b) Performing a Function Inspection of the Steering

• Supportthemodelatthefrontinawaythatallowsthewheelstohangfreely.

Due to the good traction of the wheels and the weight of the vehicle, the wheels would not follow your steer-

ingcommandsspontaneouslyanddirectlywhilestillontheoor.Thischangesduringoperation.

• Firstswitchonthetransmitter,thenthereceiverpowersupply.

• Movethesteeringwheelatthetransmittertotheleftandright.

• Thewheelsmustdeecttotheleftandright(inthesamedirectioninwhichyouturnthesteeringwheel).

If the wheels move in the opposite direction, switch the reverse function for the steering into the respective other

position and check the starting function again.

• Releasethesteeringwheel(neutralposition);nowthewheelsmustreturntothestraightposition.Ifthewheelsdo

not stop straight in the neutral position of the steering wheel, correct this with the trim function of the steering at your

transmitter. The steering wheel end stops left/right should lead to left/right end stops of the steering.

Observe:

The precise alignment of the steering for straight driving is performed later during driving, using the trim

functionatthetransmitter.Therefore,itisnorequiredthatyoualignthewheels100%whilestanding.

c) Function of Linkage of Carburettor and Brake

The throttle/brake servo is connected to channel 2 of

thereceiverandismovedbymovingthengergrip

at the transmitter.

The special placement of the throttle/brake linkage

leads to two functions being carried out at the same

time via two servo steering levers that are offset by

90°.

By moving the carburettor slide (B), the air supply to

the engine is controlled through the throttle linkage

(A).

Atthesametime,theidlingnozzleneedle(conical

needle of a needle valve) is moved to change the fuel

amountowingthroughthecarburettor.

If the throttle linkage is pushed beyond the idle posi-

tion (mechanic end stop of the carburettor slider), the

servo arm pushes against a spring stop.

Now the sphere of action of the brake linkage (C)

comes into effect; it pushes the brake shoes of the

disk brakes together via an eccentric tappet.
