RADIO SYSTEM CONTROLS
Using Reverse
: While driving, push the throttle
trigger forward to apply brakes. Once stopped,
return the throttle trigger to neutral. Push the throttle
trigger forward again to engage proportional reverse.
USING THE RADIO SYSTEM
The 2.4GHz Radio System has been adjusted at the
factory for correct operation with your model. The
adjustment should be checked before running the model,
in case of movement during shipping. Here’s how:
1. Turn the transmitter switch on. The status LED on the
transmitter should be solid green (not flashing).
2. Elevate the model on a block or a stand so that all the
tires are off the ground. Make sure your hands are clear
of the moving parts of the model.
3. Plug the battery pack connector into the speed control
connector.
4. The on/off switch is integrated into the speed control.
Press and release the EZ-Set button to turn the model
on. The LED will shine RED (see note, below). To turn
the ESC off, press and hold the EZ-Set button until the
LED turns off.
Note:
If the LED shines green, Low-
Voltage Detection is activated. This may cause poor
performance from the included NiMH battery pack. The
default factory setting is for Low-Voltage Detection to
be disabled (LED shines red). See page 15 for more
information on Low-Voltage Detection.
5. Turn the steering wheel on the transmitter back and
forth and check for rapid operation of the steering
servo. Also, check that the steering mechanism is not
loose or binding. If the steering operates slowly, check
for weak batteries.
6. When looking down at the model, the front wheels
should be pointing straight ahead. If the wheels are
turned slightly to the left or right, slowly adjust the
steering trim control on the transmitter until they are
pointing straight ahead.
7. Gently operate the throttle trigger to ensure that you
have forward and reverse operation, and that the motor
stops when the throttle trigger is at neutral.
8. Once adjustments are made, turn off the receiver on
your model, followed by the hand-held transmitter.
Range-Testing the Radio System
Before each running session with your model, you should
range-test your radio system to ensure that it operates
properly.
1. Turn on the radio system and check its operation, as
described in the previous section.
2. Have a friend hold the model. Make sure hands and
clothing are clear of the wheels and other moving parts
on the model.
3. Walk away from the model with the transmitter until
you reach the farthest distance you plan to operate the
model.
4. Operate the controls on the transmitter once again to
be sure that the model responds correctly.
5. Do not attempt to operate the model if there is
any problem with the radio system or any external
interference with your radio signal at your location.
Higher Speeds Require Greater Distance
The faster you drive your model, the more quickly it will
near the limit of radio range. At top speed, this model can
cover up to 40 feet per second! It’s a thrill, but use caution
to keep your model in range. If you want to see your
model achieve its maximum speed, it is best to position
yourself in the middle of the model’s running area, not
the far end, so you drive the model toward and past your
position. In addition to maximizing the radio’s range, this
technique will keep your model closer to you, making it
easier to see and control.
No matter how fast or far you drive your model,
always leave adequate space between you, the
model, and others. Never drive directly toward
yourself or others.
