GB - Getting Started
Make sure that all parts from the box content are included. Trans-
mitter, Car, Charger, Balancer, battery pack.
The battery pack has to be
charged before use. Plug
the charger into a 230V
outlet. Connect the charger
to the balancer and the ba-
lancer to the balancer plug
of the battery The average
charging time of the empty
battery is about 5 - 7 hours.
Place 8 pieces of AA batteries into
the transmitter. If rechargebale, ple-
ase also make sure these are fully
charged.
Read the chapter for usage of the
transmitter and its controls carefully.
Turn the radio off and make sure all the
trim buttons on the transmitter are in
neutral position.
You have purchased a RTR model,
which means it should be ready for
immediate use after charging all batte-
ries. You need to check the car, electro-
nics and all plastic parts after each use
to make sure no parts are damaged. Also all the moving parts
must be checked for their
clearance, bolts and screws
that they are tight.
Now put the battery into the
battery holder in the vehicle.
Make sure that the battery
holder is secured properly
with the 2 included clips for
the battery holder. Now con-
nect the battery to the speed
control in the model.
Keep the car in the air in case that the motor turns at full power.
Switch the speed control on the On / Off switch. Set the model on
the ground and test it for proper functioning. Steering right/ left,
throttle/ brake, forward and backward. If the wheels do not point
straight forward even though the steering wheel on the trans-
mitter is in neutral, you can adjust it with the trim button on the
transmitter.
Trim L/R = steering
Trim V/R = forward/backward
Should the wheels rotate forward or backward, even though no
command was given through the transmitter, then also the thrott-
le needs to be trimmed on the transmitter.
We encourage you now to activate your receiver‘s built-in Failsa-
fe unit.
On delivery it is turned off.
Leave the throttle lever in neutral position (see chapter Fail
Safe). Press the fail-safe button on the receiver until it fl ashes
and let go to activate.
Check this principle in an electric vehicle only in the neutral
position of the throttle, because otherwise the model goes
into the previously programmed throttle position in a loss of
the transmitter signal.
Now you can make the fi rst test drive. If this is your fi rst rc car, we
recommend to drive it on a small test track to familiarise yourself
with the control of the vehicle and the controls of the transmitter.
Attention!
Your vehicle has a pivot front suspension. This has a number of
advantages. It is very robust and easy to maintain. The set-up of
the car has been done so the drive shaft will not pop out. As with
any model, screws and bolts can losen during break-in of the car.
This can result in tolerance of the drive shaft. The drive shaft can
then pop out if high pressure is applied.
The inner ball screw (item No.: 505081) will enable you to adjust
the tolerance resulting in fi ne adjustments of the track width. For
best results when setting up the pivot ball for the fi rst time, please
always adjust the upper and lower pivot in the same way. Fasten
as far as the pivot can still be pulled up and down easyly but not
as far that it will pop out if you give full steering angle. The outer
plastic socket screw (item No.: 505080) is only used for securing
of the steering knuckle. This should not be too tight, otherwise
the steering is not smooth and the handling can be adversely
affected.
Important!
By using LiPo batteries take care that the undervoltage shut-
down is activated, see page 20 - 23
Otherwise, your LiPo battery can be damaged by deep dischar-
ge.
We recommend a cut-off voltage of 3 V per cell.
