HECKING THE RANGE OF THE REMOTE CONTROL TRANSMITTER
In order not to lose control over you model, you should, before each first start or after a crash, check the function
and the range of the RC system.
For the range test, it is sufficient to test the function of the steering servo.
Support the model at the front axle in a way that allows the wheels to hang freely.
-
Pull out the antenna of the transmitter completely and switch the transmitter on then the receiver.
-
Stride away from the model, approx. 50 m (engine does not run).
-
Place the right lever of the remote control and the corresponding trim lever in neutral position
-
Move the steering wheel (channel 1) towards the right.
Now the wheels must drive in towards the right!
-
Move the steering wheel towards the left.
Now the wheels must drive in towards the left!
-
Release the lever of the remote control,
the wheels must turn back into the straight drive position.
Never drive the model with a remote control that is not functioning properly!
In the best case, "only" the model will suffer damages.
If the remote control does not function perfectly, check the charge state of the transmitter first, and
the rechargeable batteries of the receiver, then make sure that no other person is operating a vehicle on your frequency.
If the problem still persists, consult the trouble shooting table.

HECK ALIGNMENT AND TOOTH BACKLASH OF DRIVE
The engine transmits its capacity via the pinions on the clutch bell to the main pinion at the center differential.
Both rotary axes, i.e. the crank shaft, engine-sided, and the axis of the drive section to the front and rear axis, must be
aligned so that they are exactly in parallel. This prevents tensions in the drive section, premature wear of the pinions and
bearing journals as well as loss of power.
The parallel alignment of crankshaft and drive section must be checked every time before using the vehicle
and, if necessary, must be readjusted!
When the alignment is in parallel, the pinion on the clutch bell and the main pinion will run smoothly.
If there is too much play, this will destroy the toothed wheels in the long run; too little play destroys the bearing in clutch
and engine.
Checking the tooth backlash
-
Place thin strips of paper between the pinions on the
clutch bell and the main pinions in the drive section.
-
Move toothed wheels by hand;
the paper strips must not rip apart when the wheels
turn!
Readjusting
-
Unscrew four screws of the engine mount fastener on the
lower side of the the mounting plate (chassis)
-
Align engine laterally and fasten screws again tightly
-
Unscrew four screws, at the top, on the engine support
and adjust the engine vertically
