Driving the Speed-NT
Always follow these precautions when running your Speed-NT
The electronics in this model are not waterproof and you
must avoid running it in or through standing water, wet
grass, mud or snow.
Do not run the Speed-NT at dusk or in the dark when
visibility is limited.
Do not attempt to run this model if it will be out of sight for
any amount of time.
Do not run this model near a crowd of people.
Always check for proper radio function and battery condition
before operating.
Check to make sure that the tires are securely glued to the rims.
Check the model thoroughly for loose nuts, bolts and screws
before and after running.
Make sure you use proper dirt tires if running off-road.
Never run the model with old or discharged batteries –
especially dry cells in the model.
If the model gets stuck do not pull the throttle as it may
result in damage to the engine or clutch.
Leave plenty of room to stop the model. It will take as much
room to stop as it did to accelerate.
Avoid repeated or prolonged heavy braking as this will cause
the brakes to overheat and fail.
Steering Servo Location
The steering servo in the Speed-NT comes mounted in the
forward position to help keep the front end on the ground
while accelerating and at top speed. It can also be moved
to a rearward position which will allow the Speed-NT to pull
wheelies even easier. There are locating pins on the servo
mounts that key to pockets on the center brace at the top and
bushings that sit in holes on the chassis. As seen in the photos
if you choose to move the steering servo to the rear position
you must move the servo mount bushings to the rear position
in the chassis and also remove and reinstall the studded ball in
the servo arm to the front side.
