The document describes two remote-controlled vehicles from BSD Racing: the 1/10 4WD Electric-Powered Brushless/Brushed Buggy (BS213T/BS213R) and the 1/10 4WD Electric-Powered Brushless/Brushed Truck (BS214T/BS214R). Both models are 1/10 scale, 4-wheel drive, and electric-powered, offering both brushed and brushless motor options.
Function Description:
These are hobby-grade remote-controlled vehicles designed for off-road use. They are controlled via a 2.4GHz radio system, allowing for steering and throttle control. The models come in two main configurations: "T" for brushed motor systems and "R" for brushless motor systems, offering different levels of performance. The manual provides detailed instructions for assembly, maintenance, and operation, including radio binding and servo adjustments.

Usage Features:
- 2.4GHz Radio System: Ensures reliable control and allows multiple users to operate vehicles in the same area without interference.
- Binding Process: A clear procedure is outlined for binding the transmitter and receiver, involving pressing the CH3 button on the transmitter and the BIND button on the receiver. The LED indicators (blue for transmitter, green for receiver) guide the user through the process.
- Servo Direction Adjustment: The transmitter allows for reversing the throttle and steering servo directions using dedicated TH R/N and ST R/N buttons, providing flexibility for different setups and user preferences.
- Auxiliary Channel (3CH): The CH3 button on the transmitter can be used to control an auxiliary function, turning a servo 90 degrees in either direction. During binding, this button serves as the bind button.
- Steering Dual Rates Adjustment (ST.D/R): A knob on the transmitter allows users to adjust the steering dual rate, fine-tuning the steering sensitivity.
- Fail-Safe Setup (S/F): This crucial safety feature automatically sets the throttle to the lowest position if the radio signal is lost or weak. For electric models, it's set by default. For gas models, a specific procedure involving holding the F/S button on the receiver is required.
- Trim Adjustments (TH.TRIM and ST.TRIM): Dedicated buttons for throttle trim (TH TRIM) and steering trim (ST TRIM) allow for fine adjustments to ensure the vehicle tracks straight and remains stationary when the throttle is neutral. After each binding, the TH TRIM needs to be manually adjusted to the lowest position.
- Battery Charging: Emphasizes the importance of checking battery charge levels before use, especially for rechargeable Ni-Cd/Ni-MH batteries, to prevent loss of control.
- Lithium Polymer Battery Precautions: A detailed section on handling Li-Po batteries covers charging current and voltage limits, temperature ranges, reverse charging prohibition, discharging limits, storage conditions (10-25℃, low humidity, 3.6-3.9V storage voltage), and general safety warnings against physical damage, short circuits, disassembly, fire, liquid exposure, and charging in a car.
Maintenance Features:
- Required Tools: The manual lists essential tools for building and maintenance, including a hobby knife, precision ruler, needle nose pliers, Lexan scissors, flat and Philips screwdrivers, wire cutters, cross wrench, hex wrench, CA glue & rubber cement, and thread locking compound.
- Screw Installation Warning: Advises against using power screwdrivers for nylon or plastic parts to prevent heat damage, stripping threads, or breaking molded parts.
- Thread Lock: Recommends using thread lock on all screws that tend to loosen during operation.
- Parts Diagrams: Extensive exploded diagrams with part numbers are provided for various units, including the Diff Gear Box, Spur Gear Unit, Steering System Unit, and Shock Unit, facilitating identification and replacement of components.
- Common Parts Lists: Detailed lists of common parts for BS213T/R and BS214T/R models, including shock units, suspension arms, drive shafts, hubs, chassis, ESC cases, motors, gears, and radio components, are included to aid in maintenance and repair.
- Specific Parts Lists: Separate lists for BS213T, BS213R, BS214T, and BS214R highlight the unique components for each version, such as different motors, ESCs, and batteries.
The manual stresses safety, particularly regarding operation in public areas, handling hot components, and proper battery management. It serves as a comprehensive guide for both initial setup and ongoing care of the BSD Racing RC vehicles.
