cabling andGO4 gold connectors to wire the drive unit to the
ESCs and power pack.
• The ESCs are connected to the Rx with a Y-lead.
• Remove one red cable from one of the speed controller plugs to
Y lead cables and isolate (only one positive is needed for BEC to
function).

• Bond the ends of the rubber U section, 5.5 together with cyano-
acrylate glue.
TAKE CARE not to twist or distort the section
whilst gluing and leave to harden thoroughly.
• Apply a small amount of glue to the U section slot and starting
with the joint at the transom end, stretch it over the joint edge of
hull and deck.
Test runs and trimming
• Sit model in the stand. Set steering stick and trim to middle/ neu-
tral. Throttle stick and trim fully closed in “motor off” position.
Switch on Transmitter (Tx)
• Install drive pack, 5.6, connect to ESCs and fix in position with
hook and loop tape.
• The rudder must be in the neutral position, adjust length of rud-
der linkage to suit.
• Check right and left steering function corresponds with right and
left control from Tx. If necessary, reverse servo direction in Tx.
• Check motor running. The propeller must rotate in the direction
shown by the arrows in forward running. If they rotate in the
wrong direction, reverse polarity between ESC and motor.
• NOTE:
only run the motors on test for short periods.
• Disconnect drive battery from ESC and then you can switch Tx
off.
• WARNING:
be very careful working on the model at any time the
drive battery is connected; the motors can start unexpectedly
and cause injury.
NEVER place any body parts near the props
when the battery is connected!!
Finishing and driver figure
• Install battery, 5.6 and secure with hook and loop tape.
• The final fixing of the rear cover, 3.2 is made by the decal “Sea-

• Pilot drill the hands with a D4 drill and open up to D6 mm.
• Locate both arms on the handlebar, 4.7 ends. Place the figure on
to the seat and check arms fit in the correct position.
• When you are happy with the fit, the arms can be bonded to the
body.
• Loosen the seat unit and remove handlebars, 4.7 from below.
• The driver figure’s arm to body joints can now be filled and san-
ded; the whole figure is now ready for painting in your favourite
colours!
• The figure is attached to the seat with small pieces of hook and
loop tape, 6.4.
• Attach the remaining decals according to the box top picture.
• Before using in the water, the prop tube must be filled with
waterproof grease. To remove the shaft, loosen the rear grub
screw, 1.9 on each coupling.
• Withdraw prop and Propshaft, fill the stuffing tube with robbe
precision grease and reassemble.
Initial runs
The charging the batteries, the model is ready for initial running.
Choose a calm day with smooth water for the first runs.
Put the model in its stand.
Always switch Tx ON first then connect the drive battery in the
model.
Attach cockpit and cover and seal all round with tape to stop water
ingress.
Familiarise yourself with the steering reaction of the model at
moderate speeds.
To slow the model, close the throttle.
If you have to adjust the trim to achieve straight running, then
adjust the neutral of the rudder mechanically by adjusting the lin-
kage to the new correct neutral. This enables full trim on the Tx to
be used.
The model is very fast. Please take care when operating on river-
banks or near obstacles, e.g. buoys and make sure you throttle
back in time to avoid collisions.
NEVER use near swimmers, boats or other river users.
If the model starts to slow at full throttle, this indicates the battery
is running down, so it is time to return to the bank and recharge
before continuing.
After running, open the cover and disconnect the drive battery, then
you can turn the Tx off. Leave the motor and battery to cool and
check for condensation inside the hull.
Checks stuffing tube has enough grease and repack from time-to
time.
Have fun with your new Sea-Jet Evolution!
