• Secure the aerial wire at the top of the guide tube using the aerial tube rubber cap.
Never shorten the aerial wire!
• Switch on the transmitter. The control LED of the transmitter should light up brightly. If it does not light up, check the batteries and, if necessary, replace them.
• Switch on the receiver using the switch on the cover of the RC box. The servos should assume neutral position.
Always observe the right order when switching on/off the transmitter and the receiver!
Switching on: Always switch on the transmitter first, then the receiver.
Switching off: Always switch off the receiver first, then the transmitter.
i) Failsafe module (optional)
To control the vehicle when reception is poor or the receiver battery is low, the model can be equipped with a failsafe module. The failsafe module controls the
throttle/break servo.
Before first use, the failsafe module has to be programmed to the right position of the throttle/brake servo (see the respective operating instructions).
The programmed failsafe position must ensure that to motor is throttled back and the brake is activated.
j) Checking the range of the remote control
In order not to lose control of your model, you should before each first start or after a crash check the remote control and make sure the range is okay. For the
range check, it is sufficient to test the function of the steering servo.
Put the model on a support at the front axle so that the wheels hang freely.
Due to the wheels' good grip and the weight of the vehicle, the wheels will not directly respond to the remote control if the vehicle is on the ground. The response
is as it should be when driving.
Make sure the engine is not running when you check the range!
• Completely retract the telescopic aerial of the transmitter. Switch on the transmitter first, then the receiver.
• Step away about 50 m from your model.
• Turn the steering control wheel (channel 1) to the right. Now the wheels must turn to the right!
• Turn the steering control wheel to the left. Now the wheels must turn to the left!
• Release the lever on the remote control. The wheels must go back to straight-drive position.
Never use the model with a remote control that does not function properly!
If the remote control does not work properly, first check the battery state of the transmitter and the receiver batteries and make sure that no-one else is using your
frequency.
If the problem persists, proceed as described in the troubleshooting table.
