Now that you are done with the final assembly of your X-Cellerator Racer, it's time to prepare your X-Cellerator Racer for its first run.
Step 1: Final Assembly
SECTION 4: PREPARING TO RUN YOUR X-CELLERATOR RACER
To prevent any chance of a runaway vehicle, your radio system should be range checked before the first run of the day and/or after a
crash. Your radio control systems instructions may have similar procedures. To range check your radio system, do the following:
❑
With the transmitter and receiver turned on, extend the transmitter antenna completely.
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
IMPORTANT
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
Remember to always turn on the transmitter first, then turn on the receiver.
❑
With the X-Cellerator Racer on the ground (without the engine running) walk away from it about 150 feet. Move the steering wheel
while looking at the vehicle's wheels. The wheels should pivot back and forth as you rotate the steering wheel back and forth.
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
WARNING
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
Never attempt to operate your X-Cellerator Racer if your radio control system is not functioning properly. Doing so
could be harmful to others around you and/or to you or your truck.
Step 1: Range Checking Your Radio System
❑
With the transmitter and the receiver turned on, rotate your
transmitter's wheel forward (to the right). The front wheels on the
X-Cellerator Racer should turn right.
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
IMPORTANT
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
If the wheels don't turn right, flip the steering servo
reversing switch on your transmitter to change the direction.
❑
Rotate your transmitter's wheel backward (to the left). The front
wheels on the X-Cellerator Racer should turn left. Let go of the
wheel. The X-Cellerator Racer's wheels should return to center.
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
IMPORTANT
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
If the wheels do not point straight ahead (center)
after you return the steering wheel to center, move the steering trim
lever on your transmitter to adjust the wheels so that they point
straight ahead.
Step 2: Double-Check the Steering and Throttle/Brake Controls
❑
Carefully pull the air filter assembly off of your engine's carburetor.
❑
Pull back on your transmitter's throttle trigger. The carburetor barrel
should open completely and the brake should be disengaged.
❑
Let go of your transmitter's trigger and the carburetor barrel should
return to its idle position - open about 1/16". The brake should still be
disengaged.
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
IMPORTANT
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
If the carburetor barrel does not open when you
pull back on the trigger, flip the throttle servo reversing switch on
your transmitter to change the direction.
If the carburetor barrel does not open completely, move the throttle
trim lever on your transmitter until the barrel is opened completely
when you pull back completely on the trigger.
