Please use only special battery chargers and batteries. Get advise in a model building store. Never store your batteries when they are fully charged.

Keep batteries / rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children and pets, as they can inadvertently swallow the batteries / accumula-tors. In this case, immediately consult a doctor!
Expired or damaged batteries can cause burns in contact. If skin or eyes get in contact with the electrolyte, rinse immediately with clean water and seek medical attention. Use suitable protective gloves when disposing of the defective battery.
If you notice any signs of smell, discoloration, excessive heating or deformation of the battery, disconnect the battery immediately from the charger or the consumer. Dispose of the battery!
Conventional alkaline batteries (1.5V) are intended for single use only and must then be properly disposed of.
Dispose of empty batteries or defective batteries enivronmetally correctly at the authorized collection points. Disposal over household waste is prohibited!
Batteries must not become moist or wet. Also avoid the formation of condensation water.
Never expose the batteries, the charger or the model to adverse environmental conditions (eg wetness, high or low ambient tempera-ture, sources of ignition or open fire, dust, vapors, solvents)!
Also avoid strong contamination as well as excessive mechanical stress on the battery, never tug on the connection cables!
Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries in one unit at the same time! Use only batteries or only rechargable batteries.
If no brand-new batteries are used for the power supply of the transmitter, pay attention to a sufficient remaining capacity (battery tes-ter).
When using rechargeable batteries instead of batteries, the lower voltage (batteries = 1.5V, rechargeable batteries = 1.2V) and the lower capacity of rechargeable batteries must be used with a reduction in the operating time and so on. Also with range problems.
Always replace the complete set of batteries, not just individual cells. Always use batteries of the same type and manufacturer.
Do not mix batteries with different charge levels. The weaker batteries / rechargeable batteries with lower capacity could be deep-dischar-ged and leak.
When inserting batteries or rechargeable batteries into the battery holder, ensure correct polarity.

The load must never be unattended. In case of exceptional heat in the battery or deformation, immediately disconnect the mains plug!
Never charge the battery on a combustible surface!
Maintenance and regular checks
For safety reasons, LiPo batteries have a minimum discharge voltage that should not be fallen short of. The electronic speed controller is equipped with a built-in low voltage detection that gives the driver a warning signal when LiPo batteries have reached their minimum voltage (discharge voltage). It is the driver‘s responsibility to stop driving immediately to prevent the battery from discharging below the safety limit of its minimum voltage.
The low voltage detection on the speed controller is only one part of the extensive features for the safe operation of LiPo batteries in your model. It is extremely important that you, the user, also follow all battery and charger manufacturer‘s instructions for safe charging, operation and storage. Make sure you understand how to use your LiPo batteries. If you have any questions about the use of LiPo batte-ries, please contact your local dealer or the battery manufacturer. As a reminder, all batteries should be recycled at the end of their life.

LiPo-Balance-Charger

After connecting the charger to a socket (230V), the LEDs light up green (charger ready for operation).
When the battery is connected to the 2S or 3S socket, the LEDs light up red, the charging process is running.
When the battery is full, when only the green LEDs light up, the battery can be disconnected.
The charger is now disconnected from the mains.
The charging current is about 1 A. A LiPo battery with 3000 mAh has a charging time of about 3 hours.

General safety instructions

Regularly check the tooth flank play between the motor pinion and the main gear wheel in order to ensure good force transmission and to avoid damage.
Check that all screws are firmly seated, as they can be released by impacts and vibrations.
Tires should not show cracks or damage.
Check the connections for correct contact and damage.

Water Resistant
The MODSTER Dasher is designed so that the motor, regulator and servo are splash-proof, ie can be operated under humid conditions. Splash-proofed means only that a device can withstand water sprays, but it must not be immersed in water, or exposed to excessive humidity or strong rain for a long time. The vehicle must never be immersed completely in the water. Driving in wet conditions also requires additional maintenance. The transmitter is not splashproof. Please protect it from rain and water. After driving, remove all water and dirt from the vehicle and completely dry the vehicle. Ball bearings, metal parts and swing pins must be lubrica-ted after driving in a humid environment.

