Now you can switch on your car using the on/off switch located on the radio box.
Always turn the radio on before turning your car on. Note: Always check your
radio settings before running your car!
Check to make sure your steering is centred. If it is not, use the ST-TRIM knob
to the left of the steering wheel. Turning left should make the car turn left.
Right=right.
Racer Tip: Read the Radio manual for more advanced radio setup information!
Now it’s time to set the throttle neutral position. Remove the air cleaner from the
carburettor. The opening on the carb slide should be open very little, from 1-1.5
mm to allow the engine to idle (picture 2). If it is open more than this, the engine
may rev higher than normal until brakes are applied. This condition may wear out
the brakes and/or clutch shoes prematurely making the car difficult to drive. Use
the TH-TRIM tab (picture 3) to move the servo arm into the neutral position if
necessary. While in neutral, the brakes should not be set to “drag”. Adjusting the
collars with a 1.5 mm hexagonal wrench will change your drag brake settings.
