the model. walk about 150 feet away and make sure the ve-

hicle responds reliably to the controls.

Remember, the AfterBurner is a high-performance vehicle capable of

reaching speeds of over 60 MPH. It is capable of causing serious injury or 

damage if not operated properly. Your AfterBurner is not a toy. It is 

designed for operation by or under close supervision of a responsible adult.

Finding the Right Location

Always drive your car in a wide open area, free from trees, cars and other 

obstructions. Do not operate this vehicle on highways or in large crowds of 

people. Never operate in heavy winds, rainy weather or after dark. Do not 

operate your AfterBurner at times or in locations where the engine’s noise 

will be objectionable. Wear hearing protection if you are sensitive to engine 

noise. Never operate any Nitro- or gas-powered vehicle in dry bush, dry 

grass or dry leaves! This creates a very dangerous fi re hazard.
