PLEASE READ BEFORE STARTING!

Before you throw down this manual and unleash your new Blade™, please continue reading for just a few short minutes. In addition to important safety precautions, just below you will also nd some quick tips for getting the maximum enjoyment out of your new Blade™. We would sincerely like to thank you for your purchase and hope that you enjoy the wonderful amount of fun and excitement that come from owning a high performance R/C vehicle. Whether you’ll be hitting your local racetrack this coming weekend or just racing your buddies down the driveway, experienced racers and novices alike are sure to enjoy the performance and versatility of the Blade™ 1/18 4WD truck.

SAFETY GUIDELINES

The Blade™ is not intended for use by children without direct supervision of a responsible, knowledgeable adult. Trinity Products Inc. shall not be liable for any loss or damages, whether direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential, arising from the use, misuse, or abuse of this product and/or any product or accessory required to operate this product.

IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER:

Always, turn on your transmitter rst before turning on your vehicle’s receiver switch. When turning an R/C vehicle off, the order is just the opposite; Turn the receiver switch off rst and then turn the transmitter off. Just remember that when your truck is turned ON, your transmitter should always be turned ON. If not, your Blade™ will no longer be under the control of your transmitter, and could unexpectedly take off on its own, causing damage to itself and other people.

Never use old, worn out batteries in your transmitter or truck. Use only fresh alkaline batteries or fully charged rechargeable batteries to ensure that you will not exceed the range of your radio system while driving your truck. It is also very important to stop your truck immediately when you begin to see that it is slowing down. This means the batteries in your truck are close to being fully discharged, and if you continue to run your truck after it has slowed, it may run “out of control” since it does not have sufcient voltage left to receive the signals from your transmitter.

Only run your Blade™ in safe, open areas that will not put anything or anyone in danger of a collision. Use common sense when driving your truck to ensure that you are not causing a potential hazard to anyone (crowds of people and conned areas should be avoided). Although the Blade™ is small and lightweight, it can still hurt when it runs into you at ankle height. It can also startle someone who is not expecting it, so it is extremely important to ALWAYS keep a safe distance between any people and the path of your truck (don’t forget this includes yourself)!

Never run your Blade™ through puddles, wet grass, snow or any other type of moisture. Also never use any liquid cleaners around the electronic components on your Blade™. Any small amount of moisture can cause severe damage to your electronics.

If you will be running your Blade™ with other R/C vehicles, always conrm before turning your transmitter on, that no one else is using your same frequency channel. If necessary, you may change frequencies (see section # 6 “Running Multiple Blades™ Together”).

Always let your motor and battery cool down completely between runs. The motor needs to cool completely at the end of a charge before using again. Heat is a big enemy of electric motors. Over heating the motor will shorten its life and can cause it to fail. Prolonged running on high drag surfaces like grass, carpet etc. can heat the motor up and cause possible failure.

WHAT ELSE IS NEEDED:

TRI90010, Blade™ Ready-to-Run: 8 “AA” alkaline batteries (for the radio transmitter)

TRI90009, Blade™ Pro Rolling Chassis: 2-channel radio transmitter and mini receiver Mini electronic speed control Micro Monster™ motor (TRI11990) Correct pinion gear for choosen motor 6-Cell 7.2V mini battery pack (Trinity #TRI30582)

7.2V/300mA battery charger (Trinity #TRI30583) 8 “AA” alkaline batteries (for the radio transmitter)

GETTING STARTED

If you have purchased the Ready-to -Run (RTR) version of the Blade™ (TRI900010), please skip ahead to Step 3. Step numbers 1 and 2 apply only to the ProRolling Chassis version of the Blade™ (TRI90009).

1. INSTALLING RADIO GEAR

Install your 2-channel receiver and speed control (ESC) as shown using double sided “servo” tape. The speed control goes on top of the steering servo and the reciever on the top plate. This keeps the weight the lowest as the speed control is heavier than the receiver. You can of course use any layout that suits your electronics best.

Before plugging the servo connector into your receiver, please check and conrm that you have the correct orientation of the three servo wires (black, red, and white) for the brand of receiver you are using. You may use the diagram below to check the proper orientation of the wires, but you must also make sure that you plug in the connector in the right direction. To conrm this, make sure the three servo wires are in the same order as your three speed control wires.

