Warning
Electronic Speed Control
Motor Noise Suppression
Install the heat sinks where they will not come in contact with aluminum, carbon fiber or other parts that conduct
electricity.
If the FET Amp (Electronic speed control) heat sinks touch other materials that conduct electricity a short circuit could oc-
cur. This could result in loss of control and damage to the system.
Always install capacitors to suppress noise when electric motors are used.
If capacitors are not properly installed you could experience erratic operation and reduced range as well as loss of control.
Other Noise Suppression Methods
Be sure there are no metal parts in your model which under vibration can come in contact with other metal parts.
Metal to metal contacts under vibration will emit a high frequency noise that will affect the receiver's performance. You
could experience erratic operation and reduced range as well as loss of control.
Motors with no suppressor capacitors, or inade-
quate suppression, may cause the receiver to mal-
function. Always solder the capacitors supplied to
your motor.
The Schottky diode improves the efciency of the
speed control / motor combination and provides
extra protection to the brake FETs. The white ring
must always face the positive side.

Servo Throw
Operate each servo over its full stroke and be sure the linkage does not bind or come loose.
The continuous application of unreasonable force to a servo may cause damage and excessive battery drain.
Adjust the throttle servo so that unreasonable force is
not applied when the engine carburetor is fully open,
fully closed, and the brakes are applied fully.
If the brakes overheat while running, their ability to
function properly decreases. Before running, adjust the
suitable maximum servo travel so that unreasonable
force is not applied even when the servo travel is in-
creased while running.
Adjust the steering servo so that unreason-
able force is not applied to the servo by the
chassis at maximum servo travel.
Decide the EPA value at the
contact point.
Caution!
A whining noise indicates that the
steering servo is improperly set.
