Drive Operation - Reely HOTLANDER NEXT GENERATION Bedienungsanleitung

RIvE OpERATION
- Make sure that the rechargeable batteries of transmitter and receiver are fully charged.
- Check the range of the remote control transmitter and the function of the RC- System.
- Always try to drive the model at high revolutions!
- Avoid brief, strong throttle bursts when you want to drive slowly!
- Avoid frequent slow driving with slipping clutch!
- Always drive with attached car body.
Thus, you protect yourself against burns if you touch the engine and the manifold by accident and you protect the
components from falling stones.
Bear in mind that the operation of remote controlled vehicles has to be learned step by step.
Start with simple driving exercises, e.g. circular driving
- Use simple plastic cups as pylons to delimit a course.
- Get used the driving behavior in curves.
- Practice steering when the model runs towards you!

OuNTING THE cAR BODy
The fastening elements for the car body are already pre-assembled in the contents of the delivery of the HOTLANDER NEXT GENERATION Chassis.
Before installing the car body, the boreholes for the car body supports and antenna passage as well as for the
fitting parts must be mounted. Use a special car body drill.
First of all, mount the fitting parts such as bumper, rear-view mirror, roll-over bar and auxiliary headlights.
Installing the car body
- Apply colored chalk or slow drying paint on the edges of the car body support and
- Place the car body as exactly as possible on the chassis.
- Remove the car body again and
- Drill holes into the car body at the places marked with paint (chalk) for the mounting parts of the car body.
- Place the car body and fasten the latter with the car body splints
- Determine the position of the antenna tube on the car body and
- Drill here also a hole for the antenna passage.
- Make openings for the starter cord, the tank shutter and the cooling head.

OTOR
The ,76 ccm engine of the Monster Truck Chassis "HOTLANDER NEXT GENERATION" is air-cooled. This means that the air stream takes on the
cooling of the engine (air cooling).
This is why you should try to avoid accelerating the vehicle with frequent, strong load changes (short throttle bursts from low rev range and jerkily
lowering the revs).
The brief high revs strongly heat up the engine, without there being appropriate cooling through wind, as this would be the case at a drive with con-
stantly high revolutions (high speed). As a result of overheating the engine, the piston may get stuck in the cylinder liner (piston gets stuck) and
suddenly block the drive. This could cause consequential damage of the entire drive section.
Drive in part-load operational range with revs that correspond to the desired speed.
However: When driving slowly continuously, the cooling of the engine through air stream is guaranteed, but instead, there may be damages on the
clutch (wear, overheating through slipping clutch).

- At idle speed the clutch doesn't yet grip, the model remains stationary with engine running.
- When the revolutions are slowly increased the clutch "slips", the vehicle moves forward or starts to move slowly.
As with a "real" vehicle, constant slipping of the clutch can cause the clutch to "smoke away" or "burn off".
- Only at high engine revs does the clutch start to "engage", the engine speed is transmitted without any slip to the drive section.
The wear on the clutch linings is now at its lowest.
- Frequent, strong load changes by brief short throttle bursts and jerky lowering of the revs also reduce the life of the clutch linings.
With short throttle bursts as well as by letting the clutch slip, you achieve a slow speed, but at the expense of the clutch.
