Standard operaon:
• Turning the transmier wheel to the le from center makes the wheels on the vehicle turn LEFT
• Turning the transmier wheel to the right from center makes the wheels on the vehicle turn RIGHT
• Pulling the transmier trigger back towards the handle will make the vehicle accelerate forward
• Pushing the transmier trigger forward away from the handle will have the following aects depending
on the locaon of the trigger prior to pushing it forward
› From a stop at neutral: the vehicle will travel in reverse
› From pulled back: the vehicle will apply brakes to slow the speed
» A second push forward of the trigger will apply reverse throle
»WARNING: Causing the vehicle to make quick transions from forward/reverse moon to
the opposite direcon using the throle control can cause damage to your vehicle and will
void the warranty
Using your transmier for the rst me:
1. Turn the transmier ON and ensure the LED is lit SOLID indicang the baeries are supplying adequate
voltage for proper operaon
2. Seng the throle trim
a. If the wheels spin in a forward direcon when the trigger is in the neutral posion, turn down the
trim unl the motor stops
b. If the wheels spin in a reverse direcon when the trigger is in the neutral posion, turn up the trim
unl the motor stops
c. There will be a “dead band” area where the trim can be adjusted a slight amount in either direc-
on and the wheels will not begin to move. It is ideal to have the trim set in the middle of this
“dead band”
3. Seng the steering trim
a. With your vehicle and transmier turned on (and properly responding to transmier inputs), set
the vehicle down on the ground and slowly accelerate in a direcon directly away from you. If the
vehicle veers slightly either to the le or right, stop the vehicle and adjust the Steering Trim knob
in the opposite direcon of the veer in small increments
b. Reset the vehicle and re-test; adjust the trim as needed unl the vehicle travels in a straight line
while the transmier wheel remains at center locaon (“hands-o”)

Binding the radio system:
The process of allowing communicaon to occur between a 2.4GHz transmier and receiver is called “bind-
ing” (somemes referred to as “matching” or “pairing”). The radio system included with your product comes
pre-congured and bound from the factory. In the event your system loses binding, or one of the compo-
nents has been replaced, you will need to re-bind the transmier and receiver. Follow the below steps for
re-binding your radio system
1. Ensure the transmier has good (new or charged) baeries installed and that it is powered OFF before
starng
2. Connect a fully charged baery pack to the electronics module and ensure it is powered OFF before
starng
3. Use a small blunt object (not sharp) to press and hold the bind buon on the electronics module and
move the switch to the ON posion
4. Release the bind buon on the electronics module
5. The red LED will ash quickly on the electronics module
6. Press and hold the bind buon on the transmier and move the switch to the ON posion
7. Release the bind buon on the transmier
8. The green LED on the transmier will ash slowly and the red LED on the receiver will change to ashing
slowly, then turn o, then back on
9. Move the power switches to the OFF posion, rst on the electronics module, then on the transmier
10. Move the power switches to the ON posion, rst the transmier, then on the electronics module
11. Ensure normal operaon of throle and steering
12. If you experience anything other than normal operaon, repeat the process
Calibrang your ERS unit’s ESC to the Transmier:
Properly seng the ESC to the transmier ensures the ESC “knows” when you are trying to apply full throle
or full brake/reverse. NOTE: It is best to perform this procedure with all baeries fully charged
1. Ensure TH. Trim is centered and set to 0 on the transmier, then turn the transmier and ESC ON
2. With throle trigger in neutral posion, press the Bind/Set buon on ESC for 3 seconds unl LED ashes
3. With throle trigger in full throle posiiton, press the Bind/Set buon on ESC once quickly
4. With the throle trigger set in full brake posion, press the bind/set buon once quickly
5. Your ESC is now set, turn o the power to your vehicle and turn it back on
6. Your ESC is now set to your transmier. Always re-perform this procedure aer binding your radio
Using the LVC funcon with LiPo Baeries:
When using a LiPo baery with your vehicle, you must turn the LVC to “LiPo” to ensure the ESC will not over-
discharge the baery, causing damage and risk of re. Ensure you have the LVC set to “NiMH” when using
your vehicle with standard NiMH baeries.
The Animus 18SC has been engineered with some available tuning opons listed here for reference.
Ride height adjustment: It is possible to adjust the ride height of your Animus 18SC by installing and or
removing adjustment clips located directly above the shock springs
• Adding more clips will raise the ride height of the vehicle and if done excessively may decrease stability.
• Removing clips will lower the ride height and may cause the chassis to drag on the ground.
• It is ideal to have the drive shas level with the ground while the vehicle is sing on a at surface with
the body installed. Add or remove clips to achieve the desired ride height
Shock Posion: There are two shock installaon locaons for the top mounng locaon of the shocks. The
default posion is inside (located closer to the centerline of the chassis)
• Moving the shock mounng locaon to the outer locaon will result in a slightly more responsive feel on
the front or rear of the vehicle
• Always check and adjust, if necessary, the ride height of your vehicle aer moving the shock mounng

