a. Install the antenna into transmitter.

b. Check the frequency printed on the transmitter crystal.

c. Check the frequency printed on the receiver crystal, and make sure it matches with the transmitter

crystal. Make sure no one will operate on the same frequency when you are. When there is a radio

glitch, it will most likely be caused by improper crystal, damaged crystal, or people operating on the

same frequency.

PREPARING THE RADIO

a. Plug the charger into an AC outlet.

b. Line up the charging adapter with the tip of the glow plug igniter.

c. Pull on the glow plug igniter lever to accept the charging adapter.

d. Plug the charging adapter into the glow plug igniter. At this point, the small red LED indicator on the

charger should light up indicating the charging sequence is in progress.

e. Unplug the glow plug igniter from charger after charging is complete. Pull on the glow plug igniter

lever.

f. Pull the charging adapter out of the glow plug igniter.

Charge the new glow plug igniter for 16 to 24 hours on the first charge. For subsequent charges, charge

it about 12 hours before next use.

NOTE :

If the igniter gets warm or hot during the charge, unplug the igniter from charger immediately. A warm /

hot igniter means the igniter is overcharged. Overcharging can damage the internal battery in the igniter;

thus, shortening its life.

RADIO BATTERY INSTALLATION

a. When turning radio on, first turn on the transmitter and extend the transmitter antenna.

b. Then, turn on the receiver. When turning off, first turn the receiver off, then the transmitter off.

c. To reverse the functions of servos, use the small, white servo reverse switches located on side of the

pistol transmitter (or the inset servo reverse switches located at the bottom of the stick transmitter). To

trim the servos on pistol transmitter, use the trim switches on side of the steering wheel (the ST. trims

steering, and the TH trims throttle/brake). On a stick transmitter, the trim levers are located accordingly

around the sticks.

d. For more details, please check the transmitter instruction manual.

RADIO OPERATION

OPERATING RADIO STEERING FUNCTION

a.Check the radio steering functions. With the radio transmitter and receiver on, turn the steering wheel/stick

to the left. The front tires/wheels should turn left accordingly. If not, flip the steering servo reverse switch.

b. Return the steering wheel/stick to neutral. The front tires/wheels should point straight forward. If not,

use the steering trim lever to correct it.

c. Turn the steering wheel/stick to the right. The front tires/wheels should turn right accordingly.

abc

a. Check the radio throttle/brake functions. With the radio transmitter and receiver on, pull the trigger/push

the stick forward. The carburetor should be fully opened and the brake disengaged. To reverse this

function, flip the throttle/brake servo reverse switch.

b. Return the trigger/stick to neutral. The carburetor should be closed to a point where the idle has been

set (see step for ADJUSTING THROTTLE/BRAKE LINKAGE), and the brake still disengaged. If not,

use the throttle/brake trim lever to correct it.

c. Push the trigger/pull the stick backward. The carburetor opening should still be the same at neutral,

throttle spring compressed slightly, and the brake engaged.

d. Press the Forward/Reverse Button. This will shift the truck into Reverse. Press the Forward/Reverse

Button again to shift the truck into Forward.

OPERATING RADIO THROTTLE / BRAKE

AND REVERSE FUNCTION

abc

a. To set the throttle/brake linkage, first the radio should be on and neutral; thus, the servo is at neutral

position.

b. With the servo at neutral, turn and adjust plastic brake adjustment nut at the end of the linkage until

there is a 1/16"(1.5mm) gap between the spring and the brake lever when the spring is not compressed.

( The brake lever should almost engages the brake system, but not yet.)

c. With the servo at neutral, using a 1.5mm Allen wrench driver to loosen the throttle collars. Then,

manually close the carburetor, and set the forward collar (next to the spring) with the spring slightly

compressed. Then, set the other collar (rearward) next to the linkage pivot.

a. Loosen the setscrews of the collars on the wire linkages using a 1.5mm Allen driver.

b. Turn on the radio and the truck, but do not start the engine.

c. The servo will move automatically to the position for forward driving.

d. Move the rearward collar toward the linkage pivot collar on the servo horn until the spring is fully

compressed. Uncompress the spring about 3/16"(4.5mm) by sliding the collar back and then tighten

the setscrew.

e. Press the FWD/REV button on the radio.

f. Repeat step13d with the forward collar.

1/16" Gap

a. To set the high speed needle (large needle sticking out from the carburetor body), turn the screw as

pictured. Initial high speed needle setting should be 2.5 turns (close the needle completely, then back

out 2.5 turns). Clockwise turn will provide leaner setting (lower fuel to air mixture), and counterclockwise

turn will provide richer setting (higher fuel to air mixture).

b. To set the carburetor idle (small needle sticking out from the carburetor body), turn the screw as

pictured. Initial idle setting should leave 1mm carburetor gap. Clockwise turn will provide higher idle

(larger carburetor opening), and counterclockwise turn will provide lower idle (smaller carburetor

opening). For more details about the engine setting, please refer to ENGINE BREAK-IN/SETTING

procedures to properly set the engine.

c. To set the low speed needle (The low-speed mixture screw is located in the end of the carburetor).

turn the screw as pictured. Initial low speed needle setting should be 6 1/2 turns (close the needle

completely, then back out 6.5 turns). This screw controls how much fuel enters the engine at idle and

low throttle. This adjustment will smooth the idle and improve the acceleration to mid speed. Make

this adjustment with the throttle closed, after setting the idle. Turn the screw clockwise gently until it

stops. DO NOT over tighten.

d. Remove the outer foam from filter and make it moist evenly with a few drops of fuel. Put the filter in a

plastic bag and knead it until the foam is saturated, but not soaked.

e. Finally, make sure the air cleaner boot is securely fastened with a zip-tie.

Never run your vehicle without the air filter .If the vehicle will be operated in an area with fine dust, use

filter oil or caster oil instead of fuel. It is important that the foam is only moist to trap dirt and allow air

passage. With the foam too wet, limited air can pass through; therefore, limiting engine performance.
