IMPORTANT  READ THIS BEFORE RUNNING

PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE PRODUCTS AND CONTROL BEFORE
OPERATION.

This product is not a toy. It is a high performance model product. It is important to familiarize yourself with the model, its
manual, and its construction before assembly and operation. Adult supervision is necessary

CAUTION

To avoid serious personal injury and property damage, operate all remotely controlled models in a responsive manner as out­lined below.
R/C car models can exceed speeds of 50km/h (31.07 mph), and cannot be stopped quickly.

❶ Never run R/C models on the street or highways, as it could cause or contribute to serious trac accidents.
❷ Never run an R/C model near people or animals, nor use people or animals as obstacles when operation R/C vehicles.
❸ To avoid injury to persons or animals, and damage to property, never run a R/C model in a confined or crowed area.
❹ Running R/C models into furniture or other inanimate objects will cause damage to the objects and the R/C models.

CAUTION DURING OPERATIONS

When the R/C model is in operation, dot not touch any of its moving parts, such as drive shafts, wheels, as the rotating parts
can cause serious injury.

❶ The vehicle motor gets very hot during running and could cause burns if touched.
❷ Properly connect plugs. To prevent electrical shock and/or damage to the product resulting from a short-circuit; insulate

connections with heat shrink tubing or electrical tape. Before running vehicle, check that battery wiring and plugs are not so
loose as to drag on the ground. Properly secure cables using electrical tape or nylon tie-wraps.

❸ Sti rotation of gears, shafts, joints and wheels can burn out the motor. It’s recommended to check proper joint and shaft

rotation by using one 1,5V dry cell during assembly of the model.

❹ R/C models will run out of control when either the receiver or transmitter battery voltage drops o. Stop the vehicle

immediately when the car starts to show down to prevent it from running out of control.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Follow the outlined rules for safe radio control operation.
Avoid running the car in crowed area and near small children.
Avoid running in standing water and rain. If R/C unit, motor, or battery get wet, clean and dry throughly in a dry shaded area.
R/C operating procedures

❶ Make sure the transmitter controls and trims are in neutral. Switch on transmitter.
❷ Switch on receiver.
❸ Inspect operation using transmitter before running.
❹ Adjust steering servo and trim so that the model runs straight with transmitter in neutral.
❺ Reverse sequence to shut down after running.
❻ Make sure to disconnect/remove all batteries.
❼ Completely remove sand, mud, dirt etc
❽ Store the car and batteries separately when not in use

SETTING UP THE MODEL

To greatly enhance the overall performance of your car, it’s necessary to tune the vehicle to the track (and its surface
conditions) on which you will be racing. Make adjustments referring to the instruction manual, keeping in mind that “balance” is
the key word.

❶ Tires
Tires have a great influence on the performance of your car, and are normally the first components tuned. Select the right tires
for the track you are racing on.

❷ Toe-in and Toe-out
Adjusting the car toe-in a little, by pointing the wheel inwards, provides the car with good straight running and moderate
steering characteristics. Toe-out, which point the wheels outwards, gives sharp and crisp steering. Take care not to overdo.

❸ Camber angle
While taking the corners, the car is forced to go outwards, causing instability. The area of contact on each tire is determined
by the camber angle, and therefore the traction of the tires can be made greater or lesser by adjustment of camber angle. To
increase traction during cornering, adjust camber angle negative, and reduce traction, adjust for positive camber.

❹ Ground clearance and suspension drop
Ground clearance and/or rebound stroke has a great eect on stability during cornering, acceleration, and braking. Ground
clearance can be adjusted by altering damper spring tension and stiness.

❺ Gear ratio
Proper gear ratio should be determined by the available output power of the engine; type of battery; track condition and layout
It should be also noted that running the car on a good grip surface suggests use of clutch bell 1 teeth smaller, in order to
eectively use all of the available engine power.

