DRIvING YOUR OUTLAW RTR BUGGY

n  

Driving your Outlaw RTR Brushless Buggy, Continued....

q

  After successfully completing the range check, extend the transmitter antenna completely, make sure that you're using fully-charged 

battery pack, and that the transmitter batteries have sufficient power. All three Battery Indicator Lights should be illuminated.

q

  The basic techniques used to drive your 

Outlaw RTR Brushless Buggy

 are pretty simple. To turn right, turn the steering wheel forward 

(clockwise). To turn left, turn the steering wheel backward (counter-clockwise). To accelerate forward, pull the throttle trigger back. 
To apply brakes, push the throttle trigger forward. To go into reverse, release the throttle trigger momentarily, then push the throttle 
trigger forward again. You will find that the 

Outlaw RTR Brushless Buggy

 is a fast, nimble, and great handling model.

  To get the most out of your 

Outlaw RTR Brushless Buggy

, read the transmitter-specific information below and the Chassis Tuning 

Guide on pages 16 through 21.

Using the Steering and Throttle Trim Knobs

q  

The steering trim knob is used to make fine-tuned adjustments to the steering. For 

example, if your 

Outlaw RTR Brushless Buggy

 constantly wants to turn to the right or 

to the left while you're driving on a smooth, flat surface, turn the steering trim knob in 
the opposite direction just enough so that when you let go of the steering wheel, your 

Outlaw RTR Brushless Buggy

 drives in a straight line.

q  

The throttle trim knob is used to make fine-tuned adjustments to the throttle. For 

example, if you release the throttle trigger, but your 

Outlaw RTR Brushless Buggy

 still 

moves either forward or in reverse, turn the throttle trim knob in the opposite direction just enough so that when you let go of the throttle 
trigger, your 

Outlaw RTR Brushless Buggy

 doesn't accelerate in either direction.

Using the Steering Dual Rate Dial

q  

The steering dual rate dial allows you to change the amount of steering servo travel 

compared to the amount of physical movement of the steering wheel. For example, by 
increasing the steering dual rate (move the dial forward with your thumb), you can make 
the steering servo travel more which might prevent your model from pushing during 
turns. By reducing the steering dual rate (move the dial backward with your thumb) you 
can make the steering servo travel less which might reduce the amount of turn in the 
corners. The amount that you increase or decrease the steering dual rate is proportional 
with how much you move the steering dual rate dial. Adjustments can be made while 

you're driving, so you can make adjustments during a race, etc.

Using the Steering and Throttle EPA Knobs

q  

The steering EPA (End Point Adjustment) knobs are used to adjust the maximum 

desired amount of steering servo travel in both directions independently. Turning the
EPA-ST Left knob counter-clockwise decreases servo travel in the left-hand direction 
and turning the EPA-ST Left knob clockwise increases servo travel in the left-hand 
direction. Turning the EPA-ST Right knob counter-clockwise decreases servo travel in 
the right-hand direction and turning the EPA-ST Right knob clockwise increases servo 
travel in the right-hand direction. For example, if your 

Outlaw RTR Brushless Buggy

 turns 

to the right sharper than it turns to the left, you can increase left-hand steering travel by 

turning the EPA-ST Left knob clockwise (increase left-hand steering). In addition, if you have too much steering or not enough steering, 
you can increase or decrease both knobs equal amounts.

q  

The throttle EPA (End Point Adjustment) knobs are used to adjust the maximum 

desired amount of throttle in both directions independently. Turning the EPA-TH Backward 
knob  counter-clockwise  decreases  the  maximum  amount  of  throttle  in  the  reverse 
direction and turning the EPA-TH Backward knob clockwise increases the maximum 
amount of throttle in the reverse direction.  Turning the EPA-TH Forward knob counter-
clockwise decreases the maximum amount of throttle in the forward direction and turning 
the EPA-TH Forward knob clockwise increases the maximum amount of throttle in the 
forward direction. For example, if your 

Outlaw RTR Brushless Buggy

 accelerates too 

fast in the reverse direction, you can reduce the amount of reverse throttle by turning the EPA-TH Backward knob counter-clockwise. 
In addition, you may be able to increase top speed in the forward direction by turning the EPA-TH Forward knob clockwise.
