Getting Started

jamara 059738 EP Brecter Truggy - fig 3

  • The battery pack has to be charged before use.
    1. Connect the charger to the AC Network and plug it into a grounding receptacle.
    The LED on the charger will indicate it is ready for charging.
    2. Connect the charger to the battery pack.
    A full charge process will take approx. 5 ~ 7 hours, depending on the battery’s capacity.
    LiPo version: Red LED = battery is charging, green LED = battery is fully charged.
    NiMh Version: Red LED = battery is charging, LED off = battery is fully charged.

  • Place 4 pieces of AA batteries into the transmitter.

  • Read the chapter on the usage of the transmitter and its controls carefully.

Battery warning:
Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged! Do not open it!
Do not dispose of it in fire! Do not mix old and new batteries!
Do not mix alkaline batteries, standard (carbon-zinc), or rechargeable batteries!
Rechargeable batteries are to be removed from the toy before being charged!
Rechargeable batteries are only to be charged under adult supervision!
The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited!
Danger!
Always disconnect the battery from the charger immediately after charging. Always disconnect the charger from the power supply immediately after disconnecting the battery. Inserting the rechargeable battery or charger after charging will result in damage to the battery, charger or the power supply (fire hazard).
Caution: Only applicable for LiPo batteries
Only charge suitable battery‘s with this charger. Suitable batteries are lithium polymer batteries with max. 2 cells, max. 7.4 V nominal voltage and max. 5000mAh. The battery must have a balancer plug type JST-XH. The charging of unsuitable batteries can cause damage to the charger and the batteries. Fire Hazard! The balancer plug of the charger is not allowed to get altered or soldered to a different balancer plug type!
Caution: Only applicable for NiMh batteries
Only charge suitable battery‘s with this charger. Suitable batteries are Nickel metal hydride batteries with max. 6 cells, max. 7,2 V nominal voltage and max. 2000mAh. The battery must have a Tamiya plug. The charging of unsuitable batteries can cause damage to the charger and the batteries. Fire Hazard!

  • Put the battery into the battery holder in the vehicle.
  • Now connect the battery to the speed control in the model. If the plug of the speed control and the battery do not match, then you will find a connection lead in your box
  • Turn the radio on and make sure all the trim buttons on the transmitter are in a neutral position. Read the chapter for the usage of the transmitter.
  • Keep the car in the air in case the motor turns at full power.
  • Switch the speed control on the On / Off switch.
  • We encourage you now to activate your receiver‘s built-in Failsafe unit. On delivery, it is turned off. (see chapter Fail Safe).
  • If this is your first RC car, we recommend driving it on a small test track to familiarise yourself with the control of the vehicle and the controls of the transmitter.

Danger.
Always switch off the model immediately after each use. Immediately after each use, the battery should be disconnected from the model. The battery can be deeply discharged by leaving it switched on accidentally or leaving it plugged in. The deep discharge causes the battery to lose power or can be damaged to such an extent that charging or discharging is no longer possible or the battery can self-ignite during charging or discharging (fire hazard). Never attempt to charge or discharge deep-discharge batteries.
The voltage of the LiPo batteries should never be under 6 volts and the NiMh battery never be under 4 Volts to avoid a depth discharge. The fully charged LiPo battery has a voltage of approx. 8,4 Volt and the NiMH battery 8,5 Volt. After usage, the intact battery has to be fully charged after a cooling phase of at least 10 min but not longer than 12 hrs. This is to avoid a deep discharge caused by a self-discharge. When not using or storing the batteries it has to be checked at least every three months for voltage (For LiPo min. 8 Volt, for NiMh min. 7,4 Volt.) or damage and if necessary charged or disposed of. jamara 059738 EP Brecter Truggy - fig 5

Attention!
Your vehicle has a pivot front suspension. This has a number of advantages. It is very robust and easy to maintain. The set-up of the car has been done so the drive shaft will not pop out. As with any model, screws and bolts can loosen during a break-in of the car. This can result in tolerance of the drive shaft. The drive shaft can then pop out if high pressure is applied. The inner ball screw will enable you to adjust the tolerance resulting in fine adjustments of the track width. For best results when setting up the pivot ball for the first time, please always adjust the upper and lower pivot in the same way. Fasten as far as the pivot can still be pulled up and down easily but not as far that it will pop out if you give full steering angle. The outer plastic socket screw is only used for securing of the steering knuckle. This should not be too tight, otherwise, the steering is not smooth and the handling can be adversely affected.  jamara 059738 EP Brecter Truggy - fig
6 Attention!
The front and rear bone pan absorbs most of the motor‘s energy and directs it to the front and rear axles. Therefore, the hexagon socket screws which hold the bone pans on the transmission output shafts must be checked and, if necessary, tightened before the first use and in regular intervals e.g 5-7 uses. Insert a rubber ring to the front and the back
connection cup. Please check the tolerance of the drive shaft. The tolerance should be approx. 1 – 2mm. You may have to move the connection cups to adapt the tolerance.  Therefore you need to loosen the grub screws to adapt the connection cup.
Afterwards tighten the grub screws. If not, the connection cups will move on the gear output shaft. That might cause the connection cup and the middle drive shaft to get damaged.

