Adjusting The Camber; Programming Of The Speed Controller - df models Brushless HotHammer Notice D'utilisation

. Adjusting the camber

The wheels are attached between the upper and lower wishbones. Changing the length of the top wishbone
brings about a change in the incline of the plane of the wheel.
The wheel camber is the incline of the plane of the wheel with regard to the vertical plane.
When the top edges of the wheels on one axle are inclined inward (toward the middle of the vehicle), this
is called negative camber. When the top edges of the wheels on one axle are inclined outward, this is called
positive camber.
Negative camber on the front axle increases the directional control forces of the wheels when cornering -- the
steering responds more directly. The steering forces become less, and the handling smoother. At the same time the axial bea-
ring play is eliminated, because the wheel is pressed toward the axle onto the steering knuckle.
Negative camber on the rear axle reduces the tendency of the rear of the vehicle to swerve out in curves.
Adjusting with negative camber causes the contact surface of the tyre to shift inward, increasing wear on the inner side of
the tyre.
Adjusting the camber on the front and rear axles
The camber is adjusted using the tensioning screws (arrows) in the top wishbones.
> Turning the tensioning screw clockwise (to the front) shortens the wishbone, and
the wheel is drawn inward at the top toward negative camber.
Turning the tensioning screw counter-clockwise (to the rear) lengthens the wish-
>
bone, and the wheel is pressed outward at the top toward positive camber.

. Programming of the speed controller

The speed controller is already adjusted to the remote control unit included and the model. When using a new speed control-
ler or a new transmitter and after reversing the direction of the rotation of the motor by means of the reverse switch on the
transmitter, however, the control range of the accelerator/brake lever has to be reset.
Setting the control range of the accelerator/brake lever
Switch the speed controller off and the transmitter on.
>
> Undo the cotter pins and open the receiver/controller box.
> Press and hold down the set button (arrow) and switch on the speed controller.
As soon as the red LED begins to blink, immediately release the set button.
Put the accelerator/brake lever in the neutral position and press the set button.
>
The green LED will blink once, and a signal sound will be heard.
> Put the accelerator/brake lever in the full speed position and press the set button
another time.
The green LED will blink twice, and the signal sound will also be heard twice.
> Put the accelerator/brake lever in the braked position and press the set button
another time.
The green LED will blink three times, and the signal sound will also be heard
three times.
> The adjustment of the control range is now completed, and the motor can be started after 3 more seconds.
For more far-reaching programming, follow the separate Operating Instructions for the speed controller.
The speed controller has more adjustments for advanced drivers, for example:
> 2 operating modes "Forward with Brake" and "Forward/Reverse with Brake"
> 8-stage "drag brake" setting
6-stage selection of the interrupting voltage
>
> 4-stage adjustment of the start-up behaviour ("punch") from "soft" to "very aggressive"
> 4-stage setting of the maximum braking strength
> 4 reverse speeds
4-stage setting of the braking strength when the braking takes affect
>
3-stage neutral operation
>
Furthermore, an external module, a programming card, is available in the accessories for user-friendly programming of the
speed controller.
