Check the range of the remote-control transmitter
!
and of the control functions.
CAUTION!
Never operate the model with a remote control unit operating in a faulty manner.
Range of the remote-control transmitter
To maintain secure control over the model, before each start and especially after a crash, you should check the
functioning and range of the RC system. Testing the functioning of the steering servo will suffice to do so.
If the remote-control system should not work acceptably, check the charging level of the rechargeable batteries
for the transmitter and receiver and refresh the link between the transmitter and receiver..
Prop up the model such that the wheels are suspended freely in the air. Due to the static friction of the tyres
on the ground, the steering would react too slowly if not suspended.
Go about 50 m away from the propped up model.
Test the steering function as described below:
Control function of steering
Put the steering wheel and the respective trimming in the neutral position.
Switch on the transmitter.
Connect the rechargeable battery to the electronic speed controller and switch on the receiver.
Turn the steering wheel to the left and the right. The wheels of the model should also turn to the left and the
right. If the wheels turn in the opposite direction, put the reverse switch for the steering function on the trans-
mitter in the other position.
When you release the steering wheel, the wheels should turn back into the straight-ahead position.
If the wheels are not exactly straight in the zero position of the steering wheel, correct the position on the trim
control for the steering function (channel 1).
The end stops of the steering wheel should actuate the end stops to the right/left of the steering!
Control function of speed control system
Put the accelerator/brake lever and the respective trimming in the neutral position.
When the remote control lever is in the neutral position, the motor must not start up.
If necessary, bring the motor to a standstill using the trim on the transmitter.
Move the accelerator/brake lever on the remote control forward. The rotating speed of the motor should
change infinitely variably.
Then move the remote control lever backwards to check brake and reverse travel mode.
If the wheels turn in the wrong direction, use the servo reverse switch on the transmitter to correct the run-
ning direction.