Information

The model is an all-wheel-drive RC car chassis with a built-in brushless electric motor and a 2.4 GHz receiver, a programmable electronic dri-ving controller and a steering servo. The RC model is pre-mounted ready for use and comes with a remote control transmitter. The model is intended for both indoor and outdoor usage. The chassis is light and torsion-resistant. The encapsulation protects the transmission from dirt and stones. The electronic speed controller is optimally tuned to the engine and impresses with its excellent starting behavior, acceleration and constant running characteristics. The powerful steering servo has a high positioning torque and high positioning speed with maximum stability. A servo saver also protects the servo against violent impacts against the wheels.

Never use chemical cleansers, as these could damage the sensitive electronics and plastics.

Start-up of the Model
The model is already ready for use and can be put into operation immediately after charging the transmitter battery and the batteries. The drive and control components are mounted and wired, the connection between the transmitter and the receiver is self-acting, after each power-up.

Charging the battery
Please observe the notes on page 16-18! Charge the battery outside of the model to avoid overheating during charging. The charging cable of the batteries is equipped with a polarity protected plugging system.

ATTENTION!
Before the battery is allowed to be reused after charging, it must also be fully cooled.

Insert the loaded battery into the model
Loosen the slot of the battery bay and open it
Place the battery in the battery holder
For a tight fit of the battery put some moss into the battery cradle
Close the battery and secure it with the split pin
If the model is not used, the battery must always be disconnected and removed from the model
Use only suitable batteries!

Make a visual inspection of the model:

Are the wheel nuts and screw connections tightened?
Is the servo control lever firmly seated on the servo shaft?
Is the battery loaded and fixed in the holder?
Are the rotating and moving parts running-smoothly?
Are the cables laid and secured so that they can not get into moving parts?
Are the ring nuts of the spring preload the same on both sides of an axle?

Check the range of the remote control transmitter and the control functions

ATTENTION! Never operate the model with faulty remote control!
Range of the remote control transmitter To ensure safe control of the model, you should check the function and range of the RC system before every first start and especially after a crash. For this purpose it is sufficient to test the function of the steering servo. If the remote control does not function properly, check the charge status of the transmitter and receiver battery and renew the connection between transmitter and receiver.

Adjust the model so that the wheels hang freely in the air. Due to the static friction of the tires on the ground, the steering would react slowly.
Move about 50m away from the jacked-up model.

Perform the steering test as described below:

Steering control function

Place the steering wheel and its trim in the neutral position.
Turn on the transmitter.
Connect the battery to the controller and turn the receiver on.
Turn the steering wheel to the right and left. The wheels of the model must also strike right and left. If the wheels turn in the opposite direction, bring the reverse switch for the steering function on the transmitter to the other position.
When you release the steering wheel, the wheels must turn back to the straight forward position.
If the wheels in the neutral position of the steering wheel do not remain exactly straight, correct the position on the trim control for the steering function (channel 1).
The steering wheel end stops should cause the end stops to the right / left of the steering!

Driving control function

Replace the throttle / brake lever and trim in the neutral position.
The engine must not start in the neutral position of the remote control lever!
If necessary, stop the engine with the trim on the transmitter.
Press the throttle / brake lever on the remote control forward. The speed of rotation of the motor should change steadily.
Now move the remote control lever backwards to check the brake and reverse speed.
If the wheels rotate in the wrong direction, correct the direction of rotation with the servo reverse switch on the transmitter.

Driving
Observe the safety instructions for driving in this manual!Familiarize yourself with the driving behavior of the model:

Stand behind the model and first steer it away. The response of the model to the control is then the same as when you are sitting at the wheel itself.
Then let the model drive towards you. The response direction is now mirror-inverted to the control direction.
Begin now with simple driving exercises by driving as much as possible, even circles or an „8“.
Use light, unattached pylons as boundaries and reversing marks to pinpoint a course with changing driving directions, thus training the cornering.
Increase driving speed gradually and observe driving behavior. Always keep direct visual contact with the model.

Setup

Adjust the damping
With the factory setting of the model you can easily gain first experience. With increasing driving practice, however, you will want to make individual adjustments step by step, depending on the route management and the subsoil structure. This is possible, among other things, by changing the spring pretension and by changing the angle of attack of the shock absorbers. There is no universal specification for the spring preload and the angle of attack of the dampers. The tuning of the dampers has a decisive influence on the driving behavior of the model. This applies not only to the actual damping of ground irregularities, but also to the steering behavior via the „grip“ of the individual axles. Thus, for example, one speaks of „overriding“ or „under- steering“ driving behavior.

