Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
Manuals are typically included in the box with your product. Digital versions can often be found on the official FMS Hobby website under the 'Downloads' section or on the specific product page.
Many FMS vehicles feature splash-proof electronics (ESC and receiver), allowing for operation in damp conditions or shallow puddles. However, unless explicitly stated as fully waterproof, they should not be submerged. Refer to your specific model's manual for IP ratings.
Battery requirements vary by scale and model. Smaller 1:18 or 1:24 crawlers often use 2S 7.4V LiPo batteries with specific connectors (e.g., PH2.0), while 1:10 scale trucks typically accept standard 2S or 3S LiPo packs with XT60 plugs. Always check your vehicle's specifications.
Binding procedures vary by the radio system included (often FlySky or FMS proprietary). generally, you power on the transmitter while holding the bind button, then power on the receiver. Consult your transmitter manual for the exact sequence.
