the throttle trigger operates the slide carburetor. If the servos do not
respond, remove the batteries and make sure they are installed
correctly.
E. Turn off the power switch on the car and then on the transmitter.
Although your AfterBurner comes factory-assembled, it is
important to fi nely adjust the steering trim before operating.
1. Turn on the transmitter and
then the receiver, but do not
start the engine. Position the
steering trim knob into the
neutral (center) position
(see Figure 8).
2. On a smooth, level, paved
surface, roll the car forward a
few feet at a time. Make sure
it rolls straight, not veering left
or right. If it does not roll
straight, adjust the steering knob until the vehicle rolls straight on
its own.

3. It’s also a good idea to test the steering functions while you are checking
the trim. Just like in a car, turning the wheel on the transmitter to the left
makes the vehicles wheels turn left and vice versa.
4. Range Check: Turn on the transmitter and extend the antenna fully then
switch on the model. walk about 150 feet away and make sure the ve-
hicle responds reliably to the controls.
Remember, the AfterBurner is a high-performance vehicle capable of
reaching speeds of over 60 MPH. It is capable of causing serious injury or
damage if not operated properly. Your AfterBurner is not a toy. It is
designed for operation by or under close supervision of a responsible adult.
Finding the Right Location
Always drive your car in a wide open area, free from trees, cars and other
obstructions. Do not operate this vehicle on highways or in large crowds of
people. Never operate in heavy winds, rainy weather or after dark. Do not
operate your AfterBurner at times or in locations where the engine’s noise
will be objectionable. Wear hearing protection if you are sensitive to engine
noise. Never operate any Nitro- or gas-powered vehicle in dry bush, dry
grass or dry leaves! This creates a very dangerous fi re hazard.
