For additional support on wiring, soldering, and crimping, please read the following support pages:

Crimping Wires
For hooking up the charger, a separate set of leads should be run from the battery through a fuse (for 4A charger
use 5A fuse) to a 30 Amp connector set. The other side of the connector set should be crimped to the charger.
Operation
1.
Before powering on the robot make sure it is up on blocks so the wheels can spin freely. Occasionally
some or all of the wheels start as soon as the motor controller gets power. In this case the settings of the
motor controller need to be changed.
2.
Make sure to use the correct DIP switch settings. If using R/C mode switch 1 should be DOWN (closest to
the number) and all other switches should be UP. If using a different mode see the manual for the motor
controller you are using.
Binding a Spektrum Remote
3.
Insert the bind plug into the receiver and power on the robot.
4.
While pressing the Bind button, power on the transmitter.
5.
Release the Bind button after the receiver’s LED stays illuminated. This indicates the receiver is bound to
the transmitter.
6.
While the robot and transmitter are still powered on, remove the bind plug from the receiver.
7.
If the wheel aren’t moving as desired, it may be necessary to swap the Alieron and Elevator plugs or to
reverse the channels on the transmitter. To reverse channels see the instructions for “Servo Reversing” in
the Spektrum documentation.
