Mini-DT Manual―Page 4

Slipper Adjustments

The Mini-DT 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-

DT 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.

Steering Rate

Your transmitter is equipped with a steering rate 

Resetting the ESC

The ESC comes preset and ready for use. If for some reason you should need to reset the ESC, use the following 
instructions:

1.  Turn on the transmitter and ESC. Press the setup button – the RED 

and GREEN LEDs will come on.

2.  Pull the throttle trigger all the way back (full speed) and press the setup 

button once – only the GREEN LED will come on.

3.  Push the trigger full forward (brake/reverse) and push the setup button 

once – only the RED LED will come on.

4.  Let the throttle trigger return to the neutral (center) position and press 

the setup button once more to save the program and exit setup 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 program mode.

B:  While in program mode, the motor will not run.

C:  If the setup button is not pressed for 20 seconds while in program mode, the ESC will exit the program mode, and 

the data will be restored to default settings.
