• Over time, RC model fuel attracts moisture and the methanol/nitromethane will evaporate. This may cause prob-
lems when starting the engine, or the engine may not run smoothly. If you do not plan to use the vehicle for an
extended period, drive it until the tank is empty, or pump the fuel out of the tank (e.g. using a mechanical or electric
model fuel pump).
The vehicle doesn't stop when throttle/brake lever is released on the remote control.
• On the remote control, set the neutral position for the throttle/brake function. If the trim is insufficient, adjust the
position of the servo arm on the throttle/brake servo and the screw connection.
• Check the linkage between the throttle/brake servo and carburettor/brake.
• The throttle stop screw on the carburettor may need to be adjusted.
• The vehicle is too far away and out of reach of the remote control. Never point the remote control aerial directly at
the model, as this significantly reduces the range.
• We recommend using a fail-safe system that brings the throttle/brake servo to a preset position in the event of
reception issues (e.g. the neutral position or brake).
The receiver/remote control may feature a fail-safe function. Refer to the operating instructions for your remote
control system for details.
If the remote control system does not have a fail-safe function, you can purchase a fail-safe system as an accessory
at www.conrad.com.
The vehicle slows down.
• The drive is blocked by leaves, grass or other objects.
• The carburettor mixture is too lean (engine is powerless and may overheat). Increase the oil content of the carburet-
tor mixture.
• The air filter is very dirty. This increases the oil content of the carburettor mixture (the engine stutters and does not
start properly, or it takes a long time for the engine to start). Clean or replace the air filter. Remember to lubricate
the air filter to prevent dust from entering the engine.
• The clutch is overheating (or worn), because the vehicle was driven for extended periods in the partial load range.
The servos do not respond or only respond intermittently; the remote control range is very short.
• The receiver battery or the remote control batteries are empty.
• Never point the remote control aerial directly at the model, as this significantly reduces the range.
• Check that condition of the receiver aerial. Has it fallen off (e.g. due to the vehicle turning over), or has it been cut
or rolled up? This significantly reduces the transmission range.
The vehicle does not travel in a straight line.
• Set the steering trim on the remote control.
• Check the steering linkage, the servo arm and the screw connection/toe setting.
• Has the vehicle had an accident? If so, check the vehicle for any defective or broken parts and replace them if
necessary.
