The Miss Elam Brushless EP comes ready-to-
run with the Pro Boat 27MHz AM radio system
and electronic speed controller already
installed. All assembly and building is done at
the factory, allowing you to quickly get your
boat running.
It is important that you read and follow
this instruction manual along with the radio
system manual before you run this exciting
boat. Failure to read and understand the
manual could result in personal injury,
property damage or permanent damage to
your boat. It is also important to run your
boat responsibly. With proper care and
maintenance, you will be able to proudly
enjoy your Miss Elam Brushless Catamaran
for many years to come.
When operating the boat, stay clear of
people, full-scale boats, stationary objects
and wildlife. It is preferable to operate the
Miss Elam Brushless Catamaran in low wake,
low wind conditions and in areas free of
people, wildlife and objects.
Before you operate your model, make sure
that your frequency is clear. If someone
is operating on the same frequency, both
models could go out of control, possibly
causing damage to the models or to others.
Check all of the hardware and the propeller
for damage and loose screws before and after
each run.
If at any time while operating your model
you sense any abnormal function, end your
operation immediately. Do not operate your
boat again until you are certain the problem
has been corrected. Always stay clear of
the propeller.
You will need to purchase the following to get your boat on the water:
• 8 AA alkaline batteries for the radio transmitter
• 7.2V Ni-MH Battery Pack with Dean's connector (PRB3313 or PRB3314) (2)
• Twin Peak Dual Battery Charger (DYN4033)
• Tamiya/Dean's adapter (PRB3312)
Carefully remove the boat and radio
transmitter from the box. Inspect the boat
to make sure no damage is present. If you
notice damage is present, please contact the
hobby shop where you purchased it.
