Basic Controls
1. Forward Throttle Trigger
Your Steerix STRX-9 can be driven forward by
pulling the throttle trigger. Release the trigger
to stop the boat.
2. Left/Right Steering Wheel
The steering wheel controls the Steerix
STRX-9’s left and right movement. Turn the
wheel to the left to steer to the left. Turn the
wheel right to steer the boat right. Release the
wheel to go straight.
RACING TIP: The Steerix STRX-9 is an oval racer
designed for clockwise racing and will be less responsive to steering inputs at high
speed, particularly left turns. Decrease your speed to allow tighter turning.
Turn Fins
The Steerix STRX-9 features adjustable turn fins
to aid in turning. These can be adjusted using
the included Allen Wrench. The optimum angle
of the adjustment is 45 degrees to the hull.
Driving Your STRX-9
1. Switch “ON” the transmitter. Check that the transmitter’s red LED light glows brightly.
2. Check that the model’s turn fins are adjusted correctly.
3. Switch “ON” the model. (Connect the 6V NiMH battery pack.)
4. Check that the propeller and the rudder respond to the transmitter inputs before
placing the boat in the water.
After Use:
1. When you have finished using the boat, first switch “OFF” the model by disconnecting
the battery pack. Then switch “OFF” the transmitter.
2. Remove all batteries from the transmitter and model.
3. Leave the boat’s upper deck off to allow moisture to evaporate. Place the model in a
safe, dry place until it is dry and then store it away.
NOTE: If the boat begins to bob when running, it may have taken on an excessive amount
of water. In this case, you should immediately return to shore, remove the upper
deck and drain the water from the hull.
