- Status LEDs
Charging a battery
- Plug the power cord of the charger into a suitable socket. The LEDS light up green and indicate that the charger is ready for charging.
- Now connect the empty battery to the charger. 7.4V 2S batteries to the 3 pin connector or 11.1V 3S batteries to the 4 pin connector. Do not use force and pay attention to reverse polarity. The LEDs change to red after a few seconds and indicate that the battery cells are charging. Attention:
When connecting a 2S battery, only the first 2 LEDs (Cell1-2) change to red, LED 3 (Cell 3) will remain green. When 3S batteries are connected, all LEDs are red (Cell1-3).
As soon as a the battery cell is full, the corresponding LED changes to green. Because the cells are charged individually in a balanced way, it is possible that one cell is fully charged earlier than the others. Always leave the battery on the charger until all connected cells are fully charged (green) to allow the charger to balance your battery
Detecting a full battery.
When you connect a full battery to the charger, the LEDs will turn red for a
few seconds and then turn green again. This means that the battery is already
fully charged.
Detecting a defective battery.
If the LEDs remain green when an empty battery is connected, there is a defect
in the battery (cell defect or deep discharge). In this case, immediately
disconnect the battery from the charger and use another battery.
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 da-mage to the battery, charger or the power supply
(fire hazard).
Inserting batteries into the transmitter Put 4 AA Batteries into the
Transmitter
Battery warning:
Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged!
Do not open!
Do not dispose of 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!
-
Put the battery into the battery holder in the vehicle. Make sure that the battery holder is scored properly with the 2 included clips for the battery holder.
-
Now connect the battery to the speed control in the model. If the plug of the speed control and 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 neutral position. Read the chapter for usage of the transmitter.
-
Keep the car in the air in case that 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 car, we recommend to drive it on a small test track to familiarize 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. 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 volt and the NiMh battery never under 4 Volt
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 battery´s 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.
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 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 resul-
ting 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 (item No.: 505080) 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.
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.

If the wheels do not point straight forward even though the steering wheel on
the transmitter is in neutral, you can adjust it with the trim button on the
transmitter. Trim L/R = steering
Should the wheels rotate forward or backward, even though no command was given
through the transmitter, then also the throttle needs to be trimmed on the
transmitter.
Trim V/R = forward/backward
Insert the batteries
- Remove the battery compartment cover.
- Fit the 4 x AA batteries, observe the correct polarity.
- Replace the battery hatch
Binding the receiver to the transmitter
In the delivery state, the transmitter is already bound to the receiver. If
the model does not respond to the transmitter, try bind-ing it again.
For this purpose, proceed as follows:
-
Put the battery into the model.
Now connect the battery to the speed control in the model. -
Plug the binding plug (included) into the channel 3 socket on the receiver.
-
Switch the receiver system on. Depending on your soft-ware 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.
-
Press and hold down the binding button on the transmitter whilst switching it on.
-
The transmitter will begin to flash indicating that the receiver is in bonding mode.
-
Release the binding button on the transmitter and turn off the controller. Release the binding plug from the receiver.
-
Switch of the transmitter. And remove the binding wire. The system be bound at the next start .
-
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 an-tenna or to shield it as this
will reduce the range.
How to setup the fail safe function
-
The instruction of function
The function of protection of 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 set up before starting to avoid the error action : -
How to set the function
- Switch on the transmitter power and enter into the working condition
- Connect the receiver with power and enter into the working condition, the signal light on receive will blink all the time.
- Control the throttle of transmitter and keeps the servo or ESC in the neutral position.
- Press the setting button, the LED will be flash for 3 seconds (see on pict. left).
- Release the setting button. The setting is finished.
-
Testing
- Switch on the transmitter and enter the working condition.
- Contact the receiver with power and enter the working condition.
- Turn off the power of transmitter.
- The throttle of servo will be set automatically.
- Finish these steps above means the setting is ok.

