Resetting the ESC
The ESC comes from the factory preset and ready for use. If for some reason you should need to reset the ESC, use the
following instructions.
1. Turn on the transmitter and ESC. Press the setup button—both the RED and GREEN LEDs will come on.
2. Pull the throttle trigger all the way back (full speed) and press the setup button once—only the GREEN LED will come on.
3. Push the throttle trigger full forward (brake/reverse) and push the setup button once—only the RED LED will come on.
4. Let the throttle trigger return to the neutral (center) position and press the setup button once more to save the program
and exit setup mode—only the GREEN LED will be on.
Notes:
A: If the receiver does not receive a signal from the Transmitter, the ESC will not enter the Program mode.
B: While in Program mode, the motor will not run.
C: If the setup button is not pressed for 20 seconds while in the Program mode, the ESC will exit the Program mode and
the data will be saved.
Chassis Tuning
The following are simple adjustments and easily maintained settings to assure proper operation and performance. It is
advised when making any adjustment that you do so in small increments and always check for other parts of the chassis that
are affected.
Slipper Adjustments
The Mini-Rock Crawler is equipped with a slipper device offering both traction
control and protection for the transmission. The slipper is primarily used to
help absorb sudden impacts on the drivetrain or when using more powerful
aftermarket motors and/or battery packs. Additionally, it can be used to smooth
out the flow of power to the wheels. Adjustment is made by turning the 3mm
adjustment nut clockwise (to the right) to reduce the slip, or counterclockwise (to
the left) to increase the slip. As you punch the throttle, the slipper should slip no
more than an inch as it accelerates. With the included motor and battery pack it
should slip just a little. Make sure you replace the gear cover before running.
Steering Rate
Your transmitter is equipped with a steering rate control to the left of the steering wheel. This advanced feature, usually found
only on competition-type radios, allows you to adjust the amount the front tires move when you turn the steering wheel.
1. Center servo saver arm
2. Remove servo saver arm
assembly from the servo.
Remove the steering ball stud
and install into solid servo arm.
3. With servo output shaft still
centered, install solid servo
arm with the shorter screw
supplied and attach steering
linkage.
Steering Servo Saver Removal
The Mini-Rock Crawler steering servo comes with a servo saver installed. As your rock crawling skills improve, we have
included a steering arm that eliminates the servo saver. Although this setup provides more precise steering, it does put your
servo gears at risk for breakage. Use caution when the steering servo is under severe loads.
