Battery Chemistry Switch
This switch allows the ESC to detect voltage. When the switch is in the OFF position, low voltage cutoff (LVC) is disabled. You will know you have reached LVC when the motor power decreases while the boat is in operation.
Li-Po: move the battery chemistry switch to the ON position
Ni-MH: move the battery chemistry switch to the OFF position.
Tip: The ESC programming card (DYNM3821, sold separately) allows the consumer to adjust low voltage cutoff and other ESC programming.
Battery Safety Precautions
• When using a Li-Po battery, always ensure the Battery Chemistry Switch is in the ON position.
• Never discharge a Li-Po battery below 3V per cell.
Installing the Battery Packs
1. Turn the latch so the tab is parallel with the back of the hull, then lift the hatch up and back from the hull.
2. Remove the radio box cover.
3. Install the included hook and loop tape on the battery packs. Install the battery on the hook and loop strips in the compartment.
At the factory, the ESC is programmed at High Cutoff. High Cutoff: The Ni-MH cutoff voltage is .9 volts per
cell and the Li-Po cutoff is 3.3 volts per cell. High Cutoff allows ample power in reserve after cutoff for returning the boat to shore.
Low Cutoff: The Ni-MH cutoff voltage is .7 volts per cell and the Li-Po cutoff is 3.0 volts per cell. Low Cutoff allows longer run times, but leaves less power in reserve after cutoff for returning the boat to shore.
• Always disconnect a battery from the ESC when not in use.
• Avoid continually operating to LVC, as this could result in damage to the battery.
Tip: Move the packs forward or back to adjust the center of gravity for your boat. Move the packs toward the bow so the bow rides lower in the water. Move the packs away from the bow so that the bow rides higher in the water.
4. Connect the battery pack to the ESC power connectors, as needed.
5. Disassemble in reverse order.

Antenna Tube Installation
1. Carefully feed the end of the receiver antenna through the grommet inside the hull.
2. Pull the antenna wire out of the grommet towards the outside of the boat, then slide the antenna through the antenna tube.
3. Insert the tube into the grommet, then fit the cap onto the tube.
3
4. Apply clear tape to the antenna, grommet and hull in the boat to keep the antenna from moving. The antenna must be installed above the boat's waterline to get the best reception of your transmitter's signal.
Arrange the shorter antenna in the hull at a right or near 90 degree angle to the antenna in the tube. Attach the antenna inside the hull, away from all electrical wiring and components, using clear tape.

Failsafe
In the unlikely event that the radio connection is lost during use, the receiver will drive the servos to their preprogrammed failsafe positions (normally no throttle and straight steering). If the receiver is powered on before powering on the transmitter, the receiver will enter failsafe mode, driving the servos to their preset failsafe positions. When the transmitter is powered on, normal control is resumed. Failsafe servo positions are set during binding.

Binding
Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter. The DX2E and MR200 are bound at the factory. If you need to rebind, follow the instructions below.
1. With the receiver off, insert the bind plug into the BND/BAT port on the receiver.
2. When a battery is connected to the ESC and the ESC is connected to the throttle port on the receiver, power on the ESC switch. An LED on the receiver will flash rapidly, showing the receiver is in Bind mode.
3. Do not touch the throttle or steering controls, as this sets failsafe settings. The throttle and throttle trim should always be at the lowest setting during bind mode. Press and hold the bind button and power on the transmitter. The green LED on the front of the transmitter will flash within three seconds, indicating the transmitter is in bind mode.
Testing Your Boat in the Water
1. Carefully place the boat in the water.
2. Operate the boat at slow speeds near the shoreline. Avoid objects in the water at all times. When the boat is moving forward, ensure water flows out of the coolant outlet. Remove any blockage from the rudder inlet and coolant system or the motor and ESC (electronic speed control) may overheat.
3. Once you are comfortable operating the boat at slow speeds, it is safe to operate the boat farther from the shore.
Tip: If you are using too much steering trim on your transmitter to make the boat drive straight, return the trim to neutral and mechanically center the rudder. To do this, loosen the ball link from the rudder horn, then turn the ball link on the linkage threads until the rudder is properly centered.
4. Release the bind button when the green LED flashes.

5. The receiver's LED will turn solid when the transmitter and receiver are bound.
6. Remove the bind plug and store it in a convenient place.
You must rebind when:
• Different failsafe positions are desired e.g., when throttle or steering reversing has been changed.
• Changing receiver types e.g., changing from a DSM receiver to a DSM2® or Marine receiver.
• Binding the receiver to a different transmitter.
4. Bring the boat back to shore when you notice the boat starting to lose speed.
5. Power off the ESC and disconnect the battery packs.
6. Allow the motor, ESC and battery packs to cool before charging the batteries or operating the boat again.
NOTICE: Do not turn off the transmitter first or the receiver may pick up stray signals and run out of control.

Boating Tips
Avoid boating near other watercraft, stationary objects, waves, wakes and other rapidly moving water, wildlife, floating debris or overhanging trees. You should also be careful to avoid boating in areas where there are many people, such as swimming areas, park waterways or fishing areas. Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to pilot your boat.
Maximum speeds are only achieved when the water conditions are smooth and there is little wind. A sharp turn, wind or waves can turn over a boat when it is moving quickly. Always pilot your boat for the wind and water conditions so that the boat does not turn over.
When running your boat for the first time, we recommend calm wind and water conditions so that you can learn how the boat responds to your control.
Miss Geico 29
When making turns, decrease the throttle position in order to decrease speed and probability of flipping the boat over.
NOTICE: When running at full speed in choppy waters, the prop may exit and re-enter the water repeatedly and very quickly, subjecting the propeller to some stress. Frequent stress may damage the propeller.
CAUTION: Never retrieve your boat from the water in extreme temperatures, turbulence or without supervision.

