Radio Operation
It is important that you familiarize yourself with the radio system, as this is your direct link to the model.
Never run your model with low receiver or transmitter batteries.
Never leave the power on or the batteries will not last long.
Always fully extend the transmitter antenna before running your model.
Always turn the transmitter ON before turning the model ON.
When finished running, always turn the model OFF before the transmitter.
For best operation, it will be necessary to keep the "trims" adjusted for both the steering and throttle as noted below.
Steering Trim
: The model should go straight without turning the steering wheel. If not, tap the trim lever found just
above the steering wheel in the direction needed for the model to go straight. Each tap of the trim button will be accom-
panied by an audible tone indicating a change has been made. It may take several taps to get the correct trim setting.
Throttle Trim
: The model should idle without the tires rotating when the trigger is at its neutral position. If not, tap the
trim tab located to the left of the steering wheel to reposition the throttle servo and close the carburetor and apply
more brakes. Note that additional braking force is applied when you push the trigger forward.
Synchronizing the Steering Servos
: If you remove the steering servos or the
servo savers you will probably have to make some small adjustments to ensure
they are working together at maxium capacity. With the servo savers removed
and the linkaged attached,
Turn on the radio and reset the steering trim to read "0" (which is neutral) on
the radio screen.
Loosen the setscrews securing the linkage slightly and mount the servo
savers so they are timed as close as possible like that seen in the photo.
Use the steering trim on the transmitter to fine-tune the timing of the servo
savers.
Make sure the front tires are pointing forward and lock the steering linkage in place by tightening the setscrews.
Maintenance
In addition to the service needs pointed out in this guide, you should try to maintain your new Mega Baja for proper
performance and to prevent wear. If dirt gets in the moving parts it can seriously hinder the performance of the model.
Use compressed air, a soft paintbrush and/or toothbrush to remove dirt and dust. Avoid using solvents, if possible, as
this can acutally wash the dirt into bearings and areas not accessible without disassembly, causing additional wear. We
suggest you follow these basic guidelines:
Remove as much freestanding dirt and dust as noted above.
Never leave fuel in the tank for more than a couple of hours.
When done running for the day or longer, let the engine run out of fuel. Remove the air cleaner and pour a little
WD40, or quality after-run engine oil into the carburetor and spin the engine over a few seconds.
If needed, clean and re-oil the air cleaner before installing it back on the model.
Inspect the chassis for worn, broken, or binding parts and repair as necessary.
Adjusting the Slipper
The slipper is a key component of the drivetrain that is designed to help absorb sudden or
large impacts that would otherwise stress various drivetrain parts. You should never run
the Mega Baja with the slipper locked (completely tight). The slipper can also be used as a
tuning aid for extremely slick conditions. To adjust the slipper, start by turning the 1/4"
adjustment nut clockwise (tighten) until it gets tight and the spring is compressed.
Do not overtighten
as you will strip the nut. Now turn the adjustment nut
counterclockwise (loosen) one full turn. This should be a good overall setting.
