3. Setup

3.1 Battery Installation (Vehicle)

1. Carefully remove the body clips and lift the buggy's body shell.
2. Locate the battery trays. The Generation X 6S is designed for 6S LiPo battery configurations (e.g., two 3S LiPo batteries in series, or one 6S LiPo battery). Ensure your batteries are fully charged and compatible with the XT90 connector system.
3. Securely place the batteries into the battery trays. Use the provided straps or Velcro to prevent movement during operation.
4. Connect the battery (or batteries) to the ESC using the XT90 connector. Ensure correct polarity.
5. Replace the body shell and secure it with the body clips.

3.2 Battery Installation (Remote Control)

1. Open the battery compartment cover on the bottom of the remote control.
2. Insert the required batteries (typically AA batteries, refer to the remote's specific markings) ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
3. Close the battery compartment cover.

3.3 Initial Checks and Binding

• Ensure the remote control is turned ON before turning on the vehicle.
• Turn on the vehicle's power switch (usually located on the ESC).
• The vehicle and remote should automatically bind. If not, consult the remote control's specific instructions for binding procedures.
• Test steering and throttle response at a low speed to confirm proper function before full operation.

4. Operation

4.1 Basic Controls

• Steering: Use the steering wheel on the remote control to turn the front wheels left or right.
• Throttle: Pull the trigger on the remote control to accelerate forward. Push the trigger forward to brake or reverse.

4.2 Driving Tips

• Start with gentle throttle inputs, especially with the powerful 6S brushless system, to get accustomed to the vehicle's speed and handling.
• Practice steering and braking in an open area before attempting high-speed maneuvers.
• Avoid driving through deep water, as electronics, while water-resistant, are not fully submersible.
• Be mindful of battery life. Stop operating the vehicle when you notice a significant drop in power to prevent over-discharging LiPo batteries.

5. Maintenance

5.1 After Each Use

• Disconnect and remove batteries from the vehicle and remote control.
• Clean the vehicle: Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove dirt, dust, and debris from the chassis, suspension, and drivetrain. A damp cloth can be used for the body shell.
• Inspect for damage: Check for loose screws, bent suspension components, damaged tires, or any other signs of wear or breakage.

5.2 Periodic Maintenance

• Lubrication: Apply appropriate RC-specific grease or oil to moving parts like universal joints and gears as needed. Avoid over-lubrication.
• Shock Absorbers: Check for oil leaks and ensure smooth operation. Refill or replace shock oil if necessary.
• Tires and Wheels: Inspect for cracks, tears, or excessive wear. Ensure wheel nuts are tight.
• Electronics: Keep the motor, ESC, and servo clean and free of debris. Ensure all wiring connections are secure.
