Tx Function Overview
Antenna
The Antenna broadcasts control signals to the model.
Throttle Trim
This dial adjusts the throttle’s neural position to ensure that while in neutral the model stops, when the trigger
is pulled the model moves forward, and when released away from oneself the model breaks and the goes into
reverse.

www.pilotage-rc.com
Steering Trim
This dial adjusts the steering servo`s neutral position to ensure that the model runs in a straight line when in use.
Reverse
This switch allows one to reverse the servo functional directon of the steering or throttles controls.
On/O Switch
Turns the power on the Tx on and o.
Steering Dual Rates
This regulates the overall extent of travel in the steering servo. This allows you to preset how sharp your model
will turn and is instrumental for tuning your model for a given race track.
Steering Control Wheel
This wheel regulates the steering servo in your model which turns the front wheels.
Throttle Trigger
The Throttle Trigger controls the throttle. The speed of the model is proportional going forwards and backwards
to the extent that the trigger is depressed, or extended away from the pistol grip.
Battery Compartment
This holds the batteries that provide power to the Tx.
Throttle Dual Rates
This regulates the over all extent of the throttle settings going both forward and/or reverse. This is instrumental
in limiting top speed to ensure that the driver maintains control over the model.

START UP GUIDE
Prior to Operation
1. Charge the 7.4V Battery Pack
• Carefully review the battery pack specications.
• Fully charge the 7.4V battery pack in accordance with the instruction manual for your selected charger.
2. Tx Preparation
• Slide o the battery cover on the bottom of the Tx.
• Install 4pcs of fresh AA batteries. Be sure to follow the polarity diagram as illustrated in the inside of the
battery compartment. If polarity is not followed you risk damaging your battery cells and the electronic
components of the Tx.
3. Remove the Body
• Remove 4 body clips from the body retaining posts.
• Lift the lexan body o of the chassis.
12
www.pilotage-rc.com
4. Installation of the 7.4V Battery Pack
• Remove the clips from the battery retention plates.
• Remove the battery retention plates.
• Position the pack of batteries onto the designated platform on the chassis and connect the battery output
lead to the ESC as illustrated.
• Place the battery retention plates on top of the batteries and secure them into place with the provided clips.
5. Install the Body Back on the Model
• Place the body on the body mount posts.
• Secure the body in place with the clips.
FUNCTION CHECK AND MODEL SETUP
Turn “ON” Your Model
• Turn the Tx power switch to the “ON” position.
• Remove 4pcs body clips from the body retaining posts.
• Lift the lexan body o of the chassis.
• Turn the power switch on the model to the “on” position.
• Replace the body on the model.
• Secure the body into place with the body clips.
13
Check the Tx and Car function
Rotate the control wheel forward or to the right if viewing the transmitter face. The wheels should turn to the
right (when the model is viewed from the rear).
Rotate the control wheel towards yourself or to the left when looking directly at the transmitter face. The wheels
should turn to the left (when the model is viewed from the rear). If the wheels move in the opposite direction
check the servo reversing settings on the Tx.
If needed, to reverse the steering servo control direction, move the steering reverse switch to the opposite
position.
14
www.pilotage-rc.com
Slowly and evenly squeeze the trigger on the Tx and the wheels on the model should drive the model forward.
Release the trigger on the Tx and the motor should idle and the car should gradually roll to a stop.
If needed, to reverse the throttle control direction, move the throttle reverse switch to the opposite position.
15
Extend the trigger on the Tx forwards. The wheels should rotate in the direction to drive the model backwards.
If prior to doing this, the model was traveling forward, the model’s breaks will activate rather than shifting the
model directly into reverse.
16
www.pilotage-rc.com
NOTE: This model has a reverse function. In order to protect the gears from stripping and becoming damaged
the model will not allow the model to go from forward directly into reverse. If moving forward, and then the
trigger is extending outward the breaks will rst engage until the model is brought to a halt. Then return the
throttle trigger to the neutral position and extend the throttle trigger outward again and the model will move in
reverse.
17
Electronic Speed Control
The stock electronic speed controller is specially matched with this model and requires no setup, programming,
or special calibration.
RUNNING YOUR MODEL
1. Check that the batteries in the Tx are fresh and/or fully charged.
2. Check that the battery pack for the model is fully charged.
3. Remove the body clips.
4. Remove the lexan body from the model.
5. Check that the switch on the model is in the “o” position.
6. Remove the clips from the battery retention plate.
7. Remove the battery retention plate.
8. Connect the battery output lead with the ESC input lead.
9. Position the battery onto the designated platform on the chassis.
10. Place the battery retention plate on top of the battery and secure it into place with the provided clips.
11. Turn the Tx “on”.
12. Turn the model “on.”
13. Replace the body onto the model.
14. Your model is now ready to use.
DRIVING PRACTICE
Fundamentals
First try controlling your model at low speeds in the patterns as illustrated. Continue performing these patterns
until you feel comfortable with the controls of the model. Farmiliarize yourself with how the throttle and steering
commands perfom at various speeds. Once you feel comfortable at doing these patterns at higer speeds reverse
the direction. Once you have a solid grasp of the fundamentals can you start go to a track and participate in
wider rc events.

Cornering
• Prior to entering a corner smootnly reduce your speed to the point where the model maintains traction
and does not slide laterally while in a turn. While conrnering maintain the throttle to keep your RPMs up to
resume acceleration quickly once the cornering has been completled and so that tourqe on the wheels is
constantly present.
• Once the model has reduced its speed, evenly angel the model into the curve. Select a trajectory so that the
shapest pont of the inside edge of the curve is in the center of your models curve line as illustrated in the
diagrams above. This point is called the apex of the turn. Select a path so that the model will come closest
to the apex while maintaining as wide a turn radius as possible. Once the model passes the apex gradually
begin to streightn out the wheels and smoothly increase speed and prepair for your next turn in the course.
• Never make sharp or jerky motions while cornering. Doing so will only risk ipping your model or
signicantly reducing your speed while unessesarily cutting down on your intertia.
Jumping
• While performing jumps you can adjust your model’s orientation in the air.
• In order to lift the nose of your model while jumping, increase the rpms of your motor.
• In order to lower the nose of your model, activate the breaks while airborne.
• In order to slightly adjust the left/right trajectory of your model, turn the tires of the model in the desired
directon.
• When landing the wheels on the model should be straight.
In most cases jumps should be approached in the following manner:
• Build up enough speed to travel through the air between the jump gap.
• Hold the speed level stable while approaching the incline on the jump.
• Once the front tires touch the beginning of the incline drop the throttle and allow the intertia to carry the
model through the air.
• Once the jump is complete smoothly increase the throttle and continue on your way.
Advice when running on rough surfaces
When running on uneven surfaces keep your traction buy puming the throttle. Keep the RPMs of the model
constant but pump the gas to maintain the speed rather than holding a constand level on the throttle. You
should see immediate improvement due to this.