Binding the receiver to the transmitter
The receiver must be bound to the transmitter to ensure that the receiver will only react to signals from that transmitter. If you wish to re-bind the receiver with the transmitter  please proceed as follows:

  1. Put the battery into the model. Now connect the battery to the speed control in the model.
  2. Plug the binding plug (included) into the channel 3 socket on the receiver.
  3. Switch the receiver system on. Depending on your software version of your receiver indicates the different binding mode (instead of flashing lights for example LED or remains out completely). The binding process as such is in all versions. The receiver LED will begin to flash indicating that the receiver is in bonding mode.
  4. Press and hold down the binding button on the transmitter whilst switching it on.
  5. The transmitter will begin to flash indicating that the receiver is in bonding mode.
  6. Release the binding button on the transmitter and turn off the controller. Release the binding plug from the receiver.
  7. Switch the transmitter. And remove the binding wire. The system is bound at the next start.
  8. If the receiver fails to bond or does not function after bonding repeat the above procedure until a successful bonding is achieved. We encourage you now to activate your
    receiver‘s built-in Failsafe unit.

On delivery, it is turned off.
Mount the 2.4 GHz antenna vertically as shown in the diagram. Do not allow any metal object to come into contact with the antenna or to shield it as this will reduce the range.
How to setup the fail-safe function

  1. The instruction of the function
    The function of protection against losing control is mainly for r/c boats and cars and keeps them away from damage through throttle channel. When the receiver is out of control signal, the receiver of throttle will automatically return to the initial position which was set up before starting to avoid the error action :

  2. How to set the function
    a. Switch on the transmitter power and enter into the working condition
    b. Connect the receiver with power and enter into the working condition, the signal light on the receiver will blink all the time.
    c. Control the throttle of the transmitter and keeps the servo or ESC in the neutral position.
    d. Press the setting button, and the LED will flash for 3 seconds (see on pic. left).
    e. Release the setting button. The setting is finished.

  3. Testing
    a. Switch on the transmitter and enter the working condition.
    b. Contact the receiver with power and enter the working condition.
    c. Turn off the power of the transmitter.
    d. The throttle of the servo will be set automatically.
    e. Finish these steps above means the setting is ok. jamara 059738 EP

This regulator has two battery modes which will be set with jumpers. If you are using a Lipo battery this jumper has to be set to Lipo. This function protects the lipo battery against deep discharge and possible damage due to deep discharge! At a threshold voltage of 6 V total, the ESC switches auto. off to save the battery from under voltage. If you are using a NiMH battery this jumper has to be set to NiMh. The controller allows a voltage less than 6 V down to 4 V.
WARNING
Your controller is Splash-proof. Not waterproof.
Avoid puddles that are higher than the controller is installed in the vehicle. Do not get the model underwater. After each ride in the wet, the complete controller must be thoroughly dried and lubricated with the mechanical components. Damage caused by improper use overload or lack of maintenance is not covered under warranty.

Using your controller
To operate the ESC, proceed as follows:

  • Switch on your transmitter and ensure that the throw for the throttle channel is set to +/-100%.
  • Ensure that the receiver switch is in the OFF position and connect a battery pack ensuring the correct polarity (+ and -).
  • Switch the receiver system ON.
  • Once a battery is connected the system is ‘live‘ and extreme caution must be exercised to prevent injury due to the motor suddenly starting to turn.
  • Do not connect the battery pack until directly before operating the model and disconnect the pack immediately after use.
  • Conduct a range test before running the model for the first time. This test should be carried out at full, half, and low throttle, and if the servos jitter or make uncontrolled movements do not operate the model until the reason for the interference has been established and corrected.
  • When the vehicle is being driven forwards, pulling the throttle back past the neutral position will cause the vehicle to brake. To make the vehicle then reverse, the throttle stick must first be moved back to the neutral position for a short period and then the model will reverse.
  • If you want to disable the backward function just set the jumper to disable. If the jumper is set to enable the backward function is enabled.

Configuring your controller
The speed controller automatically calibrates itself to the transmitter signal. For this, the trim button of the gas channel at the transmitter must be set to neutral. Turn on the transmitter and then the speed controller. The speed controller signals the calibration with a short melody and is ready for use. In case the speed controller has no clear signal or the trim control is not set to neutral, the speed controller will not initialize.
When using the controller please observe the following safety note s:

  • Use only batteries which not exceed the max. operating voltage (2 Lipo cells | 6 NiCd/NiMh cells).
  • Allow the ESC to cool down completely before operating it again.
  • Remove the battery from the model when not in use.
  • Always switch off the receiver first and then the transmitter. On switching on, switch on the transmitter first and then the receiver.
  • Only use top-quality cables and connectors.
  • Make sure that the ESC is adequately cooled and never wrap the unit in anything that insulates.

