model. First switch off the model then the transmitter. Never operate your
model beyond sight. Both the maximum visibility as well as the max. range of
your model will depend on many factors such as weather, location and
interfering frequencies. Therefore, before each use perform a range test with
a second person securely holding the model and also check how the model reacts
if there is a signal failure e.g. when empty transmitter batteries are
installed.
- without function
- Steering Wheel It proportionally operartes the right and left steering control of the model.
- Throttle lever (throttle/break)
- Steering Trim It is applied to adjust the center trim of the steering channel.
- Throttle Trim
- Steering Reverse Switch It allows yout to electronically switch the direction of steering servo travel.
- Power Indicator When switching on, it flashes sharply as the system is seeking the receiver. When battery power is enough, the power indicator is on. When the power indicator flashes slowly, your are required to replace the new batteries.
- Power ON/OFF – It is applied to switch on or switch off radio power.

Running your car
- To run your car, switch on the radio controller. and then the receiver. Press the ON/OFF switch for 2 – 3 seconds to switch the model on or off. Your car is automatically bound with the radio controller when both are switched on.
- To stop your car, switch off the receiver first, and then the radio controller.
- Active low-voltage cut-off As soon as the voltage of the batteries falls below 6.3V, the model is switched off. Please note that the model cannot be restarted until the batteries are fully charged.
Running your car
Ensure good steering performance.
- To keep the car run straight in line, do not move the control wheel. (Keep it at centre)
- Turn it left to allow your vehicle turn to left.
- Turn it right to allow your vehicle turn to right.
Throttle lever
- To stop running your car, release the throttle lever to neutral.
- Pull the throttle lever backward, the car will go forward.
- Pushing the lever a second time activates the reverse feature.
- During the car moves forward, quickly push the lever to the front to stop it. Adjust the angle of the throttle lever can adjust the forward speed of the car.
Steering trim
Gently pull the trigger to allow your car to run slowly. Meantime, tune the
steering trim to allow the front wheels to be
aligned.
Throttle trim
By adjusting this lever you can increase or decrease the maximum speed of the
vehicle.
To reverse the steering mode
Steering reverse: It allows you to electronically switch the direction of steering servo travel.
Suspension Settings
Your model can be customized to enhance performance. Simple adjustment and
easily maintained setting will assure optimum operation and performance. When
making adjustments, do so only in small increments and always check for other
parts of the vehicle that are affected. Many after market options are a
available to make your R/C vehicle faster and stronger. Please read the
section carefully and it always make sure you write down your base settings in
case you need to refer to them at a later date.
Front steering toe angle adjustment
The front steering toe angle has a dramatic on how your car performs and how your tires wear. You can have toe in, zero toe or toe out. This can be adjusted by tuning the length of the steering linkage screwbolts as shown in the figure below. Before tuning, the steering linkage screwbolts should be remove from the vehicle. Measure the desired length by unscrewing or screwing in. After adjustment is complete, re-install them to the car.
Toe in – will be less reactive and cause the vehicle to under steer (the front
wheels push straight on while turning). This can be advantageous for operators
struggling to get to grips with the driving of the vehicle. Toe out – will be
more aggressive on the steering response especially on small steering inputs.
This will make the car want to over steer (rear wheels slide on small steering
inputs). This is useful as a race tuning aid to gain extra steering. Zero toe
– will make the front wheels run straight and make the car very neutral. Tire
wear will also be reduced and the vehicle will feel easier to
drive
Running practice
- Practice to achieve a large regular oval.
- Use empty cans etc as pylons for figure “8” drill.
- Decelerate when entering into a curve and pick up the speed after a vertex on the curve. Keep practising until you feel comfortable with the steering, throttle and brake at low speeds. Once you are feeling comfortable try operating on another track. When you have mastered the basics you will be able to drive at higher speeds in a more controlled fashion.