Only after you are condent that you have the servo connector orientation correct, plug the servo into channel 1 on your receiver (your speed control plugs into channel 2).

CAUTION! Improper installation of the servo wires may cause damage to the receiver, servo, and speed control.

If you do need to change the position of the three wires in your servo connector, you may do so by gently lifting up on the plastic tabs with a small athead screwdriver. At the same time, lightly pull out on the lead wires to remove them from the plastic housing. Simply re-install the black, red, and white lead wires into the correct slots for your brand of radio as shown here. Please Note: The white wire aligns with the unmarked slot in the diagram.

2. INSTALLING MOTOR

Install your choice of a Micro Monster™ sized R/C motor. Please Note: Not only does the stock motor (TRI30538, included in your Blade ready to run) t, but our entire line of Micro Monster™ motors also bolt right in without modication. Our Micro Monster™ line of high performance hop-up motors includes the following part numbers (TRI11990, TRI11992, TRI11993, TRI11994, and TRI11995). Please feel free to check out our website: (www.teamtrinity.com) for further information each available motor.

For step-by-step instructions on how to install your motor, please refer to Section 10: “CHANGING MOTORS”.

Page 3

3. INSTALLING TRANSMITTER BATTERIES

Install 8 new “AA” batteries into your Blade™ transmitter.

Check the life and proper installation of your batteries by switching the transmitter to on. On RTR Blade™ transmitters, you should see all three LED’s light up (red, yellow, and green). If you do not, your batteries may be low on voltage or you may not have installed them all correctly.

As the life of your transmitter batteries begins to decline, the green LED will no longer light. When you notice that you are down to only the yellow and red lights, this is a caution sign that it is time to install new batteries. If you continue operating your Blade™ and see that the yellow light goes out (and only the red light is lit), STOP IMMEDIATELY! Your Blade™ may easily travel out of range causing you to lose all control, which could result in a collision causing damage to the vehicle or other property.

6. LEARNING THE TRANSMITTER

Before turning on your Blade™, please familiarize yourself with the controls and adjustments of the radio transmitter. You may use the following diagram to conrm the location and function of each of these features.

A - ON/OFF Switch: Controls power to the transmitter.

B - Steering Wheel: Steers the vehicle left and right.

C - Throttle Trigger: Controls the speed and the forward/reverse direction of the vehicle.

D - Throttle Trim: Adjusts the neutral position of the throttle so your truck responds correctly to the trigger.

E - Steering Trim: Adjusts the center position of the steering so your truck travels straight.

F - Throttle Reverse Switch: Reverses the forward/ reverse direction of your throttle trigger.

4. CHARGING YOUR BLADE

Charge your Blade’s™ battery pack. Connect the charger to your battery pack (it will only plug in one direction) and then plug the charger into a standard wall outlet (110V AC). Charging takes approximately 3 hours. When the battery is charged unplug the charger and connect the battery to your speed control’s battery plug.

Your Blade charger will safely charge your battery pack and not over charge it. Be careful when using after market chargers that you do not overcharge the battery pack and ruin it.

5. ASSEMBLING THE ANTENNA

Locate the plastic antenna tube (found inside the styrofoam carton just above the truck). Also locate the black antenna wire coming out the front of your receiver case (on RTR Blade™ models).

Run the antenna wire up through the rear antenna mount hole in the upper chassis plate and begin feeding it into the plastic antenna tube until it comes out the other side. Pull the remaining wire through the tube, and then press the tube into the antenna mount in the upper chassis plate. Bend the antenna wire down around the tube and install the black rubber antenna cap on the top of the tube. You may then wrap the remaining wire around the tube.

G - Steering Reverse Switch: Reverses the left/right direction of the steering wheel.

H - Antenna: Transmits radio signals to your receiver.

I - Frequency Crystal: Controls the operating frequency (channel) of your transmitter.

J - Battery Power Indicators: Signal when it is time to replace your transmitter batteries.

Please familiarize yourself with the function of the steering and throttle controls as shown directly to the right. Unlike most other pistol grip style radio systems, the reverse function of the Blade™ differs in that pushing up on the throttle trigger only applies the brakes (with no worry of the truck suddenly slamming into reverse).

