Radio Operation
It is important that you familiarize yourself with the radio
system, as this is your direct link to the model.
•
Never run your model with low receiver or transmitter
batteries.
•
Always fold the antenna to the upright position before
running your model.
•
Never leave the power on or the batteries will not last
long.
•
Always turn the transmitter ON before turning the model
ON.
•
When finished running, always turn the model OFF before
the transmitter.
•
For best operation, it will be necessary to keep the “trims”
adjusted for both the steering and throttle as noted on the
following pages.
Steering Trim
: The model should go straight without turning
the steering wheel. If not, tap the trim lever found just above
and to the right of the steering wheel in the direction needed
for the model to go straight. Each tap of the trim button will be
accompanied by an audible tone indicating a change has been
made. It may take several taps to get the correct trim setting.
Throttle Trim
: The model should idle without the tires
rotating when the trigger is at its neutral position. If not, tap the
trim lever found just above and to the left of the steering wheel
to reposition the throttle servo and close the carburetor and
apply more brakes. Note that additional braking force is applied
when you push the trigger forward.
