• Before running your Top Speed 2, it is a good idea to
check the water-cooling system to make sure all tubes
are properly connected and unblocked.
• Check over all screws to make sure they are
securely fastened.
• Periodically remove the drive shaft and re-lube with a thin
coat of petroleum jelly or light grease. (Refer to your
engine's manual for the correct procedure)
• Slowly advance the throttle to full speed and note if the
boat has a tendency to turn right or left. Adjust the
steering trim knob on your transmitter until the boat runs
in a straight line when the steering wheel is at neutral.
• CAUTION: Windy conditions cause rough water that will
affect the performance of your Top Speed 2 and increase
the chances of capsizing.
• Total run time of the Top Speed 2 is approximately 10-12
minutes (assuming you begin with a full tank of fuel).
When you notice an increase in power, it means the fuel
tank is nearly empty and it's time to head for shore. As
soon as the boat reaches shore, stop the engine by
pushing forward on the throttle trigger; turn off the
receiver, and finally the transmitter (in that order).
• CAUTION! The engine will be hot! Allow it to cool for a
few minutes before restarting.
• Your Top Speed 2 may take on small amounts of water,
especially when running in rough water and when making
tight turns. Keep a roll of paper towels handy and dry out
the hull interior after every run. If you notice excessive
amounts of water in the hull, check for leaks, especially
around the hull/deck joint. You may reseal the joint using
medium cyanoacrylate (CA) glue.
• Always store your Top Speed 2 with the canopy /hatch
cover and radio box cover removed to allow the interior to
dry out completely. If you neglect to do this, it may result
in corrosion of the electronic components.
• IMPORTANT: If, for whatever reason, your boat takes on
a large amount of water, swamps or sinks, causing the
radio equipment to get wet, you must do the following
immediately: Remove the battery pack and radio
equipment from the boat. Allow the components to air dry
completely. Reinstall the components and check for
proper operation before running the boat in water.
THE WAITING GAME
If your Top Speed 2 should happen to stall or capsize, water
currents will slowly carry it to shore. The bad news is that the
boat could be carried to the opposite shore. Keep variables
like wind direction and size of the lake in mind when
surveying areas to run your boat.
It is not advisable to run R/C boats on any free-flowing
bodies of water such as creeks or rivers.
HELPFUL TIP
Use a fishing rod with at least 12lb. line and a tennis ball tied
to the end to retrieve a stalled or capsized model boat.
GOOD LUCK AND GREAT BOATING!