To switch the Blade™ into reverse you must push up on the throttle trigger a 2nd time. The Blade’s™ electronic speed control (ESC) was designed with this function to help prevent from accidentally jamming the vehicle from full forward speed into reverse (which could cause damage to the gearboxes).

DO NOT cut the antenna wire off! This could shorten the range of your radio system.

7. RUNNING MULTIPLE BLADES™

If you have some buddies that would like to get a RTR Blade™ of their own or already have friends with other Blades™ that you will be racing, it is very important that you rst check what frequency channel your Blade™ is on and conrm that none of your friends have the same frequency as you. For new RTR Blades™ (which still have the factory installed frequency crystals), you can simply use the chart on the right to quickly identify which frequency channel is in your Blade™.

If you do nd that someone else is using the same frequency channel that you are, you must either wait for them to turn their transmitter and vehicle OFF or you may choose to change the frequency crystals in your transmitter and receiver (so that you can run together at the same time without causing any radio interference). Additional frequency crystal sets can be purchased separately and installed in a few quick seconds.

To change frequency crystals simply remove the black plastic crystal holder from the back of your transmitter by carefully pulling it straight out. Slide the crystal out of the holder and install the new crystal labeled “T” in its place. Then carefully align the two pins that extend from the crystal with the socket in the back of your transmitter, and gently press it into place. DO NOT force the crystal! The pins can easily be broken!

Remove the crystal from your receiver in the

same careful manner using a pair of needle-nose pliers and install the new “R” crystal in its place. PLEASE NOTE: It is very important that the crystal labeled “T” is installed in the transmitter and the crystal marked “R” is installed in the receiver.

8. LET THE FUN BEGIN!

After reading all of the above information, you are likely ready to start racing! Just proceed as follows:

A. Fully extend the antenna on your transmitter. B. Turn your transmitter on. C. Turn your truck on. D. Adjust the “Throttle Trim” knob on your transmitter if necessary (if the wheels are moving forward without touching the trigger, turn the throttle trim counter clockwise until the wheels stop).

PLEASE NOTE: If you do not have any “reverse” when pushing the trigger forward twice, adjust the throttle trim further in the counter clockwise direction. If you pull the trigger all the way back to forward full speed and your truck stops, then adjust the throttle trim in the clockwise direction. But be careful not to go too far or your truck may not be able to reach full speed when pulling the trigger all the way back.

E. Adjust the “Steering Trim” knob on your transmitter if necessary (so your truck will travel in a straight line without turning the steering wheel). F. By now you are likely kicking up dust or burning up the asphalt. We highly recommend that you continue reading the remainder of this manual to nd out how you can get even more enjoyment out of your Blade™.

9. THE NEED FOR EVEN MORE SPEED?

There are a multitude of hop-up parts already available for your Blade™. Following is just a brief rundown of a few of the ways you can trick out and hop-up your new Blade™.

The RTR Blade™ comes included with a 6 -cell

7.2V 1100mAh Ni-MH un-matched battery pack which provides great speed and runtime for an economical price.

However, if you are planning on racing competitively or you simply want the fastest Blade™ on your block, then a high voltage matched pack such as our new IB 1400 will make any motor faster and give you longer run times. These cells made by Intellect Battery Co. are the state of the art in Ni-MH cell technology packing more voltage and capacity into a cell of this size than any other manufacturer.

We chose the motor and gearing that’s included in the RTR Blade™ to provide a good balance of speed and runtime (if you have not already found out, the greater the speed you have the less runtime you will also have and vise-versa). But maybe you are not at all concerned with the length of runtime you will get from your Blade™, and all you want to do is go FAST! Then there are several ways to do just that.

There are many hop-up motors already on the market that t right into the Blade™, including all of the popular Micro Monster™ motors (TRI11993, may be used with stock speed control), (TRI11994, and TRI11995 need an after market speed control). All these motors require the use of smaller pinion gears than what comes stock with your Blade™. We recommend starting with a 13 tooth pinion.

The fastest motor for 1/18th scale is our hand wound Cobalt 18. This is available in both 14 and 16 turn versions (TRI11997, TRI11998). These motors require the use of smaller pinion gears. Start with a 9 tooth pinion gear on the 14 turn and a 10 tooth on the 16 turn. These, also require an aftermarket speed control.

The Cobalt 18 is made just like our bigger motors, sharing the same technology and assembly. The Cobalt 18 draws a lot more current and requires a good battery pack like our matched IB1400. These motors need to use smaller pinion gears.

