Failure to operate your Mini-Baja in a safe and responsible manner could result in damage to the model and property. The Mini-Baja is not intended for use by children without direct adult supervision.
The Transmitter 1. Steering Wheel: Controls direction (left/right) of the model. 12 2. Throttle Trigger: Controls speed and direction (forward/ reverse) of the model. 13 3. Antenna: Transmits signal to the model. 4. On/Off Switch: Turns the power on for the transmitter operation. 10 3 5. Indicator Lights: Green (top) light indicates adequate battery power. Red (bottom) light indicates signal strength. 6. Steering Trim (ST. TRIM): Adjusts the “hands off” direction of the model. 7. Throttle Trim (TH.
Resetting the ESC The ESC comes from the factory pre-set and ready for use. If for some reason you should need to re-set the ESC, use the following instructions. 1. Turn on the transmitter and ESC. Press the set-up button — both the RED and GREEN LEDs will come on. 2. Pull the throttle trigger all the way back (full speed) and press the set-up button once — only the GREEN LED will come on. 3.

Changing the Pinion Gear/Gear Ratio Before you change the pinion gear ask yourself why you are doing it. In general, if you change to a larger pinion the top speed will improve but you will see less acceleration and run time. This would only be advisable for really long track layouts with few tight turns. Changing to a smaller pinion will give you quicker acceleration and possibly a bit longer run time but a little less top speed. This would be good for short layouts or when running hotter motors.
Rebuilding/Refilling the Shocks Step 1 Step 2 After removing the shock, push up on the lower spring cup and remove it from the shaft. Remove the spring and preload spacers. Turn the shock upside down and remove the black shock cartridge/shaft assembly from the shock body by turning it counterclockwise. Note: If you only wish to change or fill the shock fluid, skip to step 6. Step 3 Step 4 Remove the top E-clip from the shock shaft. Remove the shock piston. Remove second E-clip.
