GB - Getting Started
Make sure that all parts from the box content are included. Trans-
mitter, Car, Charger, battery pack.
The battery pack has to be
charged before use. Plug
the charger into a 230V
outlet. Connect the charger
to the battery. If the plug of
the charger and battery do
notmatch,thenyouwillnd
a connection lead in your
box. The average charging
time of the empty battery is
about 4 - 5 hours.
Place 8 pieces of AA batteries into
the transmitter. If rechargebale, ple-
ase also make sure these are fully
charged.
Read the chapter for usage of the
transmitter and its controls carefully.
Turn the radio off and make sure all the
trim buttons on the transmitter are in
neutral position.
You have purchased a RTR model,
which means it should be ready for im-
mediate use after charging all batteries.
You need to check the car, electronics
and all plastic parts after each use to
make sure no parts are da-
maged. Also all the moving
parts must be checked for
their clearance, bolts and
screws that they are tight.
Now put the battery into
the battery holder in the
vehicle. Make sure that the
battery holder is secured
properly with the 2 included
clips for the battery holder. Now connect the battery to the speed
control in the model.
Keep the car in the air in case that the motor turns at full power.
SwitchthespeedcontrolontheOn/Offswitch.Setthemodelon
the ground and test it for proper functioning. Steering right/ left,
throttle/ brake, forward and backward. If the wheels do not point
straight forward even though the steering wheel on the trans-
mitterisinneutral,youcanadjustitwiththetrimbuttononthe
transmitter.
Trim L/R = steering
Should the wheels rotate forward or backward, even though no
command was given through the transmitter, then also the thrott-
le needs to be trimmed on the transmitter.
TrimV/R=forward/backward
We encourage you now to activate your receiver‘s built-in Failsa-
fe unit. On delivery it is turned off.
Leave the throttle lever in neutral position (see chapter Fail
Safe).Pressthefail-safebuttononthe receiveruntil itashes
and let go to activate.
Check this principle in an electric vehicle only in the neutral
position of the throttle, because otherwise the model goes
into the previously programmed throttle position in a loss of
the transmitter signal.
Nowyoucanmakethersttestdrive.Ifthisisyourrstrccar,we
recommend to drive it on a small test track to familiarise yourself
with the control of the vehicle and the controls of the transmitter.
Attention!
Your vehicle has a pivot front suspension. This has a number of
advantages. It is very robust and easy to maintain. The set-up of
the car has been done so the drive shaft will not pop out. As with
any model, screws and bolts can losen during break-in of the car.
This can result in tolerance of the drive shaft. The drive shaft can
then pop out if high pressure is applied.
Theinnerballscrew(itemNo.:505081)willenableyoutoadjust
thetoleranceresultinginneadjustmentsofthetrackwidth.For
bestresultswhensettingupthepivotballforthersttime,please
alwaysadjusttheupperandlowerpivotinthesameway.Fasten
as far as the pivot can still be pulled up and down easyly but not
as far that it will pop out if you give full steering angle. The outer
plasticsocketscrew(itemNo.:505080)isonlyusedforsecuring
of the steering knuckle. This should not be too tight, otherwise
the steering is not smooth and the handling can be adversely
affected.
Important!
By using LiPo batteries take care that the undervoltage shutdown
isactivated,seeESCmanual.Otherwise,yourLiPobatterycan
be damaged by deep discharge .
Werecommendacut-offvoltageof3Vpercell
