c) Inserting Receiver Battery into the Vehicle
Due to the high current demand of the two servos, high-
performance a receiver battery is required (as with a
combustion-engine model vehicle) (we recommend a
5-cell NiMH hump battery pack).
Open the battery box (figure 3, item 1) by pulling off
the three clips and insert the receiver battery (figure 3,
item 2).
Route the connection cable of the battery out of the
battery box (figure 3, item 3) and connect it to the red
two-pin BEC plug that was routed out of the receiver
box from the on/off switch (figure 3, item 4).
Close the battery box again; make sure that no cables
are bent or squeezed.
d) Taking the Transmitter and Receiver System into Operation
Open the battery compartment on the transmitter and insert new batteries or fully charged rechargeable batteries.
Observe correct polarity (plus/+ and minus/-), see label on the battery compartment. Close the battery compartment
again.
Switch on the transmitter. Check the functions at the transmitter.
Observe the enclosed operating instructions for the remote control system.
Switch on the receiver system (set switch to „ON“, see circle in figure 2).
e) Programme Fail-Safe
For reasons of safety, the motor must not run while programming the fail-safe function! Work according to
the operating instructions of the remote control to programme the fail-safe. If an external fail-safe module
is used (not included in the delivery; operational accessories), use these operating instructions. The fail-
safe must control the throttle/brake servo.
Switch on the transmitter and the receiver power supply and check the function of the servo. Then switch on the
transmitter.
Due to the missing control impulses, the steering servo starts to vibrate; this is normal however. (If desired, a second
failsafe (optionally available) can also move the steering servo to a defined position, e.g. for straight forward run).
Set the fail-safe so that the throttle/brake servo is in the position in which the brake is activated (max. brake output).
When the transmitter signal fails, the fail-safe now automatically sets throttle to idle and activates the brake so that the
vehicle stops.
