Shockwave 26
Checking the Radio System
CAuTION:
Always keep all body parts, hair
and dangling or loose items away from a spinning
propeller, as these could become entangled.
NOTICE:
Always power on the transmitter before
powering on the ESC. Always power off the ESC
before powering off the transmitter. Never transport
the boat with the battery connected to the ESC.
1. Turn the transmitter throttle and steering trim knobs
to the 10 o’clock position.
2. Power on the transmitter.
3. Connect a fully charged battery to the ESC.
4. Power on the ESC switch. The ESC will beep 5 times.
5. Ensure the rudder moves in the proper direction when
the steering wheel is moved left or right.
6. Pull the throttle to full, then return the throttle to
neutral, ensuring the propeller turns counterclockwise.
Brushless boats have an over-rev limit that will not allow
you to hold full throttle when the propeller is not loaded
(out of the water).
If the over-rev limiter becomes engaged, re-arm
the ESC by returning the throttle trigger to neutral.
The auto-sensing voltage cutoff will also engage when
the ESC detects a low battery charge. Release the
throttle and recharge the battery when necessary.

You must rebind when:
• Different failsafe positions are desired e.g., when
throttle or steering reversing has been changed.
• Changing receiver types e.g., changing from a DSM
®
receiver to a DSM2
®
or Marine receiver.
• Binding the receiver to a different transmitter.
failsafe
In the unlikely event that the radio link is lost during use,
the receiver will drive the servos to their preprogrammed
failsafe positions (normally no throttle and straight
steering). If the receiver is powered on before powering
on the transmitter, the receiver will enter failsafe mode,
driving the servos to their preset failsafe positions. When
the transmitter is powered on, normal control is resumed.
Failsafe servo positions are set during binding.

4. Test the transmitter’s control
of the boat with the boat on
the display stand.
5. After launching the boat in the water, start driving
slowly. If the boat does not go straight, adjust the
steering trim dial on the transmitter.
