BEFORE OPERATING YOUR MODEL

Check servo operation

Confirm the model’s wheels turn right and left when the 
transmitter steering wheel is turned right and left. The 
front wheels should be pointing straight ahead. If they 
are turned slightly, slowly adjust the steering trim knob 
on the transmitter until they are pointing straight ahead.

Range test the radio system

With a friend’s help, check servo operation at the 
farthest distance you plan to drive the model and 
confirm that there is no radio interference.

OPERATING YOUR MODEL

Avoid running your model in tall grass, deep sand, or other 
conditions that severely limit the driving performance of the 
model. This will strain the power system and could cause 
early motor failure. 

If the model becomes stuck, do not 

apply throttle. Free the model before continuing.

The transmitter has a directional antenna. For maximum 
range, hold the transmitter upright and pointed in the 
direction of the model. Pointing the transmitter away 
from the model will reduce radio range.

AFTER YOU RUN YOUR MODEL

1. Turn the model off

. Press and release the EZ-Set button on the speed control.

2. Unplug the battery and remove it from the model

. Do not store the model with  

the battery installed.

3. Turn the transmitter off

. Always turn the transmitter off last, after the model has been  

turned off.

Note:

 After stopping the model, return the 

transmitter’s trigger to neutral and push
