• Examine your vehicle on a regular basis.
• Use a brush to remove dirt and dust.
• Look for damage to the suspension arms around
other molded parts.
• Re-glue the tires to the wheels, if necessary.
• Use suitable tools to check and tighten fasteners.
• Make sure the camber and steering linkages are not bent.
Replace any bent linkages.
• Adjust the Toe and Camber settings, if necessary.
• Remove the shocks and inspect them for damage.
Rebuild the shocks on a regular basis or if oil is leaking.
• Inspect the electronics and batteries for exposed wires.
Repair exposed wires with shrink-wrap, or replace the wire.
• Make sure the ESC is secure on the chassis.
Replace the double-sided tape, if necessary.
• Power on the transmitter. If the green LED is flashing,
replace the AA batteries in your transmitter.
• Check the pinion and spur gear for wear.
cleaning
Performance can be hindered if dirt gets in any of the moving
suspension parts. Use compressed air, a soft paintbrush, or a
toothbrush to remove dust or dirt. Avoid using solvents or chemicals
as they can actually wash dirt into the bearings or moving parts, as
well as cause damage to the electronics.
BIndIng
Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the
GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter.
The DX2E and SR200 are bound at the factory.
If you need to rebind, follow the instructions below.
1. With the receiver off, insert the bind plug into the BIND port
on the receiver.
2. When a battery is connected to the ESC and the ESC is connected
to the throttle port on the receiver, power on the ESC switch. An
LED on the receiver will flash rapidly, showing the receiver is in
Bind mode.
3. Do not touch the throttle or steering controls, as this sets the
failsafe settings. The throttle and throttle trim should always be
at the lowest setting during bind mode. Press and hold the bind
button and power on the transmitter. The green LED on the front
of the transmitter will flash within three seconds, indicating the
transmitter is in bind mode.
4. Release the bind button when the green LED flashes.

5. The receiver's LED will turn solid when the transmitter
and receiver are bound.
6. Remove the bind plug and store it in a convenient place.
you must rebind when:
• Different failsafe positions are desired e.g., when throttle
or steering reversing has been changed.
• Changing receiver types e.g., changing from a DSM
®
receiver
to a DSM2
®
or Marine receiver.
• Binding the receiver to a different transmitter.
Some Spektrum receivers, like the SR3001, use a bind button rather
than a bind plug. The binding process is the same with this receiver,
however, instead of inserting the plug before powering up the receiver,
press and hold the bind button while powering up the receiver to enter
bind mode.
failsafe
In the unlikely event that the radio link is lost during use, the receiver
will drive the servos to their preprogrammed failsafe positions (nor-
mally neutral/idle throttle position 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. Failsafe servo positions are set during binding (see BINDING).
shock cleanIng
Oil-filled shocks will require regular maintenance due to the oil
breaking down or getting dirty. This maintenance should be performed
after about every 3 to 5 hours of use, depending on the conditions that
the vehicle is used in.
• Remove the shock from the vehicle.
• Remove the cap from the shock body and dispose of fluid.
• Disassemble the shock. Clean thoroughly with DYN5505.
Dry parts before assembly.
• Re-assemble the shock and refill the shock body with silicone
fluid (40 weight recommended for front shocks, 30 weight
recommended for rear shocks).
• Slowly move the shaft and piston up and down to remove
air bubbles.
• Move the piston to the midway point of the body and
install the cap.
• Wipe off any overflowing fluid.
• When properly filled, the piston should rebound about
3/8 in (9.5mm) after being pushed in fully.
• Re-install the shock on the vehicle.
ride height adjustment
In order to check for proper standard baseline ride height, drop the
vehicle from about 6 in above a level work area. After the vehicle
settles, both the front and rear suspension arms should be parallel
with the surface. The ride height is adjusted by adding or removing
the included spring pre-load clips.
Lowering the front ride height increases steering, but decreases
traction. Lowering the rear ride height increases traction, but
decreases steering.
