m) Controlling the Vehicle
Operate the throttle/braking lever for the drive function at the transmitter very cautiously and do not drive too fast at
the beginning until you get used to the car‘s reactions. Do not make any quick and jerky movements with the operating
elements of the remote control.
If the vehicle tends to pull towards the left or the right, set the steering trim on the transmitter accordingly.
Stop driving immediately if the vehicle shows any unusual responses to the remote commands or if the vehicle does
not respond at all.
This behaviour could be caused by low drive batteries, low batteries/rechargeable batteries in the remote control or
by too great a distance between vehicle and remote control.
A coiled, shortened or damaged telescopic aerial, interferences on the radio channel used (e.g. radio transmissions
from other devices) or adverse transmission/reception conditions may also cause unusual responses of the vehicle.
Never point the transmitter aerial directly onto the vehicle. It will decrease range! The best range results if the aerials
of the transmitter and the receiver are in parallel to each other.
When the receiver is supplied with power through the BEC of the speed controller used by you, and thus through
the drive battery, low or empty drive batteries will cause unintentional movement of the vehicle (e.g. twitching of the
steering servo, etc.).
For example, the voltage of the drive battery decreases for a short time under full throttle, so that the receiver will
no longer receive the required operating voltage. The vehicle will speed up, but the steering servo does not react
properly. Stop operating the vehicle at once and use a new, fully charged drive battery.
Before inserting a new, fully charged drive battery into the vehicle, wait for at least 5 to 10 minutes until motor and
speed controller have cooled down sufficiently.
n) Stopping the Vehicle
To stop driving, proceed as follows:
• Let go of the throttle/brake lever on the transmitter so that it goes into neutral position, and let the vehicle run out.
• When the vehicle has stopped, take off the car body and turn off your speed controller.
Never touch the wheels or the drive mechanism, and make sure you do not move the throttle/brake lever at
the transmitter!
• Disconnect the drive battery from the speed controller. Disconnect the plug-in connection completely.
• Now you may turn off the transmitter.
Attention!
The motor, the speed controller and the drive battery get hot during operation! Do not touch these parts
immediately after operation. Danger of burns!
