IMPORTANT
Before using this ‘958’ series model and its radio control system, and to ensure the safety of yourself and others, it is very important that you read these instructions thoroughly and understand them.
‘958’ series model is capable of speeds in excess of 80+km/h! Care should be taken to avoid the possibility of injury and/or property damage.
‘958’ series model is designed for use in fresh water only. They are not designed for use in salt water!
‘958’ series model is not intended for persons under 14 years of age, unless closely supervised by an adult.

ASSEMBLING THE BOAT STAND

Assemble the included boat stand by slotting the pieces together as shown ( Invincible Razor stand shownforreference).
Apply cyanoacrylate glue or 2-part epoxy to secure the joints and allow the glue to completely set before placing your ‘95S’ series model on it.

INSTALLING THE RUDDER AND PROPELLER

1. Slide the rudder assembly into its mount and secure with the cap screws and nuts provided using the included 2.5mm Allen key and a 5.5/7mm spanner. See ‘ADJUSTING THE REAR SHAFT STRUT’ section overleaf for details of position.
2. Slide the rudder connecting rod through the mount in the rudder arm and secure it using the 2.5mm Allen Key.
3. Take the silicone cooling tube that exits the right rear side of the hull and push it onto the water inlet nipple on top of the rudder.
4. Finally, fit a propeller to the propeller shaft and secure with the intended nylon nut. Do not overtighten as the nylon insert will prevent the nut from accidentally working loose!

Note: When securing the rudder connecting rod, all radio equipment should be switched ‘ON’ and the steering servo horn should be vertical (neutral).

ADJUSTING THE REAR SHAFT STRUT

The position of the rear shaft strut to the hull will have an effect on the way your boat performs. The illustrations below show standard factory settings that are good for most applications.
Adjusting the rear strut to a higher position will increase top-end speed, but reduce steering response and could cause cavitation (unwanted vibration) if excessivley adjusted, which can cause harm to the motor and ESC. It will also result in a decrease of top-end speed.
Adjusting the rear shaft down will increase steering response, but could cause the model to oversteer and reduce overall speed. This adjustment can be beneficial when running on rougher water however.
Generally, it is better to make small adjustments either way and see what effect this has on the opperation of the model.

WATERPROOFING TIPS

You should take steps to ensure that your ‘95S’ series model and its radio control equipment are adequately protected against the possibility of water damage.
Place your model’s receiver inside the included rubber bag (balloon) and tie the end off with a cable tie or similar.
Use the waterproofing tape provided to seal the hull as shown after you have connected the battery packs, before placing your ‘958’ series model on the water.
Ensure the propeller’s flexible shaft is properly lubricated (see below) as this too will reduce the possibility of water entering the hull during operation.

LUBRICATING THE PROPELLER SHAFT

Lubricating the ‘958’ series model’s flexible propeller shaft is vital to its smooth operation and lifespan. The lubricant also acts as a water seal, helping to prevent water from entering the hull via the propeller tube.
It is recommended that you lubricate the propeller shaft and tube every 2~3 hours of operation.

1. Use the 3mm Allen key provided and spanner to remove the screws and nuts that secure the propeller shaft support.
2. Next, remove the propeller nut, propeller and nylon washer. The propeller shaft support and flexible shaft shroud can now be pulled off the end of the flexible shaft.
3. Lubricate the flexible shaft and shroud with waterproof marine grease and re-install. Re-installation is the reverse of the disassembly procedure.

Note: Never apply grease to the ‘955’ series model’s brushless motor.

INSTALLING BATTERY PACKS IN ‘958’ SERIES MODELS

(Model should be placed on its supplied boat stand with the transmitter switched ‘ON’)

1. Remove the ‘958’ series model’s upper deck by unscrewing the knurled knob at its rear section.
2. Insert battery packs into the hull as shown below and secure with the hook and loop strap inside the hull.
3. Attach the battery pack’s connectors to the matching connectors in the model. Do not force them together – they only attach one way!
4. Re-position the upper deck, securing with the knurled knob. Finally, seal the upper deck with the waterproof tape provided.