Under-steering driving behavior:
The model has too much traction of the rear axle or too little traction of the steered front axle and is difficult to control in curves. It „pushes“ over the front wheels to the outside. As a countermeasure, the front damping should be set softer (or the rear damping harder).

Over-steering driving behavior:
The model has too little traction on the rear axle or too much traction on the steered front axle and „pulls“ into the curve, the tail tends to break out. As a countermeasure, the damping should be adjusted softer in the rear point (or harder in the front).

Construction of damping:
The spring elements of the suspension consist of a linear spiral spring with an oil pressure shock absorber in the center. The spiral springs are supported at the top against a knurled nut on the outer tube of the shock absorber and a plate at the lower end of the piston rod. The four dampers are attached to the lower crossmembers and to the „damper bridge“ on the differential housings.

Check the shock absorbers:

Place the model on a flat surface and press it all the way down. After release, the model should not fully decompress by its own weight. The remaining spring travel provides uneven terrain for spring return and better ground contact of the individual wheels.
Lift the model on an axle and drop it. The model is not allowed to spring in as far as the mechanical stop and only spring back once wi-thout swinging!
Check the damping of the other axis in the same way.

Angle of Attack
The spring elements can be converted into other pivot points both at the top, at the shock absorber bridge and at the lower transverse link. In this way, the model is also raised / lowered. However, by changing the shock absorbers, the angle at which the force influences the damper also changes. This affects the response of the damping.

At a flat angle of attack, the chassis must lower more deeply before the damping is activated. In other words, the suspension is soft to the touch and becomes harder and harder. One speaks of high „progressivity“. If you take the extreme case when the damper is perpendicular to the direction of deflection (= lowest angle, 0 °) of the wheel, no force is applied and the shock absorber remains unaffected.
At a steeper angle of attack, the progressivity is correspondingly lower, that is, the vertical relative movement of the chassis is introduced directly into the suspension; The damping effect begins earlier. In the most extreme case, if the damper is parallel to the direction of deflection (= steepest angle of incidence, 90 °) of the wheel, the force is applied directly and the shock absorber instantly unfolds its full effect.

Spring Preload
The spring preload can be finely adjusted with aid of the knurled nuts depending on the substrate and the driving mode. The spring preload is used to change the ground clearance of the model and the return speed of the shock absorber after compression. The spring preload has no influence on the spring hardness.

Turning the knurled nut downwards increases the spring preload, twisting upwards relieves the spring.
A lower spring preload causes the chassis to sink deeper under its own weight, which reduces ground clearance.
A higher pretension boosts the chassis.
The more uneven the terrain, the higher the ground clearance on both axles should be chosen in order to avoid placing the chassis on the ground.
A high ground clearance on both axles results in a stronger lateral inclination of the model and thus more violent load change reactions.
Lower ground clearance on the front axle results in a more agile steering of the vehicle.
Spring preload and mounting points of the shock absorbers of an axle must be the same on the right and on the left!

Tuning
For intermediate drivers there are pursuing setup-steps for damping. In this way you have the possibility to change the damping by changing the damper springs with harder / softer springs or with progressive winding. It is also possible to use a lower / higher viscosity damper oil or a different hole size / number of piston plates.

Setting the track
The track levers located on the steering knuckles are attached to a tie rod (a) via ball joints. These tie rods are, in turn, connected to the steering plate (b) via ball-and-socket heads. If the steering plate is moved to the right and left, the wheels also swing to the right and left. A lever (c) engages the steering plate. The lever is deflected by the servo arm (e) of the steering servo via the steering linkage (d). Due to the elastic connection of the two levers, the servo is protected against impacts on the wheels during the travel (servo saver), by the force effect on the wheels is cushioned and not directly via the steering linkage into the servo is initiated.

