ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL ADJUSTMENTS
Selecting a Throttle Mode: SPORT, RACE, or TRAINING
1. Connect a fully charged battery to the model and turn on your transmitter.
2. With the model off, press and hold the EZ-Set button until the LED turns solid green, then solid
red, and then begins blinking red. It will blink once, then twice, then three times, then repeat.
One blink
= Sport Mode is the default setting. It allows full forward and reverse throttle.
Two blinks
= Race Mode allows forward with brakes only (no reverse).
Three blinks
= Training Mode limits maximum speed to 50% throttle for young
or inexperienced drivers.
3. Release the EZ-Set button after the number of blinks for the mode you wish to select.
Note:
If you missed the mode you wanted, keep the EZ-Set button pressed down and the blink
cycle will repeat.
4. The LED will blink and then turn solid red. The model is now ready to drive.
CALIBRATING THE SPEED CONTROL
The speed control is calibrated at the factory. Follow these steps if
you need to re-calibrate it.
1. Connect a fully charged battery to the model.
2. Turn on the transmitter (with the throttle at neutral).
3. Press and hold the EZ-Set button (A). The LED will first turn
green and then red. Release the EZ-Set button.
4. When the LED blinks RED ONCE, pull the throttle trigger to the
full throttle position and hold it there (B).
5. When the LED blinks RED TWICE, push the throttle trigger to
the full reverse position and hold it there (C).
6. When the LED blinks GREEN ONCE, programming is complete.
The LED will then shine red.
RUNNING IN WET CONDITIONS
Your model is designed with features to protect the electronics in the model (receiver, servo, electronic
speed control). Although highly water resistant, the model should not be treated as if it is submersible
or totally, 100% waterproof. Water resistance applies only to the installed electronic components; the
transmitter is not water-resistant. Running in wet conditions requires additional care and maintenance
to prevent corrosion and maintain proper function. Download the complete owner’s manual for full
precautions and maintenance requirements. Read and understand all precautions before operating your
model in wet conditions. The complete owner’s manual for your model can be viewed and downloaded
by following the link on the cover of this manual or by scanning the QR code. Please read this entire
manual for complete instructions on maintaining your model.
MOTORS AND GEARING
The gear combination that comes stock on each model provides good overall acceleration and top
speed. If you want 25+mph top speeds, install the optional high-speed gearing (parts #7591 and 7592,
sold separately). The optional high-speed gearing is only intended for high-speed running on hard
surfaces, and is not recommended for off-road or repetitive starting and stopping or the motor will be
damaged. Every 10-15 runs, remove and clean the motor by wiping away accumulated dirt and debris
from around the motor shaft bushing on the pinion gear side of the motor. After cleaning, lubricate the
bushings at each end of the motor with a drop of light-weight electric motor oil.
