Quick Start Guide
Before you start running your new Mini-V, it is absolutely necessary that you read
through all of the operating instructions to prevent unnecessary damage and get the
maximum enjoyment from your boat.
Step 1
Plug the AC charger into the proper wall receptacle (110V).
Plug the battery pack into the charger and let it charge for
1 hour for the rst time. Closely monitor the battery
temperature for the next hour. If the battery begins to warm,
stop charging immediately.
After running, or when the Mini-V slows noticeably, recharge
the battery pack for 1–2 hours for a full charge. Be sure
to charge the battery on a non-ammable surface. Overcharging can damage the battery and cause injury or re.
Never charge the battery while it is mounted in the Mini-V and
allow it to cool after each run.
Step 2
Remove the transmitter battery cover by sliding the cover
from left to right. Install eight (8) AA batteries into the battery
holder. Pay close attention to the correct direction of the
positive (+) and negative (-) ends as marked in the tray. Once
all 8 batteries have been installed, reinstall the battery cover
by sliding it on from right to left.

Th. Rev.
On
Always turn on the transmitter rst by sliding the switch
on the rear of the transmitter upwards. The small
red and green lights on the side of the transmitter
should both light up. If not, you need to check for low or
incorrectly installed batteries.
Step 6
St. Rev.
If you nd the steering or throttle operate backwards
as described in Step 6, you may need to switch the
servo reversing as shown. In addition, you may also
turn the dual rate dial down to reduce rudder travel in
rough water conditions.

Forward
Once the transmitter has been turned on, turn on the MiniV by sliding the switch on the speed controller to the “On”
position. If the propeller spins, adjust the “Th. Trim” knob
located to the lower right of the steering wheel until it stops.
To go forward, pull the trigger back. If you should need
reverse, wait for the model to stop then push the trigger
forward. When going forward the model should move in a
straight line. If not, adjust the “St. Trim” so that it tracks in a
straight line without having to turn the steering wheel. After
you are have nished, turn the Mini-V receiver off FIRST by
sliding the switch to the “OFF” position. After the model has
been turned off, turn off the transmitter.
