Rage Aqua Dart, Instruction Manual

Page: 3 / 14

If you’re an experienced RC driver or pilot, this list will give you all the information you
need to get started driving you’re new boat as quickly as possible. If this is your first RC
vehicle, it is strongly recommended that you read the ENTIRE manual before you at-
tempt to operate your new boat.
Before Boating
1. Turn on your transmitter.
2. Install your fully charged batteries in both the boat and transmitter. Make sure
you use the Velcro on your battery to securely attach it to the Velcro at the
bottom of the boat’s hull.
3. Connect the battery plug to the ESC plug inside the boat.
4. Make sure the boat is bound to the transmitter. If not, bind the boat to the
transmitter using the binding instructions in the included transmitter manual.
5. To arm the motor, push the trigger away from you slightly. If the motor has been
armed, the motor should run when you pull on the trigger.
6. Make sure all controls – rudder and throttle – move freely and are turning in the
correct direction. If not, refer to the included transmitter manual for directions.
7. Make sure the motor mount is secured to the hull so that the motor does not
move during operation.
8. Adjust the steering rate on your transmitter, as desired.
9. Find a safe and open boating area.
10. Plan a safe boating route for the water and wind conditions.
After Boating
1. Always unplug the battery from the ESC before turning off your transmitter to
make sure the boat cannot be controlled by another device.
2. Remove the battery pack from the boat.
3. Make sure the outside of the boat and inside of the hull are completely dried
out before storing your boat. Keep the hatch off the boat during storage to en
sure that mold and mildew are not allowed to grow and damage the
components.
4. Repair and damage or wear to the boat before running it again.
5. Make sure to lubricate the flex shaft after 2 to 3 hours of running time.
6. Make note of lessons learned from each operation of the boat – including
trimming needed, and water and wind conditions.
Have fun boating!
