f) Switching on the Speed Controller
Switch on the speed controller by moving the slider (see figure in chapter 9. e) towards the setup button („ON“). Then
wait for a few seconds (leave the throttle/brake lever on the transmitter in the neutral position; do not move it).
If the vehicle drive starts although the throttle/brake on the transmitter is in the neutral position, then adjust
the trim on the transmitter until the motor stops.
If the trimming path is insufficient, the neutral position must be programmed, see chapter 10. a).
Now check the drive and steering functions of the vehicle.
For programming the speed controller, please observe chapter 10. b)
Important!
If a LiPo battery is used as a drive battery, check the basic settings of the speed controller for whether
undervoltage protection is activated (usually 3.0 V/cell). With the undervoltage recognition deactivated, the
LiPo battery will suffer deep discharge and be destroyed.
If an NiMH-drive battery is used, deactivate the undervoltage recognition.
The LED at the speed controller goes out in the neutral position or is lit in red when driving forward and backwards.
The LED lights up green when driving forwards and at full throttle.
g) Attaching and Fastening the Car Body
Push the aerial tube from the bottom of the body through the respective opening. Now put the car body on the holders
and fasten it with the car body clips removed at the start.
If the rear spoiler is enclosed separately, it can also be attached to the vehicle with 2 clips.
h) Controlling the Vehicle
Operate the throttle/braking lever for the drive function at the transmitter very cautiously and do not drive too fast at
the beginning until you get used to the car‘s reactions. Do not make any quick and jerky movements with the operating
elements of the remote control.
Never point the transmitter aerial directly onto the vehicle. It will strongly decrease the range. The maximum range will
be achieved when the aerial of the transmitter and vehicle are both vertical and in parallel to each other.
If the vehicle tends to pull towards the left or the right, set the steering trim on the transmitter accordingly.
When switching between forward and reverse gears, the throttle/brake lever must be put in the neutral position briefly
(neutral position = let go of lever, do not move it). If the throttle/brake lever is moved from forward to reverse directly,
the brake function of the drive is activated (vehicle will NOT reverse).
Wait for at least 5 - 10 minutes until motor and speed controller have cooled down sufficiently before the next run. Only
then start a new drive with a full drive battery.
