Driving
- Driving an R/C car may take some time to master but here are some basic tips on driving:
- Drive your car in a large space, especially until you get the feel of driving the vehicle.
- Do not run on public streets or roads. This could cause serious accidents, personal injuries and/or property damage.
- Do not run in water or sand.
- If you keep pulling the throttle trigger on the transmitter, the vehicle will keep accelerating and run very fast. It is difficult to steer the vehicle running at high speed – try to run slowly being gentle on the throttle until you become used to driving.
- When the vehicle is running toward you, you need to operate the steering wheel in the opposite direction – take your time to get used to it.
- Practice turning the vehicle, referring to the following:
- Rather than just paying attention to the direction of the steering wheel, imagine that you are at the centre of the steering wheel, looking ahead of the vehicle, to turn in the direction you like.
- Once you become comfortable driving the vehicle, practice driving on a track with cones.
- Keep practising until you feel comfortable with the steering and throttle at low speed.
- Once you are feeling comfortable try using reverse.
- When you have mastered the basics you will be able to drive at higher speed having your car under control all the time.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Cause | What to do? |
|---|---|---|
| The vehicle does not move | Transmitter or receiver is off | Turn on both the transmitter and receiver |
| Batteries are not placed correctly in the transmitter | Place batteries in the transmitter properly | |
| The power pack is not charged enough | Charge the power pack | |
| The vehicle does not follow your driving inputs | Transmitter or receiver is off | Turn on both the transmitter and receiver |
| Transmitter reverse switches are set incorrectly | Check the reverse switch settings | |
| Transmitter End Point Adjustment (EPA) dials and/or the steering Dual rates (D/R) are set incorrectly | Check the settings of EPA dials and/or D/R on your transmitter. | |
| Weak batteries in either the transmitter or the car | Replace batteries in the transmitter and recharge the power pack. | |
| Motor and/or ESC overheats | Gear mesh is too tight | Let motor cool and reset gear mesh: use a strip of paper inserted between the pinnion and spur gear in order to get the correct setting. |
| The gear ratio is too high | Let motor cool and check recommended gearing for your car, motor and battery. |
Maintenance after driving
Proper maintenance is essential. Make sure to always perform appropriate maintenance after driving so that you can enjoy driving without problems next time.
- Always disconnect the battery pack and turn off the radio system when the car is not in use.
- Remove the sand, mud, dirt, and any other elements completely from the car before you store it.
- Never use chemicals or any solvents to clean the chassis as it may cause damage to the electronics components and plastic parts as well. Use compressed air, soft paintbrush, or toothbrush to clean dust and dirt.
- Inspect each part, screw and nut for loosening, missing or damage.
- You should always make sure the wheels are tightly secured and all moving or rotating parts move freely after and before use.
