[. . . ] Remove the 8 screws on the radio plate and two 3*10mm countersunk screws on the chassis. Install the steering / throttle servos onto the mounts with four tap screws. Notice the orientation of the throttle / steering servo output shafts. Install 4 AA size alkaline batteries in receiver battery box and connect the receiver battery box to the receiver switch. [. . . ] When there is a radio glitch, it will most likely be caused by improper crystal, damaged crystal, or people operating on the same frequency. 6a a. c. RADIO BATTERY INSTALLATION b c Install 8 AA-size alkaline batteries into transmitter. Undo the large zip-tie, and install 4AA alkaline batteries into receiver battery box. Secure the receiver with batteries back onto the radio plate with the large zip-tie. 7a a. c. RADIO OPERATION b c d. When turning radio on, first turn on the transmitter. When turning off, first turn the receiver off, then the transmitter off. 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. On a stick transmitter, the trim levers are located accordingly around the sticks. For more details, please check the transmitter instruction manual. 4 8a OPERATING RADIO STEERING FUNCTION b c a. With the radio transmitter and receiver on, turn the steering wheel/stick to the left. If it lights up dimly, then the glow plug igniter is low (and it needs recharging). If it does not light up or the plug element looks distorted, then the glow plug is bad (replace with new one). The glow plug used for this engine can be: Thunder Tiger 9281, McCoy #9 / #59, Novarossi C4S / C5S / C6S, OS #8 / #A3 / #A5, and Picco P6S / P7S. With the radio off, manually turn the servo to open the carburetor (open throttle). Keep doing it until fuel reaches engine's carburetor, then pull it 3 more times to prime the engine. c. STARTING THE ENGINE b c Turn on the radio (transmitter first, then receiver). Throttle maybe required to be opened momentarily, but release throttle back to neutral immediately after the engine starts. Remove the glow plug igniter from engine after engine has started and warmed up. If the engine stops right after the igniter is removed, the carburetor setting is too rich. To unflood an engine, remove the glow plug from engine, flip the car upside down, and pull on the starter to release excess fuel. Then, reinstall the glow plug and repeat the engine starting procedure. 15 a a. STOCK AND TOE-IN ADJUSTMENT b c Use the included shock clips to adjust for spring pre-load. Pressing the entire car down, release, and the car should returm to ride height ( indicated on set-up page ). [. . . ] Repeat step 15c until the engine reaches optimum setting (turning in the high speed needle will no longer have an effect at full throttle and turning out the needle will cause the engine's full throttle rpm to drop a little). For normal operations, turn the high speed needle 1/4 turn counterclockwise from the optimum setting. To set the idle, turn the idle screw in (higher rpm) or out (lower rpm). Basically, the idle needs to be set at the lowest possible point before the engine stalls. [. . . ]
