EN Wet Conditions Maintenance • Remove the battery pack(s) and dry the contacts. If you have an air compressor or a can of compressed air, blow out any water that may be inside the recessed connector housing. • Remove the tires/wheels from the vehicle and gently rinse the mud and dirt off with a garden hose. Avoid rinsing the bearings and transmission. NOTICE: Never use a pressure washer to clean your vehicle.
EN QUICK START Please read the entire manual to gain a full understanding of the vehicle, fine-tuning the setup and performing maintenance. 1. Read the safety precautions found in this manual. 5. Power ON the transmitter and then the vehicle. Wait 5 seconds for the ESC to initialize. Always power the transmitter ON before the vehicle and power it OFF after the vehicle has been powered OFF. 2. Charge a battery for the vehicle.
EN TRANSMITTER CONTROLS 1. Steering Wheel Controls direction (left/right) of the model 2. Throttle Trigger Controls speed and direction (forward/brake/reverse) of the model 3. ON/OFF Switch Turns the power ON/OFF for the transmitter 4. Throttle Limiting Switch Adjusts the throttle limit from 50%, 75%, and 100% 5. TH Rate Adjusts the end point of the throttle 6.

EN BINDING Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter. The STX2® transmitter and SPMSRX200 receiver are bound at the factory. If you need to rebind, follow the instructions below. You must rebind when: • Different failsafe positions are desired e.g., when throttle or steering reversing has been changed. • Binding the receiver to a different transmitter. CHANGING THE THROTTLE LIMIT Throttle Limit Switch 1.
EN OPERATION • ALWAYS turn on your transmitter before you turn on the receiver in the vehicle. Always power off the receiver before turning your transmitter off. • ALWAYS operate your vehicle in a wide open area. Operating the vehicle in a small space or indoors can cause overheating at low speeds. Operating at low speed increases heat in the electronic speed control (ESC). Overheating can damage the vehicle and failure may result. WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED 1. Power off the ESC. 2.
EN MAINTENANCE SETTING THE GEAR MESH B The gear mesh has already been set at the factory. Setting the gear mesh is only necessary when changing motors or gears. C You must remove the vehicle’s gear cover (A) to make this adjustment. Proper gear mesh (how the gear teeth meet) is important to the performance of the vehicle. When the gear mesh is too loose, the spur gear could be damaged by the pinion gear of the motor. If the mesh is too tight, speed could be limited and the motor and ESC will overheat.
EN SHOCK CLEANING REAR SHOCK Oil-filled shocks require regular maintenance because oil breaks down and/or gets dirty. Perform this maintenance every 3–5 hours of use, depending on useage conditions. ECX1037 ECX1037 ECX1043 ECX1043 ECX1057 • Remove the shock from the vehicle. • Remove the cap from the shock body and dispose of fluid. • Disassemble the shock. Clean thoroughly with a plastic- and electronic-safe degreaser (DYNE50001). Dry parts before assembly.
