ST. Trim: Adjusts the “hands off” direction of the model.
TH. Trim: Adjusts the motor speed to stop at neutral.
Steering Wheel: controls direction (left/right) of the model.
Throttle Trigger: controls speed and direction (forward/
reverse) of the model.
Bottom cover: covers and holds the batteries that power the
transmitter.
on/off Switch: Turns the power On/Off for the transmitter.
Steering Rate: Adjusts amount the front wheels move when the
steering wheel is turned left and right.
Antenna: Transmits signal to the model.
Indicator lights: Green (right) light indicates adequate battery
power. Red (left) indicates signal strength.
ST. REV: Reverses the function of the steering when the wheel is
turned left or right.
TH. REV: Reverses the function of the speed control when pulled
back or pushed forward.

caUtion: Do not remove transmitter batteries while the
model is powered on or while operating a model as loss
of model control, damage or injury can result.
Installing Batteries
• Avoid driving the vehicle in or through standing water, wet grass, mud or
snow. The electronics in the vehicle are not waterproof.
• Maintain sight of the vehicle at all times.
• Routinely inspect the vehicle for loose wheel hardware.
• Routinely inspect the steering assembly for any loose hardware. Driving
the vehicle off-road can cause fasteners to loosen over time.
• Do not drive the vehicle in tall grass. Doing so can damage the vehicle or
electronics.
• Stop driving the vehicle when you notice a lack of power. Driving the
vehicle when the battery is discharged can cause the receiver to power
off. You may lose control of the vehicle.
caUtion: Do not discharge a LiPo battery below 3V per cell. Batteries
discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest approved voltage may
become damaged, resulting in loss of performance and potential fire
when batteries are charged.
• Do not apply throttle in forward or reverse if the vehicle is stuck. Applying
throttle in this instance can damage the motor or ESc.
• After driving the vehicle, allow the electronics several minutes to cool
before using the next battery pack.
RuN TImE
The largest factor in run time is the capacity of your battery pack. A larger
mAh rating increases the amount of run time you will experience.
The condition of a battery pack is also an important factor in both run time
and speed. The battery connectors may become hot during driving. Batteries
will lose performance and capacity over time.
Driving the vehicle from a stop to full speed repeatedly will damage the
batteries and electronics over time. Sudden acceleration will lead to shorter
run times.
To Improve Run Times
• clean and oil bearings often. If bearings are dirty, they will increase
friction and cause reduced performance.
• Keep your vehicle clean and maintained.
• Allow more airflow to the ESc.
• change the gearing to a lower ratio. A lower ratio decreases the operating
temperature of the electronics. Use a smaller pinion gear or larger spur
gear to lower the gear ratio.
• Use a battery pack with a higher mAh rating.
• Use the optimum charger to charge your battery packs. (Visit your local
hobby dealer for information.)
