Installing The Battery Pack; Turning On The Power; Turning Off The Power; Trim Setup - Maverick VADER XB Instruction Manual

Installing the battery pack

Open the Velcro straps and place the
battery in the holder. Make sure the
battery is located in the holder and
does not move around.

Turning off the power

Turn off receiver first and then turn off transmitter.
If you switch off the transmitter first before the R/C car, you may lose control of the R/C car.
•
Turn off the receiver switch.
•
Turn off the transmitter switch.
•
Disconnect the battery connector from the speed control connector.

Trim Setup

If the front tyres are not pointing straight forward with the transmitter on, adjust the steering trim. Then if needed make fine adjustments with the
steering trim whilst driving the vehicle.
If wheels point left, turn clockwise

Fail Safe Operation and Setup

The Receiver has a built in failsafe. The failsafe will automatically go to a pre set position if
•
You lose radio signal/power runs out in transmitter
•
If you suffer any interference
•
If your receiver battery runs out of power
It is advised that you should set the failsafe so that in the event of any of the above situations the
throttle servo should apply brakes to your Nitro car or the throttle disengages to neutral on an
electronic speed control.
To set up your failsafe you must do the following.
•
Turn on the transmitter and the receiver
•
Set the steering and throttle trims to the neutral position.
•
Press the "Fail Safe Set" button on the receiver. The LED will start to flash rapidly.
•
While applying the desired amount of brakes/neutral on the transmitter (brakes for engine, neutral for speed control) press the "Fail safe
set" button. The LED will turn solid and the failsafe is set.
To check the failsafe is working you must turn on the R/C unit and then apply throttle with the transmitter. Whilst holding throttle turn off the
transmitter. The throttle servo or ESC should return to the pre-set position. This means the failsafe is working correctly. If your servo or ESC does
not return to the pre-set position then you must try to re-set your failsafe.
Fasten the Velcro straps to secure the
battery. If you have a balance lead on
the battery make sure this is secured
by the straps.
If wheels point right, turn anti-clockwise.
