Postavljanje

1. Početni pregled

Upon unboxing, carefully inspect the vehicle for any signs of damage during transit. Ensure all components listed in the packaging are present.

2. Ugradnja i punjenje baterije

The FTX Stinger comes with a Voltz 2S 2500mAh Lipo battery. Before first use, fully charge the battery using a compatible LiPo charger (not included unless specified). Always follow the charger's instructions and LiPo battery safety guidelines.

1. Locate the battery compartment on the chassis.
2. Securely insert the charged Voltz 2S 2500mAh Lipo battery.
3. Connect the battery to the Electronic Speed Controller (ESC).

3. Transmitter Setup and Binding

Your RC car is Ready-to-Run (RTR), meaning the transmitter and receiver are pre-bound. If re-binding is necessary, refer to the specific instructions provided with your radio system.

4. Pre-Run Checks

• Ensure all screws are tight, especially on suspension components and motor mounts.
• Check that the steering servo operates freely and the wheels turn correctly.
• Verify that the throttle responds smoothly and the motor spins in the correct direction.
• Confirm the battery is fully charged and securely installed.

Upute za rad

1. Osnovne kontrole

• Leptir za gas: Pull the trigger on the transmitter to accelerate forward. Push the trigger to brake, then push again for reverse.
• Upravljanje: Turn the steering wheel on the transmitter left or right to control the direction of the vehicle.

2. Driving Tips

The FTX Stinger is versatile, capable of both high-grip street racing and controlled drifting. It comes with two sets of tires: treaded rubber tires for street racing (25mm front, 30mm rear for stability) and hard plastic drift tires for lateral sliding.

• Street Driving: Use the rubber tires for maximum grip and speed. Practice smooth throttle and steering inputs for optimal control.
• Drift Driving: Switch to the hard plastic tires. Initiate drifts by applying throttle and steering into the turn, then counter-steer to maintain the slide.
• Gyro Stability Control: The vehicle features an optional gyro stability control system. This can assist in maintaining control during high-speed maneuvers or drifts, especially for beginners. Refer to your radio system's manual for adjustment.

3. Kontrola LED svjetla

The Stinger is equipped with a multifunction LED light set, including molded front grille and light buckets. These lights can be controlled via the transmitter, enhancing realism and visibility.
