drIVIng precautIons
• Maintain sight of the vehicle at all times.
• Inspect the vehicle for loose wheel hardware.
• Inspect the steering assembly for any loose hardware. Driving the vehicle off-road
can cause fasteners to loosen over time.
• Do not drive the vehicle in tall grass. Doing so can damage the vehicle or electronics.
• Stop driving the vehicle when you notice a lack of power. Driving the vehicle when
the battery is discharged can cause the receiver to power off. You may lose control
of the vehicle.
cAuTION:
Do not discharge a LiPo battery below 3V per cell. Batteries
discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest approved voltage may become damaged,
resulting in loss of performance and potential fire when batteries are charged.
• Do not apply the throttle in forward or reverse if the vehicle is stuck. Applying throttle
in this instance can damage the motor or ESC.
• After driving the vehicle, allow the electronics to cool to ambient temperature before
using the next battery pack.
srs4200 staBIlIty assIst receIVer
AVc – AcTIVE VEHIcLE cONTROL
The Spektrum SRS4200 receiver features Active Vehicle Control (AVC) technology that
responds similar to traction control in full-scale vehicles. In addition to traction control, AVC
technology also increases steering stability during high speed driving or while driving over
rough terrain. As you increase the AVC sensitivity, the system increases steering stability and
traction control, similar to reducing the amount of steering rate in a computer transmitter.
Reducing the sensitivity value increases the amount of steering control from the transmitter.
The SRS4200 receiver also enables you to quickly turn AVC on or off if you participate
in organized racing.
ImPORTANT:
You must use digital servos with the SRS4200 receiver. Using analog servos
will reduce the performance of the system and may cause analog servos to overheat.
cALIBRATING THE REcEIVER
1.
Insert the Bind Plug in the BIND port on the receiver.
2.
Connect a fully charged battery pack to the ESC.
3.
Power on the ESC. The orange LED flashes, indicating the receiver is in bind mode.
4.
Center the ST TRIM and TH TRIM dials on the transmitter.
5.
Press and hold the BIND button while powering on the transmitter.
6.
Release the BIND button when the orange LED slowly flashes. The transmitter and receiver
are linked when the orange LED is solid.
7.
Pull the transmitter trigger to Full Throttle.
8.
Push the transmitter trigger to Full Brake, then return the trigger to center.
9.
Turn the transmitter steering wheel to Full Right.
10.
Turn the transmitter steering wheel to Full Left, then return the steering wheel to center.
The orange LED flashes once.
11.
Remove the Bind Plug, then power off the receiver to save the settings.
12.
Power off the transmitter.
Before runnIng your VehIcle
1.
Break in the differentials. While holding the chassis with only the left side tires firmly on
the ground, give the car about 1/8 throttle for 30 seconds. The right side tires should spin
freely during this time. Repeat this with only the right side tires firmly on the ground,
allowing the left side tires to spin freely. Repeat this 2–3 times.
2.
Check for free suspension movement. All suspension arms and steering components
should move freely. Any binds will cause the car to handle poorly.
3.
Set the ride height. Set the ride height of your truck with all components installed
so that the bottom of the chassis is 29.5mm from the ground in the front and
24.5mm in the rear by adjusting the shock collars.
4.
Set the camber. Adjusting the camber tie rod length changes the camber. Set the
front tires to have 0 degrees of camber at ride height. Set the rear tires to have
2.5 degrees of negative camber at ride height.
5.
Set the front toe-in. Adjust the steering tie rods so that when the servo is centered
on the transmitter, the front tires are both pointing straight.
6.
Charge a battery pack. Always charge the battery pack as per the battery and/or charger
manufacturers’ instructions.
7.
Adjust the electronic speed control. Follow the instructions to setup and adjust the speed
control for your TEN-RALLY X RTR .
8.
Set the transmitter steering trim. Follow the instructions to set the steering trim/subtrim
so that the vehicle drives straight with no input to the steering.
9.
Set the transmitter steering endpoints. Follow the instructions in the transmitter
instruction manual to set the endpoints so that the servo hits full steering upon
reaching full input from the transmitter.
run tIMe
The largest factor in run time is the capacity of the battery pack. A larger mAh rating
increases the amount of run time experienced.
The condition of a battery pack is also an important factor in both run time and speed.
The battery connectors may become hot during driving. Batteries will lose performance
and capacity over time.
Driving the vehicle from a stop to full speed repeatedly will damage the batteries
and electronics over time. Sudden acceleration will also lead to shorter run times.
TO ImPROVE RuN TImES
• Keep your vehicle clean and well maintained.
• Allow more airflow to the ESC and Motor.
• Change the gearing to a lower ratio. A lower ratio lowers the operating temperature of
the electronics. Use a smaller pinion gear or larger spur gear to lower the gear ratio.
• Use a battery pack with a higher mAh rating.
• Use the optimum charger to charge battery packs (Visit your local hobby dealer
for more information).