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.
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 autom.
off to safe 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 un-der water. After each ride in the wet, the complete
controller must be thoroughly dried and lubricate 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 in the middle.
- 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 immediate 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 is in the middle. 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 notes:
- 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 initiate the programming mode.
The ESC should be plugged into the throttle channel of your receiver which is
normally 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 recalibrated afterwards.
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. There
are 3 occasions when the unit must be calibrated.
- Before using the ESC for the first time
- If you change to a new transmitter
- If the neutral point or servo throw is changed within your transmitter
To calibrate the system, please proceed as follows:
-
Ensure that the receiver is switched OFF and switch ON the transmitter. If you are using a Futaba transmitter. The throw should be set to neutral. If the transmitter is fitted with an ABS function this must be de-activated.
-
Press and hold down the ‘SET‘ button on the ESC and switch the receiver switch ON. This will switch the ESC into Calibration’ mode and the LED will begin to blink. If you fail to release the ‘SET’ button as soon as the LED blinks, the ESC will enter ‘Programming’ mode. If this happens, you will have to switch the ESC off and start again to enter ‘Calibration’ mode.
-
Parameters can be set here:
- Neutral point
- Full throttle forwards
- Full throttle reverse
The procedure for setting these 3 points is outlined below:
-
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.
LED’s, errors and protection
In normal use the LED will illuminate as follows:
- If the throttle control is in the neutral position, neither the red or green LED will illuminate.
- The red LED will illuminate if the vehicle is driving forwards or in reverse. If the vehicle is braking, the red LED will flash rapidly. When the car moves forward, the red LED solidly lights; the green LED also lights up when the throttle stick is at the top position (100% throttle).
- The green LED will illuminate when 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:
- 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-”
- If the ESC does not receive a signal from the transmitter it will omit single signal followed by a 2 second pause: “beep-, beep-, beep-”
The ESC has ben equipped with a series of protective circuits to ensure safe operation:
-
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. -
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! -
Signal loss
If the signal is lost for more than 0.2 seconds the ESC will switch the motor off.

This ESC is fitted with many useful functions and 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:
-
Drive mode:
If option 1 is selected in Drive mode, the vehicle will only drive forwards and the brake is active which make 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. -
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% -
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. -
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 that 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 the high loads. -
Brake Max.:
The ESC is equipped with a braking system which 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.
To avoid the programming procedure with the set up bottom, you can all so use the separately available Program card (Ordo. 08 1454).
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 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 full steering angle. The outer plastic socket screw (item No.: 505080) 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 ad-versely affected.

Setting points
toe-in \ toe-out
- A Toe-in: The responsiveness of the steering is less direct and the vehicle tends to oversteer, but it has better directional stability.
- B Toe-out: More direct steering response and understeer, but has a worse directional stability. Turn the Turnbuckle shorter = Toe-out Turn the Turnbuckle more = Toe-in
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 degree 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.
Front caster high / low
Less caster: Less caster has a worse directional stability, but provides
a better steering on corner entries.
High caster: A higher caster has a better directional stability, but can result in worse corner turn-in.
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 steering
Spring tension hard / soft
front and rear
To adjust the spring preload, pull the spring down a little and insert the
desired clip´s.
-
Harder:
More direct response of the suspensi-on but reduced grip. -
Softer:
Less direct response of the chassis but more grip.

Disposal restrictions
Batteries and accumulators must not be disposed of in domestic waste. You are
obliged to dispose of batteries (seperate collection) appropriately. After use
you can return batteries free of charge to the retail store. As batteries
contain substances that can be irritant, can cause allergy and are highly
reactive, separate collections and proper recycling is important to the
environment and to your health. If the batteries are marked with a chemical
symbol Hg, Cd or Pb below the crossed-out waste bin on wheels it refers to
that more than 0.0005% of mercury (Hg), more than 0.002% of cadmium (Cd) or
more than 0.004% Lead (Pb) is included.
