ELECTRICAL LAYOUT
For correct operation, Channels 1 and 2
must be used as shown in the wiring diagram.
The motor can be disconnected from the ESC
at the connectors in the wiring.
MAINTENANCE
SETTING THE GEAR MESH
The gear mesh has already been set at the factory. Setting the gear mesh
is only necessary when changing motors or gears.
You must remove the vehicle’s gear cover (
A
) to make this adjustment.
Proper gear mesh (how the gear teeth meet) is important to the
performance of the vehicle. When the gear mesh is too loose, the spur
gear could be damaged by the pinion gear of the motor. If the mesh is too
tight, speed could be limited and the motor and ESC will overheat.
Set the gear mesh by following these simple steps:
1.
Loosen the 2 motor screws (
B
).
2.
Put a small piece of paper (
C
) between the pinion and spur gears.
3.
Push the gears together while tightening the motor screws.
4.
Rotate the gears to remove the paper. The gearing should move a
small amount.
5.
Reinstall the gear cover.

ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL (ESC)
Programming:
The ESC comes with one jumper pre-installed:
BATT: Li-Po confi guration.
The throttle setting without the jumper indicates Throttle/Brake/Reverse
(F/Br/R). Always use this setting for this vehicle.
To change the battery type to Ni-MH, disconnect the jumper from the
default port and connect it to the Ni-MH port. If the jumper is removed
from the BATT port, the default setting is Li-Po mode. Power off the ESC,
then power it back on.
If the jumpers are lost or not installed, the ESC will default to F/Br/R and
BATT: Li-Po.
NOTICE:
Only use the Ni-MH port when using Ni-MH batteries. Using
the Ni-MH port with a Li-Po battery can cause serious damage to the
battery and is unsafe.
