ASSEMBLY AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE
HELPFUL HINTS
✔ Avoid working over a deep pile carpet. If you drop a small part or screw,
it may be diffi cult to fi nd.
✔ Place a mat or towel over your work area. This will prevent parts from rolling off and will protect the work surface.
✔ Avoid running the car in cold weather. The plastic and metal parts can become brittle at low temperatures.
In addition, grease and oil become thick, causing premature wear and poor performance.
MAINTENANCE
BEFORE EACH RUN
✔ IMPORTANT: Check to make sure that
all screws are tight. Check that the servo
saver screw is fully tightened to ensure that
your Dromida DB4.18BL tracks straight.
✔ Always check the condition of your
radio system batteries and replace if
necessary.
✔ Check to make sure that all of the
moving parts of the Dromida DB4.18BL
move freely and do not bind.
✔ Turn on the radio and make sure the
servo moves easily and in the proper
direction.
✔ Check for any broken or damaged
parts. Replace them before running the
Dromida DB4.18BL. Running the Dromida
DB4.18BL with broken or damaged parts
could damage additional parts.
✔ Check to make sure that all wires are
properly connected.

THROTTLE CALIBRATION Before the ESC can be used, throttle calibration must be performed to ensure the throttle is set up properly. Be sure that your throttle trim is set to ZERO before performing calibration and that throttle end points and dual rates are set to maximum.
  • Page 13 PROGRAMMING Running Mode: This function adjusts the running mode between forward/brake and forward/brake/reverse. Drag Brake Force: This function adjusts the amount of drag brake applied at neutral throttle to simulate a slight braking effect of a neutral brushed motor while coasting. Low Voltage Cut-Off (LVC): This program is used to prevent the LiPo battery from over-discharging.
