6. Remove the receiver battery holder from the radio box.
Install (4) “AA” batteries (included) into the battery holder in
the configuration molded into the battery holder.
❏
7. Cut a piece of foam the size of the radio box and place
it in the bottom for all of the equipment to set on. Re-install
the receiver battery into the radio box. Note the placement
of the receiver battery in the box. Make sure that the
receiver switch is in the “off” position. Plug the connector on
the receiver battery into the socket on the receiver switch.
Wrap the receiver with the included foam rubber (if desired,
secure with a rubber band, not included) to help reduce
possible radio interference from vibration.

8. Remove the transmitter antenna from the holder and screw
it into the hole on top of the transmitter. Give the transmitter
antenna a light tug to make sure it is threaded on properly.
❏
9. Slide open the battery door on the bottom of the
transmitter. Place 8 “AA” batteries (included) into the holder
in the configuration molded into the plastic on the battery
holder. Re-install the battery door.
❏
10. Turn on the transmitter using the switch on the side
(see photo with step 8). The red light on the side of the
transmitter should light up. If there is no light on, turn the
transmitter off and check to ensure that the batteries are
making contact with the contacts on the inside of the battery
compartment. Make sure the batteries are installed correctly.
Turn the transmitter on and check for the red indicator light.
If the red light appears, turn off the transmitter. If the red light
flashes, the batteries are low and need to be replaced.

11. Fine-tuning adjustments can be made to the throttle
and steering by using the trim adjustment knobs located on
the top of the radio. The trim adjustment knobs are used to
center the steering and to adjust the idle/brake of the
Thunder Quake. The servo reversing switches are used
when the servo moves in the opposite direction desired
when input is given to the transmitter. If you pull the throttle
trigger back and the brakes are applied the throttle-
reversing switch needs to be switched.
