Dear Customer,

Thank you for purchasing a set of Ripmax Electric retracts. Before trying to use them, please read these

instructions carefully. These retracts can be used in both electric and engine powered models. They are

designed to primarily use the power supplied through the receiver. This can come from the battery in the case

of engine models, or a BEC system in electric models. When operating, the units may pull signiﬁcant total

current, especially tricycle setups. The heavier the wheels/legs or air drag on the leg doors, the more current

is used. Please make sure that your BEC system (or battery in engine models) is capable of delivering this

current. BEC systems that use a ‘linear’ style BEC will have substantially less current ability than ‘Switch mode’

BEC systems. Your ESC manufacturer should be able to tell you the BEC current rating. Remember to take into

account the general model needs also (servos and receiver). Failure to provide the total system with enough

power may cause the receiver to lose signal (brown out). If in doubt, use a separate battery supply for the

retracts. For this you will need a special ‘Y’ lead (part number P-CFCYLG).
