Remember to oil the motor bearings after each day of running.
Just a few drops on each bearing are enough.
Linking
Your Tactic transmitter and receiver come pre-linked from
the factory. If for any reason this is interrupted or you need
to replace either the transmitter or receiver, you will have to
re-link the two together.
TO LINK THE TX AND RX:
1. Turn on the transmitter.
2. Apply power to the receiver.
3. If the receiver’s LED flashes once and then stays on, the
Rx is already linked to the Tx and you can skip to the next
section. Otherwise, push and hold the receiver’s “BIND”
button until its LED glows red and then turns off after about
one second.
4. Release the BIND button.
5. If the linking is successful, the LED will flash once and
then remain ON.
6. Test for proper Tx/Rx functionality by completing the next
section. If it doesn’t seem the radio has linked properly,
repeat steps 1-5 above.
Performance Tuning
Keep in mind, as you tune your Miss Seattle Hydroplane for
top speed and handling, that this boat IS SMALL AND FAST!
Because of its size it only needs very small adjustments to
change the way the boat performs.
STEERING DEFLECTION
Your Miss Seattle Hydroplane has quite aggressive steering.
It’s important to keep this in mind as you tune your boat. The
rudder it only needs a small amount of deflection to make
the boat turn well. Setting the rate knob to high (Clockwise)
can upset the handling of the boat. Ultimately it needs to be
tuned to your race course or liking.
SHARPENING
It’s best to sharpen the turn fin to a razor-sharp edge. This will
eliminate drag and reduce lift. Remember as a rule of thumb,
if it touches the water, it needs to be sharp or have sharp
edges. GRIMRACER SAYS! Sharpen the outer edge of the
turn fin toward the inside of the boat. This is a great way to
help control prop torque.
TURN FIN ADJUSTMENTS
The turn can be adjusted to a vertical setting or for more
aggressive steering tucked under the boat. It’s important to
note that this boat does not require much tuck-under. The
boat runs very well with the fin vertical.
