With the radio transmitter and receiver on, turn the steering wheel/stick to the left. c. OPERATING RADIO THROTTLE / BRAKE FUNCTION b c Check the radio throttle/brake functions. With the radio transmitter and receiver on, pull the trigger/push the stick forward. To reverse this function, flip the throttle/brake servo reverse switch. The carburetor should be closed to a point where the idle has been set (see step for ADJUSTING THROTTLE/BRAKE LINKAGE), and the brake still disengaged. The carburetor opening should still be the same at neutral, throttle spring compressed slightly, and the brake engaged. 5 10 a a. c. ADJUSTING THROTTLE / BRAKE LINKAGE b c To set the throttle/brake linkage, first the radio should be on and neutral; thus, the servo is at neutral position. With the servo at neutral, turn and adjust the brake adjust knob to a point where the brake lever almost engages the brake system, but not yet. Then, manually close the carburetor, and set the collar (next to the spring) with the spring slightly compressed. b. ADJUSTING CARBURETOR b c To set the carburetor idle (small needle sticking out from the carburetor body), turn the screw as pictured. Clockwise turn will provide higher idle (larger carburetor opening), and counterclockwise turn will provide lower idle (smaller carburetor opening). To set the high speed needle (large needle sticking out from the carburetor body), turn the screw as pictured. Initial high speed needle setting should be 2. 5 turns (close the needle completely, then back out 2. 5 turns). Clockwise turn will provide leaner setting (lower fuel to air mixture), and counterclockwise turn will provide richer setting (higher fuel to air mixture). Please refer to ENGINE BREAK-IN/SETTING procedures to properly set the engine. Remove the outer foam from filter and make it moist evenly with a few drops of fuel. If the vehicle will be operated in an area with fine dust, use filter oil or caster oil instead of fuel. It is important that the foam is only moist to trap dirt and allow air passage. With the foam too wet, limited air can pass through; therefore, limiting engine performance. Finally, make sure the air cleaner boot is securely fastened with a zip-tie. c. 6 12 a a.
