Pairing (Binding) the radio system:
The process of allowing communicaon to occur between a 2.4GHz transmier and receiver is called
“pairing” (also referred to as “matching” or “binding”). The radio system included with your product comes
pre-congured and paired from the factory. In the event your system loses this pairing, or one of the
components has been replaced, you will need to re-pair the transmier and receiver. Follow the below steps
for re-pairing your radio system
1. Ensure the transmier has good (new or charged) baeries installed and that it is powered OFF
2. Connect a fully charged baery pack to the electronics module and ensure it is powered OFF
3. Use a small blunt object (not sharp) to press and hold the PAIR/BIND buon on the electronics module
and move the switch to the ON posion
4. Release the bind buon on the electronics module
5. The red LED will ash quickly on the electronics module
6. Press and hold the PAIR/BIND buon on the transmier and move the switch to the ON posion
7. Release the bind buon on the transmier
8. The green LED on the transmier will ash slowly and the red LED on the receiver will change to ashing
slowly, then turn o, then back on
9. Move the power switches to the OFF posion, rst on the electronics module, then on the transmier
10. Move the power switches to the ON posion, rst the transmier, then on the electronics module
11. Ensure normal operaon of throle and steering
12. If you experience anything other than normal operaon, repeat the process
Calibrang your ERS unit’s ESC to the Transmier:
Properly seng the ESC to the transmier ensures the ESC “knows” when you are trying to apply full throle
or full brake/reverse. NOTE: It is best to perform this procedure with all baeries fully charged
1. Ensure TH. Trim is centered and set to 0 on the transmier, then turn the transmier and ESC ON
2. With throle trigger in neutral posion, press the Bind/Set buon on ESC for 3 seconds unl LED ashes
3. With throle trigger in full throle posiiton, press the Bind/Set buon on ESC once quickly
4. With the throle trigger set in full brake posion, press the bind/set buon once quickly
5. Your ESC is now set, turn o the power to your vehicle and turn it back on
6. Your ESC is now set to your transmier. Always re-perform this procedure aer binding your radio
Using the LVC funcon with LiPo Baeries:
When using a LiPo baery with your vehicle, you must turn the LVC to “LiPo” to ensure the ESC will not
over-discharge the baery, causing damage and risk of re. Ensure you have the LVC set to “NiMH” when
using your vehicle with standard NiMH baeries.
The Animus 18MT has been engineered with some available tuning opons listed here for reference.
Ride height adjustment: It is possible to adjust the ride height of your Animus 18MT by installing and or
removing adjustment clips located directly above the shock springs
• Adding more clips will raise the ride height of the vehicle and if done excessively may decrease stability.
• Removing clips will lower the ride height and may cause the chassis to drag on the ground.
• It is ideal to have the drive shas level with the ground while the vehicle is sing on a at surface with
the body installed. Add or remove clips to achieve the desired ride height
Shock Posion: There are two shock installaon locaons for the top mounng locaon of the shocks. The
default posion is inside (located closer to the centerline of the chassis)
• Moving the shock mounng locaon to the outer locaon will result in a slightly more responsive feel on
the front or rear of the vehicle
• Always check and adjust, if necessary, the ride height of your vehicle aer moving the shock mounng
