j) Controlling the Vehicle
The following figures are only to illustrate the functions and do not necessarily correspond to the design of
the transmitter provided.
1. Release throttle/braking lever, vehicle rolls to a halt (or does not move), lever is in neutral position
2. Drive forwards, pull the throttle/brake lever towards the handle
3. Drive forwards and then brake (vehicle slows down; does not roll to a halt slowly); push throttle/brake lever away
from the handle without stopping
Move the throttle/braking lever for the drive function very cautiously and do not drive too fast at the beginning
until you get used to the reactions of the car.
Do not make any quick and jerky movements with the operating elements of the remote control.
If the vehicle tends to pull towards the left or the right, set the steering trim on the transmitter accordingly
(also see operating instructions of the remote control).
If the neutral position of the driving function is not correct (e.g. trimming slightly misadjusted), increased
idle speed of the engine may cause the clutch to drag and wear prematurely (trimming is set to the full
throttle direction) or the brake prevents rolling of the vehicle (trimming misadjusted towards brake). If you
have one of these problems, correct the trimming settings for the driving function.
The model's two-stroke engine is air cooled. This means that the airstream has to cool down the engine
(air cooling).
This is why you should try to avoid accelerating the vehicle with frequent, strong load changes (short
throttle bursts from low rev range and jerkily lowering the revs). The short-term high speeds will strongly
heat the engine without the corresponding cooling from airstream being ensured. As a result of overheating
the engine, the piston may get stuck in the cylinder liner (piston gets stuck) and suddenly block the drive.
This could cause consequential damage to the entire drive train.
Stop driving immediately if the vehicle shows any unusual responses to the remote commands or if the
vehicle does not respond at all.
