i) Inserting the Drive Battery into the Vehicle
Attention!
The drive battery must not be connected to the speed controller yet. First, start the transmitter.
This vehicle or the drive mechanics is suitable only for use with a LiPo drive battery with 2 cells (nominal
voltage of drive battery 7.4 V) or NiMH drive battery with 6 cells (nominal voltage of drive battery 7.2 V).
Use of drive batteries with more cells will overload and thus damage the vehicle's drive; loss of warranty/
guarantee!
Important!
If a LiPo battery is used as a drive battery, check the basic settings of the speed controller used by you for
whether undervoltage protection is activated (we recommend 3.0 V/cell). With the undervoltage recognition
deactivated, the LiPo battery will suffer deep discharge and be destroyed.
If an NiMH-drive battery is used, deactivate the undervoltage recognition.
Observe the operating instructions for the speed controller used by you on this.
Remove the bracket (A) of the battery holder by pulling
out the two safety clips (B) and then taking off the bracket
upwards.
Insert the drive battery so that the connection cable of the
rechargeable battery points backwards. Otherwise, the
connection cable could impair the steering mechanism in
its function.
Put on the bracket of the battery holder again and attach it
with the safety clips removed in the beginning.
j) Connecting the Drive Battery to the Speed Controller
First switch off the speed controller.
Then start the transmitter. Put the trimming for driving and steering into the centre position. Let go of the throttle lever
on the transmitter so that it is in the middle position.
To prevent sudden start-up of the wheels and therefore uncontrolled starting of the model (e.g. if the trim
-
ming for the drive is maladjusted), place the model vehicle on a suitable support (or starting box), so that the
wheels can turn freely in case of an error.
Do not reach into the drive. Do not hold the wheels.
Now connect the drive battery to the speed controller. Ensure correct polarity (red cable = plus/+, black cable =
minus/-).
