Antenna Tube Installation

Install the receiver antenna in the tube as shown. Do not bend end of
antenna over antenna tube and place cap over it. The antenna does
not have to be outside of the tube to operate properly.
Keep the end of the antenna above the boat's waterline to get the best
transmitter reception. Apply clear tape (DYNM0102), if desired.
NOTICE: Do not cut or kink the receiver antenna or damage may
result.

Battery Pack Installation

1. Loosen the 4 canopy screws.
2. Carefully lift the canopy from the hull.
3. Install the battery in the battery tray.
4. Connect the battery to the ESC power connectors.
5. Before placing your boat in the water, secure the canopy on the
hull. Apply clear tape (DYNM0102), if desired.
TIP: Place the canopy flat onto the hull and secure the two front
screws simultaneously. Then secure the two rear screws simul-
taneously. This helps prevent cross threading and damage to the
thumbscrews and/or threaded inserts.
TIP: Begin with the batteries as far forward as possible, moving
them back ½ inch (13mm) at a time toward the stern until the boat
reaches maximum speed.
Positioning the Battery Pack
• Toward the Bow: In rough water or strong wind conditions, place
the battery toward the front of the battery tray to ensure stability.
• Centered: In smooth water and calm wind, move the battery rear-
ward in the hull to allow the bow to ride higher and increase speed.
Be aware that positioning the battery farther aft increases the likeli-
hood of the boat blowing over at speed or becoming unstable.
• Toward the Stern: Positioning the battery toward the back of the
battery tray can provide higher top speeds but can cause instabil-
ity. Experiment with this position only in very calm conditions while
closely monitoring the hull's attitude as you increase speed.

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.
1. With the radio system powered on and connected, walk away from
your boat 90 feet (32 m).

Self-Righting

The Recoil 2 features an auto self-righting feature. This feature is most
effective at or above half power.
To engage the self-righting feature:
1. Press and hold the A button on your transmitter, and the boat will
self-right.
2. Once the boat has flipped upright, release the A button to resume
normal operation.
If you are below half power, use the throttle and brake normally to
self-right the boat. Pulse the throttle and brake alternatively, and
the boat will self-right.

2. Have an assistant remain with the boat to check for proper
control movement of the steering mechanism in response to your
transmitter input.
3. If everything appears to be operating correctly, prepare to operate
the boat in the water.
