q Push the throttle trigger forward. Both the front and rear wheels should spin backward.
q Release the throttle trigger and the wheels should stop spinning.
As a safety precaution to prevent damage to the drivetrain, the Rail must be stopped before going into reverse. When the Rail
is moving forward and you push the throttle trigger to go into reverse, the Rail will begin to brake and come to a stop. To go into
reverse, release the throttle trigger momentarily, then push the throttle trigger forward again.

Throttle Control Range Calibration
Before running your Rail for the rst time, we recommend that you calibrate the throttle to ensure that you're achieving maximum
throttle range. To calibrate the throttle control range, follow these procedures:
q Double-check that the ESC is turned 'OFF', then connect your charged battery pack(s) to the ESC battery leads.
q Turn your transmitter 'ON', check the throttle channel servo reversing function is set to REV (Reverse), then adjust both throttle
channel End Points to 100%. For more information, refer to the separate radio control system Operating Manual.
q While holding down the 'SET' button on the ESC, turn the ESC 'ON'. Wait approximately 4 seconds until the orange LED turns
solid, then release the 'SET' button. The Status LED is visible through the side frame, near the bottom of the ESC.
q Pull the throttle trigger to full throttle. The red LED will ash, then the red LED will turn solid and the ESC will beep once.
q Push the throttle trigger to full reverse. The orange LED will ash, then the orange LED will turn solid and the ESC will beep twice.
q Rotate the transmitter's wheel forward (to the right). The Rail's front wheels should
turn right.
IMPORTANT: If the wheels don't turn right, use the transmitter's steering channel
servo reversing function to change the direction that the front wheels turn. For more
information, refer to the separate radio control system Operating Manual included.
q Rotate the transmitter's wheel backward (to the left). The Rail's front wheels should
turn left.
q Let go of the transmitter wheel. The Rail's wheels should return to centre.
IMPORTANT: If the wheels do not point straight ahead (centre) after you return the
transmitter wheel to centre, use the transmitter's trim function to adjust the wheels
so that they point straight ahead. For more information, refer to the separate radio
control system Operating Manual included.
q Pull the throttle trigger back. Both the front and rear wheels should spin forward.
q Release the throttle trigger and the wheels should stop spinning.
IMPORTANT: If the wheels don't spin forward, use the transmitter's throttle
channel servo reversing function to change the direction that the wheels turn. For more
information, refer to the separate radio control system Operating Manual included.