Using Your ESC
Connecting the Receiver, Battery Pack, and Motor Connect the ESC, motor, receiver, battery, and servo according to the diagram.
Ensure that you observe the correct polarity of the battery pack. The red cable should be connected to the ‘+‘ Plus Pole and the black cable to the ‘-‘ Minus Pole. The ’#A’, ’#B’, and ’#C’ plugs are connected to the motor. The ‘SET‘ button initiates the programming mode.
The ESC should be plugged into the throttle channel of your receiver which is normally the channel
2. If in doubt, check your Radio- Control System’s instructions. The 3 Motor wires (#A’, ’#B’ und ’#C’) can now be connected, these connectors can be plugged in any order, and if the motor rotates in the wrong direction any 2 of the wires should be swapped.
Note: You can use the servo reverse function of your transmitter to reverse the motor direction but the ESC will have to be re-calibrated afterward. jamara 059738 EP Brecter Truggy - fig 14jamara 059738 EP Brecter Truggy - fig 15

Throttle range calibration
To ensure that your ESC operates correctly it has to be calibrated. During this process, the full throttle, stop, and brake positions will be set.
To calibrate the system, please proceed as follows:

  1. Switch ON the transmitter. The throw should be set to neutral. If the transmitter is fitted with an ABS function this must be de-activated.

  2. Press and hold down the ‘SET‘ button on the ESC and switch the receiver switch ON. The LED will begin to blink. If you fail to release the ‘SET’ button the ESC will enter ‘Programming’ mode. If this happens, you will have to switch the ESC off and start again to enter ‘Calibration’ mode.

  3. Parameters can be set here:
    The neutral point, Full throttle forwards, Full throttle reverse

  4. Ensure that the throttle control is in the neutral position and press the ‘Set‘ button. The green LED will flash once and the motor will omit a beep. Move the throttle control to the full throttle (forwards) position and press the green ‘Set‘ button. The green LED will flash twice and the motor will omit 2 bleeps. Move the throttle control to the full reverse position and press the ‘Set‘ button. The green LED will flash 3 times and the motor will omit 3 bleeps. 3 Seconds after this procedure has been followed, the motor is ready for use.

LEDs, errors, and protection
In normal use the LED will illuminate as follows:
a. No LED = the throttle control is in the neutral position
b. Red LED = the vehicle is driving forwards or in reverse.
c. Green LED = the vehicle is at full throttle either forwards or in reverse.
In certain circumstances the ESC will omit an acoustic tone to warn you of a problem:

  1. On switching on, the ESC will check the battery pack voltage and if it falls outside the correct values it will omit double signals followed by a 1-second pause: “beep-beep-, beep-beep-, beep-beep-”

  2.  If the ESC does not receive a signal from the transmitter it will omit a single signal followed by a 2-second pause: “beep-, beep-, beep-”
    The ESC has been equipped with a series of protective circuits to ensure safe operation:

  3. Low voltage cut-off:
    If the voltage drops below the set value for more than 2 seconds the ESC will switch the motor off. Please note that the motor cannot be started again if the voltage is below the chosen value per cell.
    Attention: The vehicle must still be switched off manually because otherwise the Battery is discharged further and can be damaged by Undervoltage.

  4. Temperature cut-off
    If the internal temperature of the ESC rises above 95°C for more than 5 seconds the motor will switch off. After the ESC switches off it has to cool down before operating again.
    Otherwise, the ESC will be damaged. This function should not be disabled!

  5. Signal loss
    If the signal is lost for more than 0.2 seconds the ESC will switch the motor off.

Programming the ESC

1. Drive Mode Forwards, break on
2. Drag Brake Force 0%
3. Low Voltage OFF

4. Start Mode soft
5. Brake Max. 25%

This ESC is fitted with many useful functions to help you to be able to make the most of the various options they are explained below. Please use the programming table shown on page 6 together with these explanations to program your ESC quickly and effectively:

  1. Drive mode:
    If option 1 is selected in Drive mode, the vehicle will only drive forwards and the brake is active which makes this mode the best choice for racing. In mode 2 the vehicle can be driven forwards or in reverse and the brake is also active. This mode is useful for general use and training.
    Note:
    When option 2 is selected, moving the throttle control back past the neutral point will initially activate the brake. If the throttle control is then moved back to the neutral position briefly the ESC will switch over to reverse. Moving the ESC forwards will make the vehicle drive forwards regardless of whether it was braking or moving in reverse.

