Installing The Receiver Battery Pack; Turning On The R/C Unit; Turning Off The R/C Unit; Trim Setup - Maverick BLACKOUT XB Manuel D'instructions

Installing the receiver battery pack

Once you have fully charged your receiver battery you must insert it as follows.
Remove the 4 screws and remove the
receiver tray lid

Turning on the R/C Unit

Turn on the transmitter first followed by the receiver or speed control.
Always check you have control of the servos and electronic speed control if applicable. Check the range of operation before starting your engine
or running.

Turning off the R/C Unit

Only turn off the R/C Unit once you have stopped the car and stopped the engine if applicable.
Turn off receiver first and then turn off transmitter.
Always disconnect the battery connector from the receiver/speed control after driving.

Trim Setup

You need to check that your trims are correctly set before you start the engine or use the car. Once you have turned the R/C unit on adjust the
steering trim to make sure the front wheels are pointing straight.
You also need to check that you have correct settings on the throttle and brake linkage. The carburettor should be fully closed at neutral and the
brake should not be engaged. Check that the carburettor opens fully on acceleration and that the brake engages when you pull on the brake.
You should re-set the electronic speed control if you notice any lag in the throttle or brakes. This will set up the throttle and brakes on your electric
car.

Fail Safe Operation and Setup

The Receiver has a built in failsafe. The failsafe will automatically go to a pre set position if:
•
You lose radio signal/power runs out in transmitter
•
If you suffer any interference
•
If your receiver battery runs out of power
It is advised that you should set the failsafe so that in the event of any of the above situations the
throttle servo should apply brakes to your Nitro car or the throttle disengages to neutral on an
electronic speed control.
To set up your failsafe you must do the following.
•
Turn on the transmitter and the receiver
•
Set the steering and throttle trims to the neutral position.
•
Press the "Fail Safe Set" button on the receiver. The LED will start to flash rapidly.
•
While applying the desired amount of brakes/neutral on the transmitter (brakes for engine, neutral for speed control) press the "Fail safe
set" button. The LED will turn solid and the failsafe is set.
To check the failsafe is working you must turn on the R/C unit and then apply throttle with the transmitter. Whilst holding throttle turn off the
transmitter. The throttle servo or ESC should return to the pre-set position. This means the failsafe is working correctly. If your servo or ESC does
not return to the pre-set position then you must try to re-set your failsafe.
Insert and connect the battery pack. Replace
the lid and fasten the 4 screws.
