Redcat Getting Started Section 1 : Preparing the Vehicle WARNING – THIS IS NOT A TOY. THIS VEHICLE RUNS ON FLAMABLE NITRO FUEL AND SHOULD NEVER BE OPERATED WITHOUT ADULT SUPERVISION. PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN PRIOR TO RUNNING.A FIRE EXTINGUISHER SHOULD BE NEAR BY AND PROPER EXPERIENCE FOR OPERATION IS A MUST. Congratulations on your purchase of a Redcat Racing R/C Vehicle. This guide will help ensure you have as much fun as possible with your new car or truck, with as little hassle as possible.
Loctite the grub screws(also known as set screws) These are located on the center drive shaft on all Redcat vehicles. Section 2 : Check Radio Settings Locate the center drive shafts and you will see a small screw.You should remove those screws and use blue loctite. T he radio guides are specific per model so simply click on the image of the radio that you received with your vehicle if you are unsure of the controls.
IMPORTANT: There are multiple radio frequencies that are used on RC vehicles. Make 100% sure that before you switch on your radio, that there are no other RC vehicles being operated in the area. By switching on your radio while another vehicle is being operated on the same frequency can cause damage to that vehicle or injury to others in the area.
Adjusting your Needles To adjust your needles you will need to know a few terms. If you want to Lean your motor (lean = less fuel reaching the motor), you will need to adjust the needles clockwise. To Richen (rich = more fuel reaching the motor) or Fatten your motor you will want to turn the needles counter clockwise. Adjustments to your needles should be made in very fine increments. I would suggest thinking of your needle as a clock. There are 12 hours on your clock.
Step 4 : Now that your engine is idling, you want to let it do so for an entire fuel tank. Make sure your tank is completely filled, and then let the car run till it is almost out of gas. It is best not to let the engine run completely out of gas, because it causes the engine to run lean for a split second when it runs out of fuel. At this early stage of your engines life, it is best not to do this. You may need to adjust the idle slightly so the car stays running.
