**** You have purchased an RTR model, which means it should be ready for immediate use after charging all batteries. You need to check the car, electronics, and all plastic parts after each use to make sure no parts are damaged. Also, all the moving parts must be checked for their clearance, bolts, and screws that are tight.

Getting Started

• 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 LiPo charge process will take approx. 5 ~ 7 hours, and a NiMh will take 6 ~ 8 hours.
  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.

WARNING:
If the LED starts to flash when you connect the battery, disconnect the Battery immediately from the charger. A flashing LED signals a defective battery. Defective batteries must not be charged, there is an increased risk of fire!

Battery warning:
Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged! Do not open it!
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!
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 battery‘s are lithium polymer battery‘s 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 battery‘s can cause damage to the charger and the battery. 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 battery‘s are Nickel-metal hydride battery‘s with max. 6 cells, max. 7,2 V nominal voltage and max. 2000mAh. The battery must have a Tamiya plug. The charging of unsuitable battery‘s can cause damage to the charger and the batteries. Fire Hazard! The charging connection of the charger is not allowed to get altered or soldered to a different balancer plug type!

• Put the battery into the battery holder in the vehicle. Make sure that the battery holder is secured 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 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 volt and the NiMh battery never be 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 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.

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 (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.

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. Afterward, 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.

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, and observe the correct polarity.
• Replace the battery hatch

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 binding 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 binding mode.
6. Release the binding button on the transmitter and turn off the controller. Release the binding plug from the receiver.
7. Switch of the transmitter. And remove the binding wire. The system be 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 set up the fail-safe function

1. The instruction of 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 receive 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.

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 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 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 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 initiates 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 re-calibrated afterward.

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:

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Parameters can be set here:
   • Neutral point
   • Full throttle forwards
   • Full throttle reverse
   The procedure for setting these 3 points is outlined below:

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 emit 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:
a. If the throttle control is in the neutral position, neither the red or green LED will illuminate.
b. 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).
c. The green LED will illuminate when the vehicle is at full throttle either forwards or in reverse.
In certain circumstances the ESC will emit 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:
   1. 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
   choosen value per cell.
   2. 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!

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

Important note:
In addition to the red LED blinking, the motor will emit 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. Please note that program options 5 and above (Professional settings) are slightly different in that they will be indicated by a long blink first followed by short blinks.
For example:
Long blink + one short = Program option 6
Long blink + two short = Program option 7
Long blink + three short = Program option 8, etc.

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:

1. 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.

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.
To avoid the programming procedure with the setup botton, you can all so use the separately available Programmcard (Ord. No. 08 1454).

Connecting the programming card
To connect the programming card to the speed controller, disconnect the fan cable (1) from the connector between the motor cables. Connect the cable to the programming
card, making sure that the cable is connected correctly (see connection diagram, Fig. 2). Be sure to reinsert the fan cable after completing the programming.

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 losen 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 of the steering knuckle. This should not be too tight, otherwise, the steering is not smooth and the handling can be adversely affected.

• The LED´s are not connected on delivery under certain circumstances.

• The LED connector is stored in the receiver box.
• Open the receiver box and take out the LED connector and the receiver.

• Put the LED connector into the receiver to channel 3 (CH3). The black line (minus) belongs on the right side.
• Put the receiver and the wiring back to the receiver box and take care to install the wiring properly. Do not squeeze the wiring.
• Close again the receiver box with the two pins.

– If you activate the model now, the LED´s are active.
– Suspension Settings
The following settings are possible: 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 worse directional stability.

Negative camber / positive camber front and rear

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.

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.

Spring tension hard/soft front and rear

Harder: More direct response of the suspension but reduced grip.
Softer: Less direct response of the chassis but more grip.
Damper angle soft/firm front and rear
Soft: More direct steering Firming: Less direct steering Spring deflexion more / less front and rear Less: Less ground clearance and lower center of gravity.
More: More ground clearance and higher center of gravity.
