h) Failsafe Module
For safety reasons, the engine may not run during failsafe adjustment..
• Turn the receiver power supply and the transmitter on and check the function of the servos.
• Switch off the transmitter.
• The throttle servo moves to the position currently set on the failsafe and the LED on the failsafe lights up. Due to the missing control impulses, the steering
servo starts to vibrate; this is normal. (If desired, a second failsafe (optionally available) can also move the steering servo to a defined position, e.g. for straight
forward run).
• Adjust the rotary potentiometer on the failsafe with a suitable screwdriver in such a way that the throttle/brake servo is in the position in which the brake is
activated (max. brake power). In case of a failure of the transmitter signal, the failsafe then automatically sets the throttle to idle and activates the brake.
Always adjust the failsafe before the first drive to ensure that the gas servo stops the engine and activates the brakes in case of radio interruption.
i) Checking the Range of the Remote Control Transmitter
In order not to lose control over you model you should, before each first start or after a crash, check the function and range of the RC system. For the range test,
it is sufficient to test the function of the steering servo.
Support the model at the front axle in a way that allows the wheels to hang freely.
Due to the good traction of the wheels and the weight of the vehicle, the wheels would not follow your steering commands spontaneously and directly while the
wheels stand still on the floor. This however changes during operation.
Only perform the range test when the engine is not running!
• Completely collapse the transmitter's telescope antenna. First, switch on the transmitter and then the receiver.
• Move approx. 50 m away from the model.
• Move the steering wheel (channel 1) to the right. Now the wheels must turn to the right!
• Move the steering wheel to the left. Now the wheels must turn to the left!
• Release the lever of the remote control. The wheels must turn back into the straight drive position.
Never drive the model with a remote control that is not functioning properly!
If the remote control does not function properly, first check the charge status of the transmitter and receiver batteries and make sure that nobody uses the same
frequency as you.
If the problem persists, consult the troubleshooting table.
