Tips for Beginners:
1. Place your car on a block or stand so that all 4 wheels are elevated and free to move. Remove the body.
2. Turn the transmitter ON.
3. Connect your battery pack and turn the ESC (electronic speed control) then turn on the power switch.
4. Turn the steering wheel on the transmitter. If the vehicle does not respond, check your battery connection, ESC
plug, and servo plug are all installed correctly. If both systems are powered on, then refer to your transmitter
manual for help on setting up your radio systems.
5. If the steering is working, check that the wheels turn left when you turn the transmitter wheel to the left. If not, then
you must check the servo reversing switches (see transmitter manual).
6. Adjust the steering trim setting on the transmitter until the steering rack (page 7) is centered in the car.
Then, adjust the steering turnbuckles (page 19) so that both front wheels point straight forward. Use the steering
trim to fine-tune the centering adjustment once you finish the checklist and start driving your car.
7. Now connect the motor to the ESC (refer to ESC instructions for proper installation).
8. Set the ESC according to the manufacturer’s instructions. WARNING: Some ESC’s have the motor dis-connected
during setup and some do not. You risk damaging your brushless system if you do not follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.
9. Check that your ESC settings are working by lightly applying the throttle and brake.
10. Re-install the body. You are now ready to drive !
11. REMEMBER that the transmitter is the first to be turned on and the last to be turned off.
Always operate your R/C vehicle in a safe area clear of any vehicles, pedestrians, or animals.
