2. Safety Guidelines

Your HYPER GO H16BM is a powerful remote control vehicle. Adhering to these safety guidelines is crucial for preventing injury and damage.

• Age Restriction: Not for children under 14 years old. Adult supervision is recommended for all users.
• Operating Environment: Operate the RC truck in open, clear areas away from people, pets, vehicles, and obstacles. Avoid public roads.
• Water Exposure: While the receiver and ESC are splash-proof, avoid submerging the vehicle in water or operating in heavy rain to prevent damage to electronic components.
• Battery Safety:
  • Use only the provided or recommended LiPo batteries and charger.
  • Do not overcharge or over-discharge batteries.
  • Store batteries in a cool, dry place, away from flammable materials. The battery casing is made with flame-retardant materials for enhanced safety.
  • Inspect batteries for damage before each use. Discontinue use if damaged.
• Throttle Control: Do not steer at full speed until you have mastered the driving skills. Utilize the 70% throttle limited switch for beginners.
• Heat: The motor and ESC can become hot during operation. Avoid touching them immediately after use.

5. Initial Setup

5.1 Charging the Battery

Before first use, fully charge the included LiPo batteries. Connect the battery to the USB charging cable and plug the cable into a compatible USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, USB wall adapter). The indicator light on the charger will show charging status (refer to charger instructions for specific light patterns).

5.2 Installing the Battery

Carefully open the battery compartment on the underside of the RC truck. Insert a fully charged LiPo battery, ensuring the connectors align correctly. Securely close the battery compartment.

5.3 Transmitter Setup

Install 4x AA batteries (not included) into the transmitter. Ensure correct polarity. The transmitter features a 2.4GHz 3-Channel Radio for reliable control.

5.4 Binding the Transmitter and Receiver

The truck and transmitter are typically pre-bound from the factory. If re-binding is necessary:

1. Ensure both the truck and transmitter are powered off.
2. Turn on the transmitter.
3. Turn on the RC truck. The indicator lights on both devices should show a successful connection (refer to the specific light patterns in the included product manual).
4. If binding fails, repeat the steps or consult the detailed binding procedure in the separate product manual provided in the box.

6. Operating Your RC Truck

6.1 Basic Controls

• Throttle (CH2:TH): Pull the trigger to accelerate forward. Push the trigger to brake or reverse.
• Steering (CH1:ST): Turn the steering wheel left or right to control the direction of the truck.
• Steering Trim (ST.TRIM): Adjust this dial to ensure the truck drives straight when the steering wheel is centered.
• Throttle Limit Switch: Located on the transmitter, this switch allows you to limit the maximum throttle output to 70% for beginners or 100% for experienced users. This is great for learning control before unleashing full speed.
• CH3 Light Control/Code Matching (Fn button): Use this button for controlling the light bar and for initiating code matching if needed.

6.2 Performance Modes (2S vs 3S LiPo)

Your HYPER GO H16BM comes with two 2S 7.4V 1050 mAh LiPo batteries, allowing for speeds of 27+ mph (45 kph). For even more extreme performance, the independent 45A ESC supports a 3S-capable power system. With a compatible 3S 11.1V LiPo battery (sold separately), furious speeds of 42+ mph (68 kph) are achievable in optimum conditions.

6.3 Driving Tips

• Start with the 70% throttle limit to get accustomed to the truck's handling.
• Practice steering and throttle control in an open area.
• The truck is designed for off-road use and can handle various terrains, jumps, and stunts like popping wheelies and back-flipping.
• The pre-mounted sponge inserted tires and oil-filled absorbers help reduce shaking and maintain stability at high speeds.

7. Maintenance and Care

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

• Cleaning: After each use, especially after driving in dirt or dusty conditions, clean the truck with a soft brush or compressed air to remove debris. Avoid using water directly on electronics.
• Battery Care: Always disconnect the battery from the truck when not in use. Store batteries properly as per safety guidelines.
• Inspecting Gears and Drivetrain: Periodically check the metal gears and metal differential for wear or damage. The 5.5MM diameter axle and M4 nuts contribute to the durable 4WD system. The 16 ball bearings reduce power loss and should be kept clean.
• Shock Absorbers: The oil-filled absorbers are designed for durability. Check them for leaks or damage.
• Chassis and Components: The honeycomb chassis and F/R zinc metal reinforced sheets are designed for impact resistance. Inspect for cracks or damage after heavy impacts. The adjustable pull rod should also be checked for proper function.
