SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Introduction

This model is a sophisticated hobby product and not a toy. It must be operated using caution and common sense. Beginners
should seek the advice of experienced hobbyists to ensure that the model is properly built, run and maintained.
Some mechanical knowledge and ability is expected of the hobbyist, as failure to operate and maintain this model may result
in property damage, serious injury or even death.
This model is not intended for use by children without proper adult supervision.
Please follow the instructions and all posted warnings within this manual in order to properly assemble, setup, use and main-
tain this model.

Safety, precautions and warnings

This model is controlled by a radio signal that is subject to interference from many sources outside your

distance in all directions around your model, as this will help to avoid collisions or injury.
• Always operate your model in an open area away from cars, traffic, or people.
• Never operate your model with low transmitter batteries.
• Carefully follow the directions and warnings for this product and any optional support equipments (chargers, rechargeable
battery packs, etc.) that you use.
• Keep all parts, chemical solvents, oils and electrical components out of the reach of children.
• Moisture may cause damage to electronic components over time. Ensure that all electronic components, even waterproof
components, are fully dried out after every run. Never run your model in salt-water.

Removing or replacing the handle

1.Pull the handle release latch.

2.Pull back on the handle to release the handle from the
transmitter itself.
3.To replace the handle, pull back on the handle release
latch and push the handle back onto the transmitter.

Battery installation

This transmitter accepts alkaline or NiMH AA batteries. There is a built in low voltage warning where when the
voltage is lower than 4.5V +/- 0.2, the buzzer will sound continuously and the LED will flash. This is to remind the
user to change the batteries for fresh units.

1. Remove the battery cover from the transmitter.

2. Insert four new AA batteries according to the polari-
ty markings on the battery holder.
3. Reinstall the battery cover.

Warning: do not attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries,

you may cause an explosion.
Warning: please don't reserve the battery,or it will burn out
the PCB.

Channel connection
• Channel 1: Controlled by the wheel, connect to a servo for steering.
• Channel 2: Controlled by the trigger, connect to the ESC or a servo for throttle/brake.
• Channel 3: Controlled by the adjustment knob (0-100%) for optional use. This port can also be used to connect a transpon-
der device used in racing.
• AUX (Channel 4): Controlled by button (ON/OFF) for optional use. This port is most commonly used for LED light kits. Use
this port to connect an external battery for use with gas powered vehicles.

Receiver installation & connection

Installation
To achieve full operating range with your radio system it is critical that the receiver antenna be undamaged and
installed properly. It should be installed with as much of the antenna as possible in a vertical position. The end of
the antenna should be contained inside an antenna tube. When installing:

• Ensure there are no kinks in the antenna or antenna tube.

• Never fold the end of the antenna over the tube, this will reduce the operating range of the system and damage the antenna.
• Ensure the receiver is mounted securely or padded against hard impacts.

ESC setup

Attention: The incorrect polarity will damage the ESC immediately.

1. Connect the ESC, motor, receiver, battery and servo according to the following diagram
Ensure that the + and - wires of the ESC are connected to the battery pack.
The control cable of the ESC is connected to the throttle channel of the ESC (Usually CH2).
The motor + and motor - cables are connected to the motor in any order, if the motor runs in reverse, reverse the cables.

2. Set the Transmitter

Please set the “D/R”, “EPA” and “ATL” to 100% for throttle channel (for transmitter without LCD, please turn the
knobs to the maximum value), and set the “TRIM” of the throttle channel to 0 (for transmitter without LCD, please
turn the TRIM knob to its neutral position).
For Futaba TM and the similar transmitters, the direction of throttle channel shall be set to “REV”, while other
radio systems shall be set to “NOR”. The “Fail Save” function of the radio system is strongly recommended to be
activated. Please make sure that the motor can be stopped when the “Fail Save” happens.

3. Throttle Range Setting (Throttle Range Calibration)

In order to make the ESC match the throttle range of different transmitters, the calibrationof the ESC is necessary. To
calibrate the ESC, please turn on the transmitter, keep throttle stick at its neutral position, wait for 3 seconds to let the ESC
execute self-test and automatic throttle calibration. When the ESC is ready to run, a long beep sound is emitted from the
motor.

Note: Please calibrate the throttle range again when using a new transmitter or changing the settings of the neutral position
of throttle channel, D/R, ATV, ATL or EPA parameters,otherwise the ESC may not work properly.

Audible warnings and LED status

Protection functions

1. Low voltage Cut-off (LVC) protection: If the voltage of battery pack is lower than the threshold for 2 seconds, the ESC will
enter the protection mode.
When the car stops, the red LED blinks to indicate the low voltage cut-off protection has been activated.

2. Over-heat protection: When the internal temperature of the ESC is higher than 100 Celsius degree or 212 Fahrenheit
degree for 5 seconds, the ESC will reduce and cut off the output power.
When the car stops, the red LED blinks to indicate the over-heat protection has been activated. If the ESC cools down to
80 Celsius degree (176 Fahrenheit degree) the output power is recovered to normal state.
3. Throttle signal loss protection: The ESC will cut off the output power if the throttle signal has been lost for 0.1 second. The
“Fail Save” function of the radio system is strongly recommended to be activated.
