Ensure the antenna tube is properly
placed through the hull. It may be
necessary to slightly pull the antenna
tube out to make certain the radio range
is sufficient.
Turn the transmitter on, then turn on the
receiver/ESC switch, checking for correct
operation. The rudder control arm should
move toward the front of the boat when
right input is given. Conversely, when
left input is given, the control arm should
move toward the back of the boat.
The ESC will beep until you give full
throttle input. The auto sensing circuitry
will select full throttle position when you
hold full throttle during initial set up.
Release the throttle trigger. With the
propeller free from any objects, give
some throttle input to ensure that the
motor is working. If everything appears
to be functioning correctly, you are ready
to run your boat!
Note
: The ESC has an over-
rev limiter that will not allow
you to hold full throttle when
the propeller is not loaded (in
the water). To reset, return
the throttle trigger to neutral.
The auto sensing voltage cutoff
with also cut off power to the
motor when the ESC senses that
the batteries are nearing full
discharge.
Note
: If you are transporting your
boat, make sure you disconnect
the battery from the speed
controller and then turn your radio
off until you are ready to run the
boat. Once ready, simply turn the
radio on and plug the battery into
the speed controller, again making
sure that the boat is in neutral.