Track
The track indicates the orientation of the wheels relative to the vehicle longitudinal axis (direction of travel). If the wheels of an axle in the stand are not parallel to the longitudinal axis, but point inwards at the front, this is called a toe-in. Correspondingly, the toe-out wheels, which point outwards at the front. During the straight-ahead travel, the wheels are pushed apart by the rolling resistance at the front. To compensate, a toe-in can be adjusted on the wheels of the stationary vehicle. The position of the wheels can be achieved with a change in the length of the tie rods (a). This change in length (track setting) is made by means of tensioning screws in the right and left tie rod.

Toe-in
Turning the tension screw counter-clockwise (to the rear) lengthens the tie rod, the wheels are pushed outwards to the outside. A toe-in during the ride results in a better lateral guidance of the tire and a more direct response of the steering. Driving with toe-in makes the tire inner side wear more quickly.

MODSTER-Dasher-V2-Elektro-Brushless-Monster-Truck-10

Toe-out
Turning the tensioning screw clockwise (forwards) shortens the tie rod, the wheels are pulled inwards at the rear. The adjustment of a toe-in will result in a softer response of the steering. Driving with toe-out lets the tire outside wear out faster.

Adjustment of the camber
The wheels are fastened between the upper and lower transverse link. A change in the length of the upper crossbar causes a change in the inclination of the wheel plane. The wheel camber indicates the inclination of the wheel plane against the vertical. If the upper edges of the wheels of an axle are inclined inwards (toward the center of the vehicle), this is referred to as a negative fall. An outwardly inclined, V-shaped position of the wheels is called a positive fall. Negative camber at the front axle increases the lateral guiding forces of the wheels during bends, the steering is more direct. The steering forces are reduced and the driving behavior quieter. At the same time, the axial bearing clearance is switched off since the wheel is pressed in the axial direction onto the steering knuckle. Negative camber at the rear axle reduces the inclina-tion of the vehicle tail to break out in curves. By setting a negative camber, the contact surface of the tire displaces inwards, which increases the wear on the tire inner sides.

Adjustment of the camber at the front and rear axle
Adjusting the camber is done by means of the tensioning screws (arrow) in the upper crossbars. Turning the tensio-ning screw clockwise (forwards) shortens the crossbar, the wheel is pulled upwards in the direction of „negative fall“. Turn the tensioning screw counterclockwise (after Rear) ex-tends the crossbar, the wheel is pushed upwards outwards towards „positive fall“.

Maintainance

Checking the backlash
The model is ready to run and can be put into operation directly. For optimum force transmission, however, occasionally the backlash bet-ween motor pinion and main gear wheel should be checked. Only if the gear wheels mesh easily and without play, the engine power is fully utilized and premature wear is avoided. The motor shaft and the drive shafts to the front and rear axles must be oriented exactly parallel and the distance must be optimally adjusted. Put a paper strip between the engine sprocket and the main gear wheel, and then rotate it manually.

If the paper strip tears when it is pulled in, the distance is too small. As a result, tensions in the drive train as well as premature wear of the bearings in the clutch and the engine can occur.
If the distance is too large, the motorcycle can slip through. The result is jerking in the drive and premature wear of the gears.
To correct the distance, loosen the motor retaining screw and move the motor accordingly.

Regular Controls

Please check:

The model and the transmitter for visible damage
The tight fit of all screw connections; In operation, parts and screw connections can be caused by motor vibrations and solve vibrations
The smooth operation of all rotating / moving parts;
Plug connections on contact and cable for safe installation
The fixed seat of the articulation levers and of the servo arm on the servo shaft
The charge state of the transmitter and the batteries
The symmetrical adjustment of the dampers of an axis
The condition of the tires

Clean the cooling fins of the electric motor thoroughly.

Maintainance & Caring
The moving parts must be lubricated after each cleaning. Leaking oil / grease must be thoroughly removed as dust can accumulate very well. Maintenance work on the engine You should not carry out any maintenance work on the engine yourself but leave it to the experts if you do not have the appropriate knowled-ge and skills. If you want to work on the engine yourself, you have to remove it first. Please pay attention to the order of the connections for re- installation! Check the running behavior and the bearings of the engine by turning on the motor shaft. If necessary, disassemble the engine and carefully clean the parts and bearings using a commercially available brake cleaner. Lubricate bearings with ball bearing oil