common sense as failure to operate your Helion RC product in a safe and responsible manner can result in
damage to the product or other properes. Therefore this product is not intended for use or maintenance
by children without direct adult supervision. Helion RC and your hobby dealer shall not be liable for any loss
or damages, whether direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequenal, arising from the use, misuse, or
abuse of this product or any product required to operate or maintain it
• For your safety, do not operate your vehicle in rain, electrical, or thunder storms
• The vehicle should never be turned ON without the transmier being turned ON
• Never operate your vehicle when with low transmier baeries
› Indicated by ashing LED on the transmier
• Always check for proper radio system operaon (steering and throle) prior to leng go of the vehicle. If
the vehicle does not respond properly to transmier input, turn the vehicle OFF and inspect all connec-
ons and operang environment. Also see the Troubleshoong guide in this manual
• Operate in a dry (no puddles), open environment away from trac, and cars (never run into the street
for any reason)
• Always turn o both transmier and ESC and disconnect the baery from the ESC aer use
• Exercise extreme cauon when touching the motor immediately aer running your vehicle, it may be

locaons
Baery posion: It is possible to run your Animus 18SC with the baery either in a forward or rear posion.
• The baery is located in the rear posion from the factory. This is ideal for opmum tracon and stability.
• If you desire more responsive steering and less stability, moving the baery to the forward posion will
provide this feeling
Body Mount Height: The body mounts on the Animus 18SC are capable of vercal adjustment with 4 height
opons available
• The default seng allows for the lowest body posion while maintaining component clearance
• Adjust the body mounts to achieve a desired look

CARE AND MAINTENANCE...
#

General Care:
• Always use clean, dry cloth or so bristle brush to clean your equipment
• Never use chemical cleansers to avoid damage to the sensive electronics and plascs
Maintenance:
We want you to enjoy your product to its fullest potenal. For this to happen it is important to keep your
product clean and properly maintained. Lack of cleaning and maintenance can cause component failure. For
best and connued performance from your product it is recommended to briey inspect your product for
damage every few runs. Typically, a good me to do this is when changing the baery or while it is charging.
If a problem is discovered, stop use immediately and seek repairs. Connued use of failed components can
cause more unnecessary damage to your product. Always remember to use genuine replacement parts from
your local hobby dealer. Below is a list of items for inspecon. Inspecon should not be limited to this list; if
you noce any problem, listed or not, it is recommended to give it proper aenon
1. Electronics: The electronics included in your vehicle are not waterproof. It is crical that they be kept
away from moisture and that any moisture noced on or around them be immediately cleaned up
a. Antenna: To achieve full operang range with your radio system, it is crical that the receiver
antenna be installed properly and undamaged
i. Inspect any exposed antenna for cuts or abrasions
ii. Ensure there are no kinks in the antenna or antenna tube
iii. Never fold the end of the antenna over the tube, this will reduce the range and damage the
antenna
2. Gears: Periodically remove the gear cover to inspect the gears and ensure there is no debris in the gear
compartment
a. Proper gear mesh seng is crucial for proper operaon and life of gears in your product. It is
important to have the pinion gear (aached to motor) as close to the spur gear (aached to drive
sha) as possible yet while providing a minimal amount of backlash. Backlash is the rotaon one
gear has to make before contacng the other. Having the gear mesh set too ght will cause excess
load on the electrical components and may cause premature failure. Having gear mesh set too
loose will cause excess wear and possible skipping of teeth during operaon thus causing excess
wear and premature failure
b. Checking the gear mesh
i. Remove the spur gear cover
ii. Press downward on the top deck close to the spur gear to hold in place
iii. Check how much movement is allowed of the spur gear before the pinion gear moves (this is
purely by feel, not visual)
iv. If the spur gear is allowed to move more than a very small amount, or if it there is no back-
lash, the gear mesh must be adjusted
v. Seng the gear mesh
01). Loosen the two screws on the boom of the chassis the hold the motor in place
02). Slide motor all the way to the spur gear, so there is no backlash
03). Move back slightly and hold the motor snugly in posion while reghtening the bot-
tom screws
04). Re-check the gear mesh and adjust again if necessary
vi. Re-install the spur gear cover
WARNING: Never operate your vehicle with the spur gear cover removed. Severe injury, damage to electri-
cal components, and excessive wear and tear on drivetrain may result.

