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.
