:: Quick Start Guide Battery Charging Steps and Safety: NiMH Wall Charger: (Part #29154 Wall Charger AC 120V 350MaH) NiMH Quick Charger: (Part #610 Reedy 447-S AC/DC 4-7 Cell Peak Prediction NiMH/NiCd Charger) Remove the battery from the vehicle before charging. Be sure to select the correct charging mode for the type of battery you are charging. NEVER leave the battery unattended while charging! NiMH: NiMH batteries (nickel-metal hydride) are high current rechargeable batteries.
:: Quick Start Guide - (cont.) Change the speed control to NiMH or LiPo battery modes. 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 1 Make sure both TH. ATV (LO & HI) is set on your transmitter all the way to the right or at 100% before you start. Turn on the transmitter. Pull trigger to full throttle and hold it. Turn on the speed control. You will hear six beeps (bibibibibibi) and see six flashing green lights. Release trigger back to neutral.
:: Quick Start Guide - (cont.) Radio System Tuning and Controls: 4 RULE: Transmitter on First/Vehicle on Second, Vehicle off First/ Transmitter off Last! 1) 2) 3) 4) Slide the battery cover in the direction shown to remove cover. Install six (6) alkaline or rechargeable AA size batteries into the battery holder. Slide the battery cover back into place making sure it is completely closed and secore. Turn the power ON.
:: Wiring Diagrams Receiver Box Gasket Maintenance: 1. Apply a small amount of “hobby grade” glue to the top edge of the receiver box in order to hold the receiver box gasket in place. Do the same for the receiver box lid. Make sure not to get glue on the side of the gaskets that will make contact with each other! Wait untill the glue has completely dried before moving on to the next step! 2. Once the receiver box gasket is installed, you can then plug your servo and speed control into your receiver.
:: Gear Mesh Gear Mesh: To correctly set your gear mesh, follow the steps below: 1. Remove the Chassis Brace. Loosen the set screw on the motor’s pinion gear. Slide the pinion on the motor shaft until the gear face of the pinion is entirely aligned with the gear face of the spur gear (see diagram). Tighten the set screw while ensuring it is aligned with the flat face on the motor shaft. Pinion Spur Gear 2. Loosen the motor clamp screw until the motor is able to move freely.
:: Camber / Toe Front Camber Angle: A good starting camber setting is –2 degrees (where the top of the tires lean inwards). Positive camber, where the top of the tire is leaning out, is typically not recommended. Front Toe-In: Zero degree toe-in (tires pointing straight forward) is a good starting setting. You can increase steering into corners by adding 1-2 degrees of toe-out (front of tires point slightly outward). Front toe - in is not a typical tuning adjustment used.
:: Spur Gear Access :: Spur Gear Access - (cont.) :: Spur Gear Access - (cont.) Rear Shock Tower Removal: Loosen the ball studs highlighted in order to remove the shock tower with the shocks and camber turnbuckles attached as one complete piece. The dogbones will come out when the shock tower is removed.
:: Spur Gear Access - (cont.) Slide center bulkhead cap forward to remove slipper assembly! :: Spur Gear Access - (cont.) :: Spur Gear Access - (cont.) Spur Gear Maintenance: When accessing your spur gear, check for wear on the teeth of the gear. The teeth should be nice and sharp. Also, check the slipper pads for wear. Replace if necessary. A good starting point for slipper setup is to have 3.5 to 4.0mm of thread showing on the shaft. 3.5mm-4.
:: Front Diff Access :: Front Diff Access - (cont.) :: Front Diff Access - (cont.) Front Shock Tower Removal: Loosen the ball studs highlighted in order to remove the shock tower with the shocks and camber turnbuckles attached as one complete piece.
:: Front Diff Access - (cont.) :: Diff Maintenance Differential Maintenance: Once you have removed the Diff gear, you can now drain the existing diff fluid from the differential. Stock Shock Fluid Setting: Check the diff gasket for wear or damage. Replace if necessary Front: black grease Fill the diff to the top of the cross pin with your choice of diff fluids. Rear: black grease Front Diff: Dif f flui d Thicker oil will get less low speed steering and better acceleration out of turns.
:: Shock Maintenance - (cont.) Bladder Installation 3 Sho 5wt ck f luid Stock Shock Fluid Setting: Front: 35wt Rear: 35wt A B C As you install the shock cap with the bladder, it will force out any extra fluid. If you install the cap with the shaft fully extended, you are running FULL REBOUND.This means the shaft will fully rebound when compressed. To run less rebound, unthread the cap 1-2 turns and compress the shaft to the desired position and re-tighten the cap with the shaft compressed.
:: Motor Manual 550-SL BRUSHLESS MOTOR Introduction Caution Congratulations on your purchase of the Reedy 550-SL Brushless Motor. The latest brushless motor technology along with the design and engineering experience that is responsible for 29 World Championship titles has been incorporated into its design. When switching to a higher voltage battery from a lower one (11.1V to 7.4V, for example), a change in gear ratio or a lower kV motor might be necessary.