EN
Center of Gravity
Moving the batteries to the front or back of the compartment can significantly affect the boat's performance.
1. Move the batteries toward the rear of the boat to raise the front of the hull for increased speed.
Drive Height
Lowering the drive will increase the propeller's ability to bite at take off, but excessive lowering can cause the back of the boat to feel loose and decrease top end stability. Raising the drive helps eliminate oscillation or bouncing and assist with top end stability, but excessively raising the drive can reduce top speeds and cause cavitation. If the conditions are questionable, adjust the prop strut down a bit to reduce the likelihood of having the boat overturn. The motor mount is slotted to allow you to move the motor slightly when adjusting the propeller strut.
Loosen the motor mounting screws (A) when adjusting the propeller strut angle trim and retighten after adjustment is complete. Use a 3mm hex wrench and 7mm nut driver to loosen the bolt that attaches the output to the bracket to adjust the height. Raise or lower the prop strut. Tighten the bolt when adjustment is complete. You may also turn the dual rate dial down to reduce rudder travel in rough water conditions.
2. Move the batteries toward the front of the boat for faster initial acceleration to eliminate oscillation or bouncing, and to increase stability.
A
Motor Care
• Prolong motor life by preventing overheating conditions. Undue motor wear results from frequent turns, stops and starts, pushing objects, boating in rough water or vegetation and boating continuously at high speed.
• Over-temperature protection is installed on the ESC to prevent circuit damage, but cannot protect the motor from pushing against heavy resistance.
When You are Finished
1. Power off the ESC.
2. Disconnect the batteries.
3. Power off the transmitter.
4. Remove the batteries from the boat.
Tip: Always store the boat open (without the hatch and inner liner sealed) or moisture may cause mold and mildew to grow in the boat.

Maintenance
Always replace the flex shaft when it is damaged or shows visible wear or injury and property damage may result.
Lubricating the flex shaft is vital to the life of the drivetrain. The lubricant also acts as a water seal, keeping water from entering the hull through the stuffing box.
Lubricate the flex shaft, propeller shaft and all moving parts after every 2–3 hours of operation. Always replace any parts that show visible wear or damage.
1. In the hull, use tools to loosen the collet nut (A) from the flex shaft (B).
A
B
2. Turn the rudder (C) and remove the flex shaft from the stuffing box (D) and drive strut (E) at the rear of the boat.
Tip: Use paper or cloth to touch the flex shaft.
4. Carefully reinstall the flex shaft in the drive strut, stuffing box and collet. If the flex shaft is difficult to remove or install in the collet, use a flat screwdriver to spread the grips of the collet. Ensure there is a 1–2mm gap and a washer (F) between the drive strut and drive dog (G) to allow for flex shaft shrinkage under load

ESC
The included ESC programming card (DYNM3821) allows you to quickly program your Dynamite® Marine Brushless ESC control settings.
Programmable Settings
Throttle Reverse: ON or OFF Cutoff Voltage: High Cutoff or Low Cutoff
High Cutoff: The Ni-MH Cutoff voltage is .9 volts per cell and the Li-Po Cutoff is 3.3 volts per cell. High Cutoff allows ample power in reserve after Cutoff for returning the boat to shore.
Low Cutoff: The Ni-MH Cutoff voltage is .7 volts per cell and the Li-Po Cutoff is 3.0 volts per cell. Low Cutoff allows longer run times, but leaves less power in reserve after Cutoff for returning the boat to shore.
Cutoff Type: Idle or Slow Down
Idle: When the Cutoff voltage is reached, the ESC will stop delivering power to the motor.
Slow Down: When the Cutoff voltage is reached, the ESC will drop to 50% power at full throttle.
To reset, return the throttle to neutral.
Brake: ON or OFF
ON: The boat will stop immediately when the throttle is returned to neutral.
OFF: The boat will coast to a stop.
Timing: Low Timing or High Timing
Low Timing: For 2-, 4- or 6-pole inrunner motors. Allows the longest run times.
High Timing: For 6-pole or more inrunner and outrunner motors.
High timing increases both motor RPM and current draw (up to 20% increase compared to low timing) using the same battery pack and prop. Run times will be signicantly reduced.
Only use High Timing if the temperatures of the electronic components do not exceed 130°F (54°C) in Low Timing mode.
Throttle Curve: Linear or Logarithm
Linear: The ESC delivers 60% power at half throttle and 100% power at full throttle.
Logarithm: The ESC delivers 45% power at half throttle and 80% power at full throttle (recommended for beginners).
ESC Factory Settings
Reverse On Cutoff voltage High Cutoff type Idle Brake On Timing Low Throttle Curve Logarithmic
Using the ESC Programming Card
1. Set all programming card setting switches to the desired positions.
2. Ensure the ESC is powered OFF and disconnected from the batteries.
3. Connect the ESC receiver lead to the ESC port on the programming card, noting proper polarity.
4. Connect a fully charged battery to the ESC or the programming card, then power on the ESC.
5. The ESC will beep, indicating that the new programming has been accepted.
6. After programming is completed, power OFF the ESC, disconnect the ESC receiver lead from the programming card and reconnect it to the throttle port on the receiver, noting proper polarity.
