Radio Operation
It is important that you familiarize yourself with the radio
system, as this is your direct link to the model.
• Never run your model with low receiver or transmitter
batteries.
• Always fold the antenna to the upright position before
running your model.
• Never leave the power on or the batteries will not last
long.
• Always turn the transmitter ON before turning the
model ON.
• When finished running, always turn the model OFF
before the transmitter.
• For best operation, it will be necessary to keep the
“trims” adjusted for both the steering and throttle as
noted on the following pages.
Steering Trim : The model should go straight without
turning the steering wheel. If not, tap the trim lever found just
above and to the right of the steering wheel in the direction
needed for the model to go straight. Each tap of the trim
button will be accompanied by an audible tone indicating
a change has been made. It may take several taps to get the
correct trim setting.
Throttle Trim : The model should idle without the tires
rotating when the trigger is at its neutral position. If not,
tap the trim lever found just above and to the left of the
steering wheel to reposition the throttle servo and close
the carburetor and apply more brakes. Note that additional
braking force is applied when you push the trigger forward.
