unpredictable responses!
Proceed as follows:
Place the vehicle on an appropriate support before connecting the drive battery so that the wheels can turn
freely.
Switch off the speed controller.
Switch on the transmitter if you haven’t done it already. Check its function (e.g. operation display of the
transmitter).
Put the trimming for the throttle/brake function at the transmitter into the centre position.
Now connect a fully charged drive battery to the speed controller in the correct polarity.
Now switch on the speed controller. Wait for a few seconds until the speed controller has completed its self-
test.