Attention: Before replacing the ‘95S’ series model’s upper deck, check to ensure that the water-cooling tubing that connects to the motor is not obstructed or kinked, as this can cause the motor and speed controller to overheat and potentially burn out.
Note 1: ‘958’ Series models will typically run for around 7~8 minutes on fully charged Li-Po battery backs, although this will vary depending on the type and capacity of Li-Po packs you choose. As soon as you notice a drop off in speed you should bring the model back to shore or control may be lost.
Note 2: If you want to run your ‘95S’ series model for extended periods, you can purchase additional Li-Po battery packs. However, continuous running of the model will generate high heat levels which will lead to premature wear of the brushless motor. Once your Li-Po battery packs are exhausted, we recommend that you let the model cool down for 5~10 minutes before installing fresh ones.

TURN FINS

Your 9501S model features adjustable turn fins to aid in turning.
They are fitted and adjusted using the included Allen key. The optimum angle of adjustment is 45 degrees to the hull.

TRIM TABS

Your 9501S model features an adjustable trim tab. Trim tabs allow the boat to operate at its optimum hull-to-water configuration and enable you to adjust the hull for best operation in differing conditions from flat calm to choppy water. It can also be used to adjust when the boat leans (lists) to one side when moving and act like an adjustable wing which allows the boat to get up on plane at slower speeds, which is more efficient.
To adjust the trim tab, you only need to turn in or turn out the adjusting screw (using the included Allen key) and lock off the setting by tightening the included nut.
The more you screw in and extend the trim tab, the more the boat’s bow (nose) will be pushed towards the water.
Note: Trim tabs are factory-set level with the bottom of the hull, or zero degrees.
Adjustments should not be made no more than 3 degrees, or performance/control will be adversely affected. Make small adjustments at a time and see what effect this has on performance.

INSTALLING TRANSMITTER BATTERIES

NOTE: The transmitter is not water resistant and  should never come in contact with water.

1. Install four fresh “AA” batteries.Follow the  diagram located in the bottom of the battery tray for prope battery orientation.
2. Turn the transmitter “ON”. The battery light should glow bright RED.

RECEIVER CONNECTION DIAGRAM

Note: If ESC with BEC function, no need to connect battery with receiver.

TRANSMITTER/RECEIVER BINDING

The binding process effectively ties the transmitter and receiver together. Under normal circumstances, both items are supplied like this from the factory. If, however, you find that your transmitter and receiver are not bound(receiver’s red LED is on), you should do the following:

1. Switch “ON” the transmitter.
2. Switch “ON” the receiver by connecting battery to ESC, and ESC cord is plug into Receiver properly(Note:ESC has BEC function).
3. Press down the “BIND” button on the receiver, the receiver’s green LED will be on to indicate that binding has been successful and the receiver will now accept commands from the transmitter.

Note 1: During binding process, transmitter and receiver should be no more than one meter apart and no other similar devices should be within 10 meters.
Note 2: if the green light flashing, showing the binding failure, please do again as above indication.

GETTING READY TO USE YOUR ‘95S’ SERIES MODEL

(Model should be placed on its supplied boat stand)
Checking the radio system

1. Always turn the power “ON” to the transmitter before connecting the batteries with the ESC.
2. Plug the battery into the ESC plugs and listen for three continuous >Be<>Be<>Be< . (Signal noise of auto etected ESC)
3. Pull the throttle & motor rotate in anticlockwise direction, your motor is now armed and ready for operation.
4. Check the direction of the rudder, the trailing edge of the rudder should turn right when right input is given. Conversely, when left input is given, the trailing edge of the rudder should turn left.

AFTER USE

1. When you have finished using your ‘95S’ series model, you should first switch ‘OFF’ the model (disconnect the Li-Po battery packs), then switch ‘OFF’ your transmitter.

2. Remove all batteries from the transmitter and model.

3. Leave the ‘958’ series model’s upper deck off to allow moisture to evaporate.
   Also, temporarily remove the receiver from its rubber bag. Ideally, place the model in this way in a warm and dry place, like an airing cupboard, until you are sure it is dry and then store it away.

4. Periodically grease the ‘95S’ series model’s propeller shaft and tube as this will reduce wear and also help prevent water from entering the hull.
