Testing Your Boat in the Water

1. Carefully place the boat in the water.
2. Operate the boat at slow speeds near the shoreline.

Avoid objects in the water at all times.

3. Once you are comfortable operating the boat at

slow speeds, it is safe to operate the boat farther

from the shore.
Tip: If you are using too much steering trim on your

transmitter to make the boat drive straight, return the

trim to neutral and mechanically center the rudder.

To do this, loosen the ball link from the rudder horn,

then turn the ball link on the linkage threads until the

rudder is properly centered.

4. Bring the boat back to shore when you notice

the boat starting to lose speed.

5. Power off the ESC and disconnect the battery packs.
6. Allow the motor, ESC and battery packs to cool before

charging the batteries or operating the boat again.

NOTICE: Do not turn off the transmitter first

or the receiver may pick up stray signals and

run out of control.

Boating Tips

Avoid boating near other watercraft, stationary objects,

waves, wakes and other rapidly moving water, wildlife,

floating debris or overhanging trees. You should also be

careful to avoid boating in areas where there are many

people, such as swimming areas, park waterways or

fishing areas. Consult local laws and ordinances before

choosing a location to pilot your boat.
Maximum speeds are only achieved when the water

conditions are smooth and there is little wind. A sharp

turn, wind or waves can turn over a boat when it is

moving quickly. Always pilot your boat for the wind and

water conditions so that the boat does not turn over.
When running your boat for the first time, we

recommend calm wind and water conditions so that

you can learn how the boat responds to your control.

When making turns, decrease the throttle position

in order to decrease speed and probability of flipping

the boat over.

NOTICE: When running at full speed in choppy

waters, the prop may exit and re-enter the water

repeatedly and very quickly, subjecting the propeller

to some stress. Frequent stress may damage

the propeller.

CAuTION: Never retrieve your boat from

the water in extreme temperatures, turbulence

or without supervision.

Binding

Binding is the process of programming the receiver of

the control unit to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique

Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter. The DX2E

and MR200 are bound at the factory. If you need to

re-bind, follow the instructions below.
1. With the receiver off, insert the bind plug into the

BIND port on the receiver.

2. When a battery is connected to the ESC and the

ESC is connected to the throttle port on the receiver,

power on the ESC switch. An LED on the receiver will

flash rapidly, showing the receiver is in Bind mode.

3. Do not touch the throttle or steering controls, as this

sets failsafe settings. The throttle and throttle trim

should always be at the lowest setting during bind

mode. Press and hold the bind button and power

on the transmitter. The green LED on the front of the

transmitter will flash within three seconds, indicating

the transmitter is in bind mode.

4. Release the bind button when the green LED flashes.
