Fail Safe Operation and Setup
The Receiver has a built in failsafe. The failsafe will automatically go to a pre set position if
•
You lose radio signal/power runs out in transmitter
•
If you suffer any interference
•
If your receiver battery runs out of power
It is advised that you should set the failsafe so that in the event of any of the above situations the
throttle servo should apply brakes to your Nitro car or the throttle disengages to neutral on an
electronic speed control.
To set up your failsafe you must do the following.
•
Turn on the transmitter and the receiver
•
Set the steering and throttle trims to the neutral position.
•
Press the "Fail Safe Set" button on the receiver. The LED will start to flash rapidly.
•
While applying the desired amount of brakes/neutral on the transmitter (brakes for enine,
neutral for speed control) press the "Fail safe set" button. The LED will turn solid and the failsafe is set.
To check the failsafe is working you must turn on the R/C unit and then apply throttle with the transmitter. Whilst holding throttle turn off the
transmitter. The throttle servo or ESC should return to the pre-set position. This means the failsafe is working correctly. If your servo or ESC does
not return to the pre-set position then you must try to re-set your failsafe.
Maintenance after driving
Proper maintenance is very important. Make sure to always perform appropriate maintenance after driving so that you can enjoy driving without
problems next time.
Completely remove all dirt and debris from the vehicle, especially in the suspension, drive shafts and steering parts. Inspect each part for damage
and check for missing or loose screws.
You should always make sure your wheels are tight and parts move freely after and before use.