  2. Drag Brake force:
    In this option, the drag braking force can be set. The value is set as a percentage and the values are from 0 to 40%

  3. Low voltage:
    In this option, you can set the low voltage cut-off value. The cut-off voltage can be set between
    3.4 and 2.6 Volts per cell. Once the cut-off voltage has been reached the motor will stop.

  4. Start Mode:
    With this option, you can choose how the vehicle will accelerate when full throttle is applied and you can set the value between ‘Soft‘ and ‘Very Aggressive. Please note that if you select one of the 2 ‘Aggressive’ modes you will need to have batteries with a very low internal resistance otherwise the voltage will drop due to the high current draw and the motor may stutter. Also, ensure that your motor and gearing are capable of carrying high loads.

  5. Brake Max.:
    The ESC is equipped with a braking system that works proportionally to the throttle control.
    This means that the further the throttle control is moved rearwards the more braking force will be applied. A higher value here will mean that the vehicle will brake harder but more strain will be placed on the components, for example, the gearing.

Menu structure

jamara 059738 EP Brecter Truggy - fig 16

Important note:
In addition to the red LED blinking, the motor will omit an acoustic signal. After every change to the values, the ESC must be switched off to store the values. The new settings will not be effective until the ESC is re-started.

Before each use make sure to check all bolt connections and cable connections. Your vehicle has a pivot front suspension. This has a number of advantages. It is very robust and easy to maintain. The set-up of the car has been done so the drive shaft will not pop out. As with any model, screws and bolts can loosen during a break-in of the car. This can result in tolerance of the drive shaft. The drive shaft can then pop out if high pressure is applied. The inner ball screw (item No.: 505081) will enable you to adjust the tolerance resulting in fine adjustments of the track width. For best results when setting up the pivot ball for the first time, please always adjust the upper and lower pivot in the same way. Fasten as far as the pivot can still be pulled up and down easily but not as far that it will pop out if you give a full steering angle. The outer plastic socket screw (item No.: 505080) is only used for securing the steering knuckle. This should not be too tight, otherwise, the steering is not smooth and the handling can be adversely affected.

Negative/positive camber front and rear
You can adjust the front camber by turning one of the inner screws on the pivot front suspension. Turn both screws equally inwards or outwards to adjust the track width.
To adjust the rear camber, turn the rear track rod.
A Negative camber:
Better grip on terrain, as the edge of the wheels, stem into the ground allowing higher cornering speed. We recommend approx. imately 1.5 degrees negative front and an average of 0 degrees to the rear. An excessive negative camber angle can deteriorate the ride quality.
B Positive camber:
A Positive camber should be avoided in your vehicle due to poorer ride quality.jamara 059738 EP Brecter Truggy - fig 28

Front caster high/low
Less caster: Less caster has worse directional stability, but provides better steering on corner entries.
High caster: A higher caster has better directional stability, but can result in worse corner turn-in.jamara 059738 EP Brecter Truggy - fig

Damper angle soft/firm front and rear
To adjust the damper angle, remove the screw on the suspension arm, adjust the angle and tighten it again.
Soft = More direct steering
Firming = Less direct steeringjamara 059738 EP Brecter Truggy - fig

Spring tension hard/soft front and rear
To adjust the spring preload, pull the spring down a little and insert the desired clips. Harder:
More direct response of the suspension but reduced grip.
Softer:
Less direct response of the chassis but more grip.jamara 059738 EP Brecter

Safety precautions for battery

Because of the high power compactivity (up to 150 Wh/kg), the cells are quite dangerous and need special care!
The company Jamara excludes explicitly, all types of liability for damages, that can occur when using the Lithium-PolymerCells inadequate.

  • When using the battery incorrect there is a risk of getting fire or acid injuries.
  • Overcharging, too high power, or discharging at a low level destroys the cell.
  • Protect from mechanical stress (squeezing, pushing, bending, drilling).
  • Never open or cut batteries, do not throw them into the fire, and keep away from children.
  • Handle damaged or leaking batteries with care. Injuries or damages to the product can occur.
  • Under no circumstance short-circuit the device and always watch out for correct polarity.
  • Protect batteries from heat above 65 °C, and mount them away from hot objects (for example exhaust pipes).
  • Before storing batteries (for example in the winter) charge the battery. Do not store in fully charged or in non charged state!
  • The contents of the cell are harmful to the skin and eye.
  • If the content comes into contact with skin, clean with plenty of water and take off moistened clothes.
  • If the content comes into contact with the eyes, clean with plenty of water and consult a doctor.

If the cell overheats, swells, burns or smoke is coming from it, do not touch it under any circumstances. Keep away at a safe distance and prepare adequate extinguishing agents such (No water explosion, well dry sand, fire extinguishers, fire blanket, and saltwater).
