4. Required to Complete

The Corally Kagama Xp 6S Monster Truck is sold as a Ready-to-Run (RTR) version, but certain components are required to begin operation. These items are not included in the box and must be purchased separately:

• Batteries for Vehicle: One 4S to 6S LiPo battery block, or two 2S LiPo batteries, or two 3S LiPo batteries. All batteries must have an XT90 connector.
• Battery Charger: An appropriate LiPo battery charger compatible with the chosen battery configuration.
• Batteries for Transmitter: AA batteries for the remote control transmitter.

Ensure that all required components are compatible with the Kagama Xp's specifications and are sourced from reputable suppliers to guarantee safety and performance.

5. Setup Guide

Follow these steps to prepare your Corally Kagama Xp for its first run:

1. Charge Vehicle Batteries: Fully charge your LiPo batteries using a compatible LiPo charger. Always follow the charger's instructions and safety guidelines. Never leave charging batteries unattended.
2. Install Transmitter Batteries: Open the battery compartment on the remote control transmitter and insert the required AA batteries, observing correct polarity.
3. Install Vehicle Batteries: Carefully open the battery compartments on the Kagama Xp chassis. Insert the charged LiPo batteries, ensuring they are securely fastened and the XT90 connectors are properly connected to the ESC. Refer to Figure 5.1 for battery placement.
4. Power On Sequence:
   • Turn on the remote control transmitter first.
   • Then, turn on the Kagama Xp by pressing the power switch on the ESC.
5. Binding (if necessary): Your RTR model should come pre-bound. If the truck does not respond to the transmitter, refer to the specific binding instructions provided with your transmitter and receiver.
6. Pre-Run Check: Before driving, ensure all wheels spin freely, steering responds correctly, and the throttle operates smoothly. Check for any loose screws or connections.

6. Operating Your Monster Truck

Operating the Corally Kagama Xp requires practice and adherence to safety guidelines. Always operate in a safe, open area away from people, pets, and obstacles.

Basic Controls:

• Throttle Trigger: Pull the trigger to accelerate forward. Push the trigger to brake, and push again for reverse.
• Steering Wheel: Turn the wheel left or right to steer the truck.
• Trim Dials: Use the steering trim to adjust the neutral steering position if the truck pulls to one side. Use the throttle trim to ensure the truck remains stationary when the throttle trigger is at neutral.

Driving Tips:

• Start slowly to get a feel for the controls.
• Avoid sudden full throttle or braking, especially at high speeds, to prevent loss of control or damage.
• Be mindful of battery life. When the truck starts to slow down significantly, it's time to stop and recharge.
• Always turn off the vehicle first, then the transmitter, after each use.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and performance of your Corally Kagama Xp. Perform these checks after every run or periodically:

• Cleaning: Remove dirt, dust, and debris from the chassis, suspension, and motor. Use a soft brush or compressed air. Avoid using water directly on electronics.
• Inspection:
  • Check for loose screws, especially on suspension components, motor mount, and wheel nuts.
  • Inspect tires for wear or damage.
  • Examine suspension arms, shock absorbers, and drive shafts for cracks or bends.
  • Check electrical wires and connectors for fraying or damage.
• Lubrication: Apply a small amount of appropriate lubricant to moving parts like universal joints and bearings as needed. Consult specialized RC lubricants.
• Shock Absorbers: Check for oil leaks and ensure smooth operation. Refill or replace shock oil if necessary.
• Battery Care: Store LiPo batteries at a storage voltage (typically 3.8V per cell) if not used for extended periods. Never fully discharge or overcharge LiPo batteries.
