Switch / Battery:

It may not be necessary to use the included switch harness

and 4-cell battery holder if using an optional electronic speed control (ESC).
Check the instructions with your ESC for further information. Otherwise, mount
the included switch harness into the model as instructed in the model’s manual,
and insert the switch harness’s proper mating plug into the receiver’s “BAT”
slot (bottom). For off-road environments, it’s a good idea to wrap or enclose
the switch harness to prevent dirt from entering the switch and causing poor
operation. Insert four “AA” alkaline, NiCd, or NiMH batteries in the included
4-cell battery holder (note proper polarity). Connect the battery holder to the
switch harness and the switch harness to the BAT slot.

SYSTEM CHECK

Turn on the Tx, then the Rx. Make sure all servos operate according to the
movement of the Tx controls (refer to fi gure 4).

Steering:

Turn the steering

wheel left and right. Make
sure there are no obstructions
with the steering servo’s
movements, and the servo
moves in the proper direction.
If the steering wheel is turned
to the right but the model turns
left, reverse the position of the
Steering Reversing switch.

Steering rate:

This dial adjusts

the limits that the steering servo can travel on each side. Turning the dial will
widen or narrow the steering end points. Adjusting this dial to your preference
can help to customize control of steering in different applications.

Throttle:

Squeeze the throttle trigger to make the car move forward. If the

car moves backwards, reverse the position of the Throttle Reversing switch.
(See the model’s instruction manual for specifi c set-up instructions.) Push the
trigger forward for reverse or brake function.

Fail-safe:

This radio system includes a “fail-safe” function, which will

automatically center (bring to neutral) all servos if the receiver loses signal
communications from the transmitter. When the receiver regains signal it will
automatically resume normal function.

Range check:

The “range” or safe operating distance from the Tx to the Rx is

typically as far as you can clearly see the model. Before operating the model,
perform a simple range check to make sure the transmitter maintains good
radio contact with the receiver within your operating area.
