SUBURBAN ASCENDER

, RTR • INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID
(Globally Unique Identiﬁ er) code of a single speciﬁ c transmitter. When a
receiver is bound to a transmitter, the receiver will only respond to that
speciﬁ c transmitter. Follow the binding instructions for your transmitter.

The included transmitter and receiver are bound at the factory.

If you

need to rebind, follow the instructions below.

1. Power OFF the receiver and transmitter.

2. Connect a fully charged battery to the ESC.

3. Insert the bind plug into the receiver’s binding pins and power ON the

ESC. The receiver LED ﬂ ashes.

4. Power ON the transmitter.

5. The receiver LED turns solid when binding in successful.

YOU MUST REBIND WHEN:

• Diff erent failsafe positions are desired e.g., when throttle or steering
reversing has been changed.
• Binding the receiver to a diff erent transmitter.

NOTICE:

Do not attempt to bind the transmitter and receiver if there are

other compatible transmitters in bind mode within 400 feet. Doing so
may result in unexpected binding.

FAILSAFE

Failsafe positions are also set
during binding. In the unlikely
event that the radio link is
lost during use, the receiver
will drive the servos to their
preprogrammed failsafe
positions (normally throttle
stop and straight steering). If
the receiver is turned on prior
to turning on the transmitter,
the receiver will enter failsafe
mode. When the transmitter
is turned on, normal control is
resumed.

RUN TIME

The largest factor in run time is the capacity of the battery pack. A larger
mAh rating increases the amount of run time experienced.

The condition of a battery pack is also an important factor in both run
time and speed. The battery connectors may become hot during driving.
Batteries will lose performance and capacity over time.

Driving the vehicle from a stop to full speed repeatedly will damage the
batteries and electronics over time. Sudden acceleration will also lead to
shorter run times.

TO IMPROVE RUN TIMES

Keep your vehicle clean and well maintained.

Allow more airﬂ ow to the ESC and motor.

Change the gearing to a lower ratio. A lower ratio decreases the
operating temperature of the electronics. Use a smaller pinion gear or
larger spur gear to lower the gear ratio.

Use a battery pack with a higher mAh rating.

Use the optimum charger to charge battery packs (Visit your local
hobby dealer for more information)

DRIVING PRECAUTIONS

Maintain sight of the vehicle at all times.

Routinely inspect the vehicle for loose wheel hardware.

Routinely inspect the steering assembly for any loose hardware.
Driving the vehicle off -road can cause fasteners to loosen over time.

Do not drive the vehicle in tall grass. Doing so can damage the vehicle
or electronics.

Stop driving the vehicle when you notice a lack of power. Driving
the vehicle when the battery is discharged can cause the receiver
to power off . If the receiver loses power, you will lose control of the
vehicle. Damage due to an over-discharged Li-Po battery is not
covered under warranty.

CAUTION:

Do not discharge a Li-Po battery below 3V per cell.

Batteries discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest approved

voltage may become damaged, resulting in loss of performance and
potential ﬁ re when batteries are charged.

Do not apply forward or reverse throttle if the vehicle is stuck.
Applying throttle in this instance can damage the motor or ESC.

After driving the vehicle, allow the electronics to cool before driving the
vehicle again.

IMPORTANT:

Keep wires away from all moving parts.

POWERING ON THE VEHICLE

1. Center the ST TRIM and TH TRIM dials on the transmitter.

2. Power on the transmitter.

3. Remove the body from the vehicle.
