Quick Start Guide
If you’re an experienced RC driver or pilot, this list will give you all the informa on you need to get started
driving you’re new boat as quickly as possible. If this is your fi rst RC vehicle, it is strongly recommended that

Before Boa ng
1. Before turning on your transmi er, it is important to make sure that the Thro le Ra o Switch at the top
of the transmi er is located so that you can read 5:5 on the switch. The transmi er should arrive from
the factory fi xed in this posi on, but it is important to confi rm before turning on the transmi er. If it is
not fi xed in this posi on, it must be moved there before opera on. We strongly suggest that once in that
posi on the switch should be locked so that it cannot be moved. For addi onal details, please see page
9 of this manual.
2. Turn on your transmi er.
3. Install your fully charged ba eries in both the boat and transmi er. Make sure you use the Velcro on
your ba ery to securely a ach it to the Velcro at the bo om of the boat’s hull.
4. Make sure the transmi er thro le trigger and trim are centered, and the switch on the top of the
transmi er is posi oned toward the rear in the 5:5 posi on.
5. Connect the ba ery plug to the ESC plug inside the boat.
6. Make sure the boat is bound to the transmi er. If not, bind the boat to the transmi er using the binding
instruc ons in the included transmi er manual.
7. Make sure all controls – rudder and thro le – move freely and are turning in the correct direc on. If not,
refer to the included transmi er manual for direc ons.
8. Adjust the steering rate on your transmi er, as desired.

A er Boa ng
1. Always unplug the ba ery from the ESC before turning off your transmi er to make sure the boat cannot