ABOUT THe RAdIO SYSTeM

Reversing is used to change the response direction of steering wheel and
throttle trigger.
KT2S Transmitter features 2 reversing functions: Steering Reverse and

Throttle Reverse.
Steering Reverse: Reverse the response direction when operating steering

wheel. Turning left steering wheel, the model turns right while turning right
the model turns left.
Throttle Reverse: Reverse the response direction when operating throttle
trigger. Pushing forward throttle trigger the model moves backward while
pulling back, the model moves forward.

Adjustable Steering Rate enables to adjust the same maximum steering angle of servo on both sides (Left and Right) when model makes steering. The
Adjustable Steering Rate aects the sensitivity of servo. Reducing dual rate value can lower the sensitivity of servo and reduce the same maximum steering
angle on both sides. Remember to adjust the dual rate value within the adjustment range.

KT2S features two trimming functions:

Steering Trim and Throttle Trim.
Steering Trim Dial:

Adjust the neutral position of steering servo when the wheels are straight
ahead. Normally steering trim is adjusted until the model can keep straight
tracks.
Throttle Trim Dial:
Adjust neutral position of throttle servo. Make sure the model stays still
when releasing the throttle trigger.

SAFETY

❶ The engine is not a toy. Its power mights injure you, please use it carefully. Owners have responsibility for your safety when operating to use your motor
❷ It is advisable to ask a competent person during first running
❸ Check if the engine installed correctly in the remote car.

GLOW PLUG

(not included)

Install a plug suitable for the engine. The compatibility of glow plug may have a marked eect on performance and reliability. Particulary in the case of very high
performance engines, glow plug must be regarded as expendable. However, plug life can be extended and engine performance maintained by careful use.

FIRST RUNNING

This engine is of high technology, if you are not sure how to maintain or repair your engine, you must ask a competent person. A running in period is necessary
for your engine. The proper running in of your engine determines its eventual performance and life. During the running in period, it is advisable to use fuel
with more oil content. The carburator had a basic setting before turning out from our factory. But we recommended to loosen the main needle (3) (around
one turn) before the running in procedure.
During the running in period, it is advisable to use your engine at 50-75% of its performance, during 1 or 1,5 litre.
During the running-in period the engine must always have a good and constant idle and have plenty of smoke and excessive fuel coming out of the stinger.

ATTENTION ! The proper running in of your engine determines its eventual performance and life time, you can shorten the life time and performance

dramatically, and you can also permanently damage the engine.

ADVISE TO MAINTAIN

❶ A properly maintained air filter is essential to the life and performance of every nitro engine. Never run your engine without an air filter or properly air filter

because dust and dirt will enter inside the engine and irreversibly damage and shorten its life cycle.

❷ Clean the outside of the engine with petrol product only. Never clean the engine with water.
❸ Check regulary for dierent leaks engine

IMPORTANT  LIRE AVANT DE DÉMARRER

LIRE CES INSTRUCTIONS ET SE FAMILIARISER AVEC LE PRODUIT AVANT DE S’EN SERVIR.

Ce produit n’est pas un jouet. C’est un modèle réduit de haute performance. Il est important de se familiariser avec le modèle,
son manuel et sa construction avant l’assemblage et le fonctionnement. La surveillance d’un adulte est nécessaire.

ATTENTION

Afin d’éviter tout dommage à des personnes ou à des biens, utiliser le modèle radio-commandé de manière responsable
comme décrit ci-après. Les modèles radio commandés peuvent atteindre des vitesses supérieures à 40km/h (25mph) et ne
peuvent s’arrêter instantanément.
❶ Ne jamais conduire le modèle radio-commandé sur les routes et dans les rues car il pourrait provoquer des accidents qui

causeraient de graves dommages.

❷ Ne pas rouler près de personnes ou d’animaux. Ne pas utiliser les personnes ou animaux comme obstacles.
❸ Pour éviter tout dommage aux personnes et animaux, ne pas conduire dans un endroit bruyant ou trop exigü.
❹ Piloter le modèle radio-commandé à l’intérieur entre des objets statiques peut causer des dommages aux objets et au

modèle radio-commandé.

