4. Setup

Follow these steps to prepare your Hobao Hyper 10 SC-Elec RTR for its first use:

1. Charge Batteries:
   • Connect the provided batteries to the appropriate charger.
   • Ensure the charger is plugged into a suitable power source.
   • Monitor the charging process and disconnect once fully charged. Refer to your battery and charger manuals for specific instructions.
2. Install Vehicle Battery:
   • Remove the body clips and lift the vehicle body.
   • Securely place the charged battery into the battery tray.
   • Connect the battery to the Electronic Speed Controller (ESC). Ensure correct polarity.
   • Re-attach the vehicle body with the body clips.
3. Install Transmitter Batteries:
   • Open the battery compartment on the remote control.
   • Insert the required batteries (e.g., AA batteries) observing correct polarity.
   • Close the battery compartment.
4. Binding (if necessary):

   Your RTR vehicle should come pre-bound. If you experience loss of control or are using a new transmitter/receiver, you may need to re-bind. Refer to the specific instructions for your radio system.
5. Initial Checks:
   • Turn on the transmitter first, then the vehicle's ESC.
   • Check steering: Turn the steering wheel on the transmitter; the front wheels should turn accordingly. Adjust steering trim if wheels are not straight.
   • Check throttle: Gently pull the throttle trigger; the wheels should spin forward. Push the trigger for reverse/brake.
   • Ensure all controls respond smoothly and correctly before driving.

5. Operating Your Vehicle

Once setup is complete, you are ready to operate your Hobao Hyper 10 SC-Elec RTR. Remember to always operate responsibly and safely.

• Starting: Turn on the transmitter, then the vehicle.
• Driving: Use the steering wheel for direction and the trigger for throttle (forward/reverse/brake). Start with gentle throttle inputs to get a feel for the vehicle's speed and handling.
• Braking/Reversing: Push the throttle trigger forward from neutral for braking. A second push will engage reverse.
• ESC Programming: The included programming card allows adjustment of ESC settings (e.g., brake force, punch, low voltage cutoff). Refer to the ESC manual for detailed instructions on using the programming card.
• Run Time: Monitor battery levels. When the vehicle starts to slow down significantly, it's time to stop and recharge the battery. Do not fully discharge LiPo batteries as this can damage them.
• Stopping: Turn off the vehicle's ESC first, then the transmitter. Disconnect the battery from the ESC.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life and performance of your RC vehicle.

• Cleaning: After each run, especially in dirty or dusty conditions, clean the vehicle. Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove dirt and debris from the chassis, suspension, and drivetrain. Avoid using water directly on electronics.
• Inspection:
  • Check for loose screws, nuts, and bolts. Tighten as necessary.
  • Inspect tires for wear and damage.
  • Check suspension components (shocks, arms) for bends or cracks.
  • Examine gears (spur and pinion) for wear or stripped teeth.
  • Ensure all wires and connectors are secure and free from damage.
• Lubrication: Apply appropriate RC-specific lubricants to moving parts like universal joints and bearings as needed. Avoid over-lubrication.
• Battery Storage: Store batteries in a cool, dry place, ideally at a storage voltage (for LiPo batteries). Never store fully charged or fully discharged.
