Range Check
IMPORTANT: Perform a range check at the beginning
of each boating session, after repair or after installation
of a new battery.
Ensure that the battery is fully charged.
With the radio system powered on and connected, walk
away from your boat 90 feet (32 m).
Have an assistant remain with the boat to check for
proper control movement of the steering mechanism
in response to your transmitter input.
If everything appears to be operating correctly, prepare to
operate the boat in the water.

Testing Your Boat in the Water

Tip: Before placing your boat in the water, secure
the canopy on the hull. Apply clear tape (DYNM0102)
around the canopy seam, if desired.
1. Carefully place the boat in the water.
2. If the boat does not go straight, adjust the steering
trim dial on the transmitter.
Tip: If you are using excessive steering trim on your
transmitter to make the boat drive straight, return the
trim to neutral and mechanically center the rudder. To
do this, use a 1.5mm hex driver to loosen the set screw
holding the push rod to the servo. Adjust the linkage in
or out of the brass barrel until the rudder is centered.
Tighten the set screw using a 1.5mm hex driver.
3. Retrieve the boat when it begins to lose speed.
4. Power off the ESC and disconnect the battery.
