9. Operation
a) Removing the body
Remove the four safety clips on the upper side of the vehicle and lift the body off upwards.
b) Configuring the controller/receiver unit
Switch the controller/receiver unit off using the sliding switch (C) (switch position "OFF" = off). The controller/receiver
unit has two jumpers (A and B), with which the drive function and the battery type can be configured.
Check the manufacturer's default settings. Normally no change is required.
• "F/R/B F/R" (A) jumper: This is used to switch the brake
function on or off.
"F/R/B": Brake function is switched on (default setting)
"F/R": Brake function is switched off
• "LiPo/NIMH" (B) jumper: Set here what type of re-
chargeable drive battery is connected to the speed
controller.
"LiPo": LiPo or Li-ion drive battery is being used (default
setting)
"NIMH": NiMH drive battery is being used
Important!
If you are using a Li-ion drive battery for the vehicle (included) and set the rechargeable battery type to
"NiMH", the battery deep discharges and is destroyed.
Therefore, before you drive the vehicle, always make sure to set the correct rechargeable battery type.
When "LiPo" is set, the controller/receiver unit switches the motor off if the battery voltage falls below
6.0 V. This protects the Li-ion drive battery against a damaging deep discharge.
c) Inserting batteries into the transmitter
• Switch the transmitter off using the on/off switch (3). To do this, move the sliding switch backwards away from the
steering wheel.
• Slide the battery compartment cover (4) on the bottom of the transmitter out and insert four AA/Mignon batteries
into the battery compartment, ensuring that they have the correct polarity (plus/+ and minus/-, see labelling in the
battery compartment and on the batteries).
Using rechargeable batteries in the transmitter results in a shorter battery life due to the lower voltage
(disposable batteries = 1.5 V, rechargeable batteries = 1.2 V). If you still wish to use rechargeable batteries,
we recommend using NiMH batteries with lower self-discharge. For safety reasons, however, you should
use disposable batteries and not rechargeable batteries.
• Replace the battery compartment cover.
