Page 4: Chassis Tuning
Resetting the ESC The ESC comes from the factory pre-set and ready for use. If for some reason you should need to reset the ESC, use the following instructions. 1. Turn on the transmitter and ESC. Press the setup button—both the RED and GREEN LEDs will come on. 2. Pull the throttle trigger all the way back (full speed) and press the setup button once—only the GREEN LED will come on. 3. Push the throttle trigger full forward (brake/reverse) and push the setup button once—only the RED LED will come on. 4. Let the throttle trigger return to the neutral (center) position and press the setup button once more to save the program and exit setup mode—only the GREEN LED will be on. Notes: A: If the receiver does not receive a signal from the Transmitter, the ESC will not enter the Program mode. While in Program mode, the motor will not run. C: I f the setup button is not pressed for 20 seconds while in the Program mode, the ESC will exit the Program mode and the data will be saved. Chassis Tuning The Mini-Late Model has several adjustments available to you for tuning the performance for your needs. Although there are multiple shock positions and camber link locations provided, we have built the model with the best overall settings. - Page 5 Camber Camber is the angle of the tires to the racing surface when viewed from the front or rear of the vehicle. You want to keep both the front and rear tires straight up and down or leaning in at the top very slightly. If you are running on carpet or similar high-traction surfaces, you may find leaning the tires in a bit more helps.

Page 6: Changing The Spur Gear
Rebuilding the Differential The gears in the differential will wear over time. The same is true for the outdrives, driveshafts and rear axles. We suggest using a small rag or paper towel to lay out the parts you remove to make it easier to reassemble. To Remove Gear Cover Disassembly 1. Unplug the motor. 2. Remove the gear cover (three screws). 3. Remove the two screws at the extreme rear bottom of the chassis. 4. - Page 7 Steering Servo Installation/Removal Unplug the servo lead from the receiver. Remove the four small screws that secure the servo mount/chassis brace to the chassis. Use a screwdriver or Servo Removal small pliers to pop the steering link off of the servo, so it can be removed. Remove these four screws There is no need to remove the servo mounts on either side as all service can be done with them on.