PRÉCAUTIONS A OBSERVER PENDANT L’UTILISATION

Lorsque le modèle R/C est en marche, ne jamais toucher les parties en mouvement (transmission, roues, engrenages…)
❶ Quand le modèle roule, son moteur fonctionne continuellement et il chaue. Il peut atteindre une température élevée.

Ne pas le toucher, risque de brûlures. Faire Attention !

❷ Préserver tous les fils des frottements et des pièces en rotation. Veiller à ce que les connecteurs soient bien enfichés et les

sécuriser avec la gaine thermorétractable ou de la bande adhésive d’isolation. Fixer les câbles au châssis avec des colliers en
nylon. Réparer immédiatement les fils et les connexions endommagés.

❸ Le moteur risque d’être endommagé si toutes les pièces en mouvement ne tournent pas librement : roues, axes de

transmission, pignonnerie…Il est important de vérifier régulièrement que toutes ces pièces et le moteur sont en bon état.
Dans le cas contraire, les changer immédiatement.

❹ Si l’accu devient trop faible pour alimenter le récepteur, le contrôle du modèle est perdu. Arrêter le modèle quand il

commence à ralentir pour éviter de perdre le contrôle.

CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ

- Ne pas faire fonctionner le modèle au milieu d’enfants ou de la foule.

- Vérifier que personne d’autre n’utilise la même fréquence dans le même secteur car cela pourrait provoquer de sérieux incidents.

- Ne pas rouler dans l’eau ou sous la pluie. Si le moteur, le dispositif électrique ou l’accumulateur est mouillé, le sécher immédiatement.
Ordre de fonctionnement fondamental du modèle sans fil:

❶ Allumer l’émetteur après avoir mis le trim de gaz à la position neutre.
❷ Brancher le contact du récepteur.
❸ Avant de faire fonctionner, s’assurer du bon fonctionnement des 2 voies de votre émetteur.
❹ Régler le trim du volant, agir sur le curseur pour que le modèle puisse avancer droit.
❺ Après avoir arrêté de conduire, arrêter le récepteur et ensuite la radiocommande.
❻ Débrancher tous les accumulateurs.
❼ A la fin de chaque fonctionnement, nettoyer l’ensemble du modèle.

RÉGLAGES

Pour augmenter les performances du modèle, il est nécessaire de le régler en fonction de la surface et du tracé du circuit sur lequel il
roulera. Faire les réglages en se référant aux instructions de ce manuel.
Garder à l’esprit que « l’équilibre » est le maître mot.

❶ Pneus - Les pneus ont une grande influence sur les performances de la voiture et sont normalement les premiers composants qu’il
faut modifier en fonction du circuit. Sélectionner les bons pneus pour le circuit où le modèle roulera en fonction de la surface et/ou des
conditions atmosphériques.

❷ Pincement et ouverture - Régler le modèle avec un peu de pincement procure un meilleur maintien du cap en ligne droite mais
diminue le rayon de braquage. L’ouverture procure une direction plus marquée et plus incisive, elle permet de tourner plus court.
Exagérer les modifications réduira les facultés du modèle.

❸ Carrossage positif & négatif - Lorsque le modèle tourne dans un virage, il subit la force centrifuge qui le pousse à l’extérieur du
virage, cela provoque une perte d’adhérence et de stabilité. La surface de contact de chaque pneu avec le sol est déterminée par l’angle
de carrossage. La traction des pneus peut être augmentée ou diminuée en modifiant le carrossage.
Pour augmenter l’adhérence dans les virages il faut augmenter le carrossage négatif. Pour réduire l’adhérence, augmenter le carrossage
positif.

❹ Garde au sol & débattement de la suspension - La garde au sol et le débattement des suspensions ont un eet direct sur la stabilité
en virage, accélération, freinage. La garde au sol peut être ajustée en modifiant la tension des ressorts des amortisseurs.

❺ Rapport de transmission - Le bon rapport de transmission est déterminé par la puissance du moteur + les conditions du circuit.
