Slipper Adjustments
The Mini-Baja is equipped with a slipper device
offering both traction control and protection for
the transmission. The slipper is primarily used
to help absorb sudden impacts on the drive train
due to landing big jumps or when using more
powerful aftermarket motors and/or battery packs.
Additionally, it can be used to smooth out the flow of
power to the rear wheels and limit wheel spin when
running on extremely slick surfaces. Adjustment is
made by turning the 3mm adjustment nut clockwise
(to the right) to reduce the slip, or counterclockwise
(to the left) to increase the slip. When adjusted
properly, you should be able to hold the rear tires
firmly and barely be able to push the spur gear
forward with your thumb. To track test, turn the Mini-
Baja on and place it on the ground. As you push it
backwards allowing it to roll freely, punch the throttle.
The slipper should slip no more than an inch or two
as it accelerates. With the included motor and battery
pack it should slip just a little. Make sure you replace
the gear cover before running.
Resetting the ESC
The ESC comes from the factory pre-set and ready for use. If for some reason you should need to re-set the ESC, use
the following instructions.
1. Turn on the transmitter and ESC. Press the set-up button — both the RED and GREEN LEDs will come on.
2. Pull the throttle trigger all the way back (full speed) and press the set-up button once — only the GREEN LED will
come on.
. Push the throttle trigger full forward (brake/reverse) and push the set-up button once — only the RED LED will
come on.
4. Let the throttle trigger return to the neutral (center) position and press the set-up button once more to save the
program and exit set-up mode — only the GREEN LED will be on.
Notes
:
A: If the receiver does not receive a signal from the Transmitter, the ESC will not enter the Program mode.
B: While in Program mode, the motor will not run.
C: If the set-up button is not pressed for 20 seconds while in the Program mode, the ESC will exit the Program mode
and the data will be saved.