3. Shocks: Periodically inspect the shocks for smooth/free moon, leaking oil and dirt residue build up
around the sha
a. Do not allow dirt to build up around the shock sha and boom of the shock. Doing so will reduce
the life of the shock and cause a shock to leak oil. Be sure to clean the shocks regularly with a
clean and dry so bristle brush and/or rag
b. Signs to look out for determining if your shock needs to be maintained or rebuilt
i. Oil around the sha means the oil leaked from inside and needs to be replaced
ii. Persistent oil around the shock sha or lower poron of the shock typically points to dam-
aged O-rings which will need replacing. See your local hobby dealer for replacement parts
iii. Relling your shocks:
01). Remove shock from vehicle, remove spring and top cap
02). With shock sha extended, add oil to top of body (use only 100% silicone oil)
03). Slowly compress the shock sha 50% of travel using a towel or paper napkin to clean
up overowed oil
04). Slowly reinstall the shock cap and check for free moon of shock
05). It is normal for the shock to rebound (with the spring removed) aer full compression
and release
iv. Replacing the O-rings:
01). Disassemble shock and remove sha from the body
02). Carefully remove lower cap by prying with a nger nail or similar object
03). Remove the O-rings and replace with genuine replacement parts
04). Re-assemble the shock following the Relling instrucons above
4. Tires and wheels:
a. Inspect the res to ensure they are properly glued to the wheels. The res on your vehicle come
pre-glued from the factory; however aer running your vehicle it is possible for the glue to come
loose in some areas.
i. To reaach the re to the wheel, use hobby grade Cyanoacrylate (CA) glue and apply small
amounts (one drop at a me) between the re and wheel. Allow the glue to fully dry before
operang your vehicle
Cauon: Be sure to use extreme care when using hobby-grade CA glue. It is specially formulated to cure
quickly and create a strong bond. It will bond skin and can cause injury if used improperly. Follow manu-
facturer’s warnings and direcons when using CA glue. It is always recommended to wear eye protecon
when maintaining your vehicle.
ii. When reinstalling res, use cauon when ghtening the nuts that secure the wheels to the
vehicle. Ensure they rotate freely but don’t wobble excessively. Over ghtening the wheels
will cause excess strain on the electrical and mechanical components of your vehicle. Oper-
ang your vehicle under these condions will void your warranty
iii. Tire wear: Consequently running your vehicle will cause the res to eventually wear out. Be
sure to obtain and use genuine replacement parts from your local hobby dealer
5. General wear and tear:
a. Use of your vehicle will cause general wear and tear which is not covered under warranty yet may
necessitate replacement of components. Connued operaon of your product with use of worn
components may cause connued damage to other components
b. Be sure to regularly inspect your vehicle and accessories for excess wear and damaged compo-
nents

causes to the issues you are experiencing. Below are some of the most common issues
experienced. Scan the QR code to the right with your smart phone for quick access to
the product support page on our website.
1. Dead transmier or vehicle baeries will cause the product to malfuncon and not
work properly. As with TV remote controls in your home, if the baeries are dead,
they don’t work. Start power related troubleshoong with fresh baeries in the
transmier and recharged baeries in the vehicle.
2. Connecons between the Baery, ESC, and Motor are crical to the performance of the product. Run-
ning in various debris may cause foreign objects to snag on wires, causing connecons to come loose. It
is a good idea to unplug and reconnect motor and baery connecons when beginning troubleshoong.
3. Drivetrain issues can mask themselves as power related. Fully inspect the wheels, driveshas, and motor
for foreign objects that may have become tangled or wrapped around the spinning parts of the drive-
train. Small objects like shing line for example, can wrap around a drive sha, overheat and melt due to
the fricon and cause the enre drivetrain to lock up. Although a big problem, it can be dicult to see
when inspecng. Always remove the wheels from your vehicle when starng drivetrain related issues.
4. When running in dirt and areas with a lot of debris, the motor can be exposed to foreign contaminants
such as grass, twigs, or other objects which can get lodged in the cooling holes of the motor, causing the
motor to lock up and stop funconing. Inspect the holes of your motor for foreign objects and remove
them if present.
5. Healthy gears are crucial to a properly funconing vehicle. If you hear your vehicle making very loud
noises, you should immediately stop and check the gears for foreign debris. Even a small pebble can get
lodged into the teeth of the pinion gear, which would praccally destroy the spur gear in a very short
period of me.

Storage:
• Always store all equipment in a cool dry place when not in use
• Always disconnect the baeries before storage
• Never store the baery, vehicle or transmier in direct sunlight for extended periods of me
• Never store the transmier with baeries installed for extended periods of me. Doing so may allow the
baeries to leak and cause permanent damage to the transmier
Disposal:
Your product is equipped with NiMH baeries which are considered electronic waste and should never be
discarded in standard garbage containers. Please visit your local hobby dealer and use the FREE baery
disposal center for proper disposal/recycling
