Each radio control system comes with a sticker on the transmitter and on the receiver showing which frequency the radio control 
system operates on (either in the 27MHz, 40MHz or 75MHz band). No two radio systems can operate nearby each other if they are on 
the same frequency. You can purchase transmitter and receiver crystals separately and change them if you plan on running your Rage 
1/18th 4WD Electric Off Road Truck with other people.

antenna:

  Transmits the signal from the transmitter to the receiver. The antenna should be completely extended during use.

battery compartment:

  Houses the 8 'AA' batteries (not supplied) that power the transmitter.

charging Jack:

  Used for onboard charging when using rechargeable batteries (not supplied).

crystal:

  This is the frequency crystal of the transmitter. You can change crystals in both the transmitter and the receiver so that you and your friends 

can drive at the same time. No two radio control systems nearby can be operated on the same frequency.

on/off switch:

  Turns the transmitter on and off. L.E.D.s show the power status of the batteries.

servo Reversing switches:

  Allows you to change the direction the steering servo and the throttle operate by moving the switches. 

steering dual Rate control dial:

  This dial adjusts the overall travel of the steering servo. Push the dial forward for maximum steering. Pull the dial 

back to reduce steering travel.

steering wheel: 

 Controls your Rage 1/18th 4WD Electric Off Road Truck's steering. Turn the wheel to the right and your Rage 1/18th 4WD Electric Off 

Road Truck turns right. Turn the wheel to the left and your Rage 1/18th 4WD Electric Off Road Truck turns left.

throttle / brake trigger:

  Controls the speed and braking ability of your Rage 1/18th 4WD Electric Off Road Truck. Pull the trigger to accelerate, release 

the trigger to decelerate, and push the trigger to brake. Pushing the trigger a second time activates the reverse feature.

trim dials:

  These dials, one for steering and one for throttle, allow you to fine tune the servo's centre and the throttle's neutral point by turning the dials.

27Mhz and 75Mhz

These frequencies are legal for use in North America

27Mhz and 40Mhz

These frequencies are legal for use in Europe,

but can vary from country to country
