e) Inserting the Drive battery in the Vehicle
Attention!
The drive battery must not be connected to the speed controller yet. First switch on the transmitter, see
chapter 9. c) and d).
Important!
This vehicle is suitable only for use with a LiPo drive battery with 2 cells (nominal voltage of drive battery
7.4 V) or NiMH drive battery with 6 cells (nominal voltage 7.2 V).
When using a drive battery with more cells, there is a danger of fire from overheating of the speed cont-
roller. Apart from this, the vehicle's drive will be overloaded and damaged by this (e.g. differential). Loss of
guarantee/warranty!
Check that the rechargeable battery has a plug system matching the speed controller and that the polarity
is right (red cable = plus/+, black cable = minus/-).
Remove the bracket (A) of the battery holder by pulling out
the two safety clips (B) and then pulling out the bracket
upwards.
Now insert the drive battery so that the connection cable of
the rechargeable battery points backwards.
Otherwise, the connection cable could impair the steering
mechanism in its function.
Put on the bracket of the battery holder again and attach it
with the safety clips removed in the beginning.
f) Connecting the Drive battery to the Speed Controller
First switch off the speed controller. The on/off switch is at
the top of the chassis, right next to the motor, see figure
on the right.
Next to the on/off switch (A), there is the setup button (B)
that is used for programming (see chapter 10).
To switch it off (switch position „OFF"), move the slider to
the left (away from the motor).
Then switch on the transmitter if you haven't done so yet
(see chapter 9. c) and d).
To prevent sudden start-up of the wheels and therefore uncontrolled starting of the model (e.g. if the trim-
ming for the drive is maladjusted), place the model vehicle on a suitable support (or starting box), so that
the wheels can turn freely in case of an error.
Do not reach into the drive. Do not hold the wheels.
Now connect the drive battery to the speed controller. Ensure correct polarity (red cable = plus/+, black cable = mi-
nus/-). Do not apply any force when connecting the battery plug to the connection of the speed controller.
Make sure that the cables do not get into the drive of the vehicle or the steering mechanics. Use cable binders for
fastening if required.