Using too big of a pinion on a modied motor will cause it to over heat and fail.

We recommend also using the Blade heatsink on all modied motors. This will keep the motor cooler running (TRI30537).

When changing to a modied motor you need to upgrade your speed controller.

10. CHANGING MOTORS

To change motors, just remove the two 2 x 8mm button head screws from the motor mount that go up through the bottom of the chassis.

Next you will need to remove the pinion gear from the shaft of the motor. Slide a at blade screwdriver or similar tool behind the pinion, and carefully push it off the end of the shaft.

The pinion gear is a tight press t so that it will not slip during heavy acceleration. After removing and re-installing the pinion gear several times, you may notice that it is no longer a tight enough t to prevent any slipping. In this case we recommend replacing the stock pinion gear (TRI30534) or using an aftermarket metal pinion gear that is held on by a set screw (see “ADJUSTING THE GEARING” below). Next remove the two M2.5 x 8mm screws that hold the motor to the motor mount. Install your new motor in the reverse order then see the next section below for properly adjusting the gear mesh.

11. ADJUSTING THE GEARING

The stock pinion (17T) and spur gear (60T) that come installed on your Blade™ provide a good starting ratio for the stock motor when used with a 6 -cell 7.2V battery pack. Depending on the surface and layout on which you are running your Blade™, you may choose to adjust the gear ratio according to the following guidelines.

A lower gear ratio (smaller pinion gear) will yield more bottom end torque (quicker acceleration) and slightly more runtime, but a little slower top speed. This will better suit a smaller, tighter track where maximum acceleration is needed. Your motor will also last longer geared lower as there will be less load on the motor and it will run cooler.

A higher gear ratio (larger pinion gear) yields a slightly faster top speed, BUT less bottom end torque (slower acceleration) and less runtime. This will better suit a larger, faster track where you normally run the throttle pegged (wide open) most of the time, so the slower acceleration is acceptable.

The stock gear ratio will work with all stock micro motors. When changing to a faster motor you will need to use a smaller pinion gear to keep the motor from overheating and burning up. You will also need to change to an aftermarket speed control to handle the increased current.

Trinity has a red anodized aluminum pinion gear holder and sizer (TRI34087). Holds 8 pinions and has a gauge for telling the size of the gear.

To change pinion gears, rst remove your motor along with the old pinion gear (see “CHANGING MO TORS” opposite page). Install the new pinion gear and re-install your motor. When installing the two 2 x 8mm button head screws to secure the motor mount to the chassis, DO NOT fully tighten them. Leave them just loose enough so you can slide the motor in and out towards the spur gear.

You DO NOT want the pinion tight against the spur gear. There should be just enough space between the two gears to allow for a small amount of backlash (back and forth movement) so the gears do not bind. See the example diagram directly to the right. When you have the motor in this position, you may then fully tighten the motor mount screws. Always check the gear mesh one more time to conrm that the motor did not move when tightening the screws.

12. MORE PERFORMANCE

Aside from battery and motor upgrades, probably one of the single greatest enhancements you can give your Blade™ is a full set of ball bearings. You may have already noticed that the entire drive line is already fully supported with ball bearings from the factory (8 in all). The only bushings used on the Blade™ (which may easily be upgraded to ball bearings) are the two that support each of the wheel axles, 8 total (use #TRI30581 4x8x3mm ball bearings, 4 per package).

Oil- Filled Shocks: The Blade comes with oil lled shocks. Handling can be tuned by changing the oil used in the shocks. Use a heavier oil 20 to 30 weight on high traction surfaces and 10 weight on slippery or off-road tracks with jumps. Always try to run your truck as low as possible for maximum handling.

You will also nd many other additional hop-ups available for your Blade™ to further ne tune it to your specic needs (including tires, bodies, light kits, etc., etc.). Check out the enclosed parts list (on pages 6 and

7) for just a sampling of what’s available now, and stay right up to date with what’s to come by checking out the very latest info on our website (www.teamtrinity.com).

The following Trinity metal pinion gear sets are available for your Blade™: TRI34067 High Speed Set, 13, 14, 15 & 16T for Blade™ stock motor. TRI34071 High Torque Set, 9, 11, 13, & 15T for Micro Monster™ after-market modied motors.
