Slide and remove the battery cover from the transmitter, install three AA-size batteries ( 1.5V, each ), and replace the battery cover. Do not reverse the polarities when installing. Always use batteries of the same brand and remove batteries when not in use. Make sure battery power is sufficient before use.

Power Indicators (Red/Green):
The lights indicate the current status of the transmitter batteries. When both power indicator lights are illuminated, the batteries have sufficient capacity to power the transmitter safely. If the green power indicator light begins to flash, the batteries are losing power and should be replaced soon. If both power indicator lights begin to flash, the batteries have only limited capacity to power the transmitter. In this case, the batteries should be replaced as soon as is safely possible.

Brushless ESC/Receiver

Power Switch:
Press and hold for 2-3 seconds to switch it on or off.

1. Power Indicator
2. Servo Slot (3-pin)(for 3-wire Servo)
3. Aux. Slot (for LED light if it contains LED)

Always straighten the antenna for the best performance.

Starting Driving

1. Switch on the Transmitter:
   Slide the Power Switch to the “ON” position. Make sure the transmitter has enough battery power. Please replace with new batteries for the transmitter if the LED on the transmitter blinks slowly. Do NOT move the trigger and the steering wheel while the transmitter is waiting for binding.

2. Switch on the ESC/Receiver:
   Press and hold the Power Switch on ESC/Receiver for 2-3 seconds to turn on the car. It will take a few seconds before LEDs (on Transmitter and the ESC/Receiver) stop blinking and become solid, which indicates that the car is bound with the transmitter. Binding operation may fail with low battery power. Please stop and charge the battery pack once the car jerks, cogs, or moves slowly. Under the circumstance of flat battery power, the car may have steering but not throttle. In case the car runs harshly or noisily, stop to check if there is something clogged in the drive train.

3. Checking the steering performance by turning the steering wheel:

   • With the steering wheel centered, the vehicle runs in a straight line. Slight adjustment by flipping the steering wheel is occasionally needed. It largely depends on the terrain that you drive.
   • Turn the steering wheel to the left, and the car turns left.
   • Turn the steering wheel to the right, and the car turns right.

4. Throttle Control:
   Pull the trigger to accelerate, release it to slow the speed, and push to brake. Pull it to the Center Position and push it again to go reverse.

5. Steering Trim Knob:
   Left Knob. Used to set the steering neutral point on the front wheels. If the front wheels on the vehicle veer in one direction while the steering wheel is centered, turn this knob in the opposite direction until the vehicle drives straight.

6. Speed Knob:
   Right Knob. The Speed Switch is actually the throttle limiter. Turning down the knob all the way will reduce the maximum speed down to 40% of maximum speed. Turning up the knob will increase the max speed up to 100%. It is advisable to operate the vehicle on a slower setting until you have had enough practice before operating at higher speeds.

7. **Steering Direction Reverse Switch:

** If the vehicle turns right when you steer left, flip the “Steering Reverse” switch. If the vehicle turns left when you steer right, flip the “Steering Reverse” switch.

8. Throttle Forward/backward Reverse Switch:
   If the vehicle goes back when you pull the trigger, flip this switch. If the vehicle goes forwards when you push the trigger, flip this switch.

9. Steering Dual Rate (D/R)

How to use the steering dual rate (Steering D/R) knob?
The steering dual rate knob allows you to change the amount of steering servo travel compared to the amount of physical movement of the steering wheel. The amount that you increase the steering dual rate is proportional to how much you move the steering dual rate knob.

In addition, adjustments can be made while you are driving. So you can fine- tune the steering during a race, etc. By increasing the steering dual rate (turn the knob clockwise), you can make the steering servo travel more which might prevent your vehicle from pushing during turns. By reducing the steering dual rate (turn the knob counter-clockwise), you can make the steering servo travel less which might reduce the amount of turn-in the corners.

Troubleshooting

A.The vehicle does not work at all:

1. Check to ensure that the radio controller and car are switched on.
2. Check if there are damaged parts/wires/connectors, and repair or replace if necessary.
3. A car battery is flat. Charge the battery pack.

B.The vehicle runs slowly:

1. A car battery is flat. Charge the battery pack.
2. Check if the vehicle is properly geared and no dirty or stripped gears are found. Make sure there is a reliable gear mesh for the motor pinion and spur gear.
3. Check if there is something stopping the moving parts and clean them immediately.

C. The throttle works but not the steering:

1. Check if the servo feels jammed, and try centering it gently if it is the case.
2. Check if the servo link is loose or if the servo breaks. Repair or replace if needed.

D. It steers, but the throttle is uncontrollable:

1. Check if there are damaged parts in the overall drive train.
2. Check the battery power of both for radio controller and the car.

E. The vehicle runs noisily:

1. Check the gear mesh between the spur gear and motor pinion.
2. Check if there are stripped and/or dirty gears.
3. Check if there are some parts getting damaged in the overall drive train.

F. The vehicle is found in one direction’s steering travel is not the same as the other.

1. Please tune the Steering Trim until Steering Center Point is fixed.
