Safety notes
- Do not leave the charger and the battery on an inflammable sur-
face when charging is in progress. Do not leave batteries on
charge unsupervised.
- Protect the charger and drive battery from damp.
- Do not subject the battery or charger to direct sunshine. Do not
cover the charger.
- Use only drive batteries which are specifically stated to be "fast-
charge capable".
- Do not recharge any battery which is hot to the touch. Allow the
pack to cool down to ambient temperature before recharging.
- Observe the limits stated by the battery manufacturer.
- The battery must only be charged with the supplied charger,
do not use any other type of charger.
- The charger should only be used to recharge the battery supplied
in the model set.
Figs. 11 and 12
- Place the drive battery in the battery compartment, fit the cross-
piece, and secure it with the split pins.
- Switch the transmitter on.
- Connect the drive battery. Switch the receiving system on. Wait
for the speed controller to emit a series of beeps.
- The system is switched off by reversing the sequence descri-
bed above.
Figs. 13 and 14, the steering system
- Move the steering wheel "A" to the right (left), and the front
wheels should also deflect to the right (left).
- If the wheels move the wrong way, operate the servo reverse
switch "G".
Figs. 15 and 16, throttle (forward / reverse)
- If you move the throttle stick "B" in the forward direction "V", the
model should move forward. If it runs in reverse, operate the
servo reverse switch "H" for the throttle channel.
In order to avoid premature gearbox wear, it is not possible to
switch directly from forward to reverse running. If you wish to
switch from forward to reverse, slow the car with the brake befo-
re moving the throttle briefly to the neutral position. Only then is
it possible to run the car in reverse.

Operating instructions
Mini Rave EVO II 2,4 GHz RTR
Chassis settings:
- Note: the chassis is set up accurately at the factory. Once you
have become familiar with the model's running characteristics
and handling, you can fine-tune it to suit your personal preferen-
ces by adjusting the chassis.
Figs. 17 and 18, adjusting the shock absorbers:
- Please note that all the following adjustments must always be
carried out on both sides of the axle, otherwise you will not
obtain the desired results.
- You can adjust the ground clearance and spring tension by rota-
ting the knurled nut on the shock absorber cylinder. The setting
for ground clearance should be adjusted to suit the type of sur-
face over which you wish to run the model. The basic rule is this:
always keep clearance as low as possible, whilst avoiding the
chassis striking the ground at the extremes of spring travel.
- The suspension characteristics can be altered by changing the
attachment point of the shock absorbers. As supplied, the
model's shock absorbers are fitted in such a way that the car
handles well on a relatively even surface. This is generally known
as a "hard" shock absorber setting.
- Fitting the shock absorbers at a shallower angle produces a sof-
ter shock absorber setting which is more suitable for uneven ter-
rain.
Fig. 19, adjusting toe-in:
- The toe-in setting on the front axle affects the model's straight-
running characteristics and the sensitivity of the steering. If you
set positive toe-in (diagram 1), the car will be very stable when
running straight, but respond relatively slowly to steering com-
mands. If you set toe-out (diagram 2) the car will track less well,
but will be more sensitive to steering commands. In the default
setting the car is set up with virtually neutral toe-in (diagram 3)
which gives good straight-running characteristics and normal
steering response. Changes to this setting should only be made
in small increments.
Fig. 20, adjusting camber:
- Normally the camber of the wheels on both axles is set in such a
way that the full width of the tyres makes contact with the gro-
und (default setting). If you shorten the upper (adjustable) trans-
verse arms it is possible to set negative camber on that axle,
which results in higher traction when turning, since the vehicle
"resists the turn" better. However, the disadvantage of this set-
ting is that the tyres tend to wear unevenly, and will also wear out
more quickly due to the smaller contact area. At the other extre-
3
me, positive camber results in reduced traction on that axle. For
most off-road models the recommended setting is usually neu-
tral or a slightly negative camber angle.
- The basic rule is that any changes to the chassis should only be
made in small steps, followed by extensive track testing in order
to evaluate the results.

Binding the transmitter and receiver
2.4 GHz transmitters and receivers have to be "bound" to each
other before use, but this process has already been carried out at
the factory. The procedure only needs to be repeated if the system
is repaired, or if a component is changed.
Figs. 23 - 26
- Insert the rechargeable battery and connect it.
- Receiver: withdraw the steering servo lead - "Channel 1, Bind" -
from the receiver, and fit the jumper (bridging plug) in its place.
- Transmitter: press the bind button "E", and only then switch the
transmitter on. The green LED flashes - see arrow.
- Switch the receiving system on: the green LED in the receiver
case flashes.
- If the binding procedure is successful, the receiver LED stops
flashing and glows continuously.
- Switch off the receiving system and transmitter. Withdraw the
jumper and plug in the steering servo again.
- Switch the transmitter on, followed by the receiver. A triple beep
indicates that the system is ready for use.
