j) Steering the vehicle
• Now place the ready-to-drive vehicle on the ground. Do not touch the drive when doing so and do not hold the
vehicle by the wheels.
• The dual rate setting for the driving function is controlled via the "TH D/R" control dial (10). Put simply, you can use
this control dial to set the maximum speed of the vehicle (when the throttle/brake lever on the transmitter is fully
pressed down).
Turn to the right, in clockwise direction (towards "MAX") = faster
Turn to the left, in anti-clockwise direction (towards "MIN") = slower
If the control dial is turned all the way to the left (towards "MIN") the vehicle does not move forwards or
backwards.
• The "ST D/R" control dial (8) is used for the dual rate setting for the steering function. Using this function, you can
set the maximum steering angle when the steering wheel (1) is fully turned.
Turn to the right, in clockwise direction (towards "MAX") = larger steering angle on full turn of the steering wheel
Turn to the left, in anti-clockwise direction (towards "MIN") = smaller steering angle on full turn of the steering wheel
If the control dial is turned all the way to the left (towards "MIN"), the steering can no longer work.
• If the vehicle shows a tendency to pull towards the left or the right while it is being driven even though the steer-
ing wheel is in the centre position, adjust the steering trim accordingly using the control dial "ST TRIM" (9) on the
transmitter.
• If the vehicle does not come to a standstill when you release throttle/brake lever (2) for forwards/reverse driving
(centre/neutral position), adjust the trim for the drive function accordingly using the control dial "TH TRIM" (11) on
the transmitter.
• When switching between forward and reverse driving, the throttle/brake lever must be briefly in the neutral position
(approx. 1 second) (neutral position = throttle/brake lever loose, do not move it). If the throttle/brake lever is moved
straight from forward to reverse without a pause, the drive mechanism's brake function is activated (vehicle will
not reverse).
Operate the control lever for the drive function very carefully and do not drive too fast until you get used
to the responses of the vehicle. Do not make quick jerky movements on the operating elements of the
transmitter.
Stop driving straight away when you notice unusual responses of the vehicle to the control commands on
the transmitter or when the vehicle no longer responds. If this occurs, the vehicle/transmitter batteries may
be nearly empty, or the vehicle may be too far from the transmitter.
Disturbances on the radio channel used (e.g. other models, radio transmissions from other devices, Blue-
tooth
®
, WLAN) or adverse transmission/reception conditions could also be a cause for unusual vehicle
responses.
The receiver is powered by the drive battery, therefore the vehicle may not move correctly when the drive
battery is nearly empty (e.g. the steering servo may not work properly).
If the drive battery is empty, wait 5 minutes until the motor and electronic system have cooled sufficiently.
You can then use the vehicle again with a fully charged battery.
