g) Switching on the Speed Controller
Turnonthespeedcontroller(switchto"ON";seegureinchapter9.f).Thenwaitforafewseconds(leavethethrottle/
brake lever on the transmitter in the neutral position; do not move it).
If the vehicle drive starts although the throttle/brake on the transmitter is in the neutral position, then adjust
the trim on the transmitter until the motor stops.
 Ifthetrimmingpathisinsufcient,theneutralpositionmustbeprogrammed,seechapter10.a).
Now check the drive and steering functions of the vehicle.
For programming the speed controller, please observe chapter 10. b).
Important!
If a LiPo battery is used as a drive battery, check the basic settings of the speed controller for whether
undervoltage protection is activated (usually 3.0 V/cell). With the undervoltage recognition deactivated, the
LiPo battery will suffer deep discharge and be destroyed.
If a NiMH drive battery is used, switch off undervoltage recognition or set it to a lower value than for LiPo
batteries, see chapter 10. b).
The LED at the speed controller goes out in the neutral position or is lit in red when driving forward and backwards. At
forwarddrivingandfullthrottle,agreenLEDwilllightupadditionally.Ifyouhavesetthemaximumbrakeforce(chapter
10.b),function#5)to100%,thegreenLEDwilllightupaswellat"fullbraking".
h) Attaching and Fastening the Car Body
Put the car body onto the supports and secure them each with the safety clips.
i) Controlling the Vehicle
Put the ready-to-run vehicle on the ground. Do not reach into the drive, and to not hold the vehicle at its rims.
Operate the throttle/braking lever for the drive function at the transmitter very cautiously and do not drive too fast at
the beginning until you get used to the car's reactions. Do not make any quick and jerky movements with the operating
elements of the remote control.
Neverpointthetransmitteraerialdirectlyontothevehicle.Itwillstronglydecreasetherange.Themaximumrangewill
be achieved when the aerial of the transmitter and vehicle are both vertical and in parallel to each other.
If the vehicle tends to pull towards the left or the right, set the steering trim on the transmitter accordingly.
Whenswitchingbetweenforwardandreversegears,thethrottle/brakelevermustbeputintheneutralpositionbriey
(approx.1second)(neutralposition=letgooflever,donotmoveit).Ifthethrottle/brakeleverismovedfromforward
to reverse directly, the brake function of the drive is activated (vehicle will NOT reverse).
Whenthedrivebatteryisat,waitforatleast5-10minutesuntilmotorandspeedcontrollerhavecooleddownsuf-
cientlybeforethenextrun.Onlythenstartanewdrivewithafulldrivebattery.
