Instruction Manual

Get ready to have a BLAST with your
ZIG ZAG RACER 3™
—the high-performance, highly maneuverable, self-
righting speedboat from HobbyZone®. You'll have hours
of fun zipping across the water, racing with friends and
playing Zig Zag Water Soccer. But before the fun begins,
it’s very important that you read this manual completely
and follow the directions carefully. That way you'll be sure
your Zig Zag fun is safe and successful.

Crash damage is not covered
under the warranty.
Be sure to read the warranty
on page 26 and "Warnings and
Safety" on page 24 before you
proceed to Step 1.


Step 1
1. Remove transmitter bottom cover by
pushing down with thumbs, as indicated
by the arrows.
2. Install batteries. Use fresh 1.5V “AA”
batteries only.
3. Watch polarity. Replace cover.
4. To test, switch on transmitter—LED

Needed for Step 1

Step 2
IMPORTANT – Prior to installing battery, the
transmitter must be turned on and your
Zig Zag boat placed on the included stand.
1. Lift canopy slightly and turn sideways to
uncover battery compartment.
2. Attach battery to connector in boat and
place battery in compartment.
3. To secure battery, stretch rubber band
over the top of the battery and connect
to hook.
4. Make sure battery and connectors do not
interfere with movement of wire pushrod.
5. Reposition canopy and secure it by fitting
canopy peg into the front alignment
cavity in the hull and inside the five hull
alignment posts.
Note: Always make sure your transmitter is
on before you install the battery. After you
are done, make sure the battery is unplugged
prior to turning off the transmitter.
Install Battery
7-Cell Battery Warning: For increased
performance, your Zig Zag Racer 3 may be
powered by an optional HobbyZone 8.4V
1000mAh battery pack (HBZ1013). Please
note that use of this battery may cause
the electronics in your boat to become
very warm. It is important to limit the use
of continuous full-throttle. Always allow at
least 5 minutes for cooling between running
sessions.

Step 3
Motor Test and Battery Discharging
CAUTION: Keep everything clear of the
propeller. A moving propeller can cause
injury.
1. The buttons below the power switch
and labeled as "TH. Trim" are the digital
throttle trim buttons. With your boat on
the stand, turn on the transmitter and
install the battery.
2. If motor is running, make sure the throttle
trigger is centered at neutral and press
the "-" throttle trim button until the
motor stops.
3. Pull the throttle trigger back. Motor
speed will increase as the throttle trigger
is pulled back.
4. In order to fully discharge the battery, run
the motor at high speed until it shuts off.
If there is not enough charge in the bat-
tery to power the propeller, then proceed
to Step 4 (on next page).
5. When finished with the motor test, be
sure to disconnect the battery first, then
turn off the transmitter.

Step 
Charging the Zig Zag Battery
Note: Never charge a hot battery or a
battery that is already charged. Always
discharge before every charge. See Step 3
for instructions on discharging.
See "Warnings and Safety" on page 24.
The charger supplied with the Zig Zag Racer
3™, the HobbyZone®variable rate DC peak
charger, uses unique peak detection circuitry
that ensures an accurate charge every time
and protects your Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries
from the dangers of over-charging. This
charger continually monitors the battery’s
charge curve and automatically stops
charging when the peak charge is detected.
The peak detection charger will help avoid
damage to your Ni-Cd and Ni-MH cells.
1. Plug the battery into the charger.
2. Plug the charger into any 12V automobile
accessory outlet. The LED indicator should
continuously blink. Charging is finished
when the LED glows steadily (in 40 min-
utes or less).

Step 
Rudder Test
Move the steering wheel side to side.
The rudder should move as shown in the
drawings.
NOTE: The small buttons labelled as "ST.
Trim" under the power switch are the digital
steering buttons and are used to adjust the
"neutral" point of your steering wheel. To do
this, leave the steering wheel in the center
position. If rudder is not aligned straight
ahead, use the digital rudder trim buttons to
center it.

Step 
Choosing Your Location
CAUTION: Parents, do not allow young
children to go the lake or pool unsupervised.
Be safe and stay away from steep grades near
shorelines where you or those with you could
slip and fall into the water.
1. Choose a location that is not being used
by swimmers when you are running your
boat.
2. If you choose a lake, be sure there is no
moss, grass, weeds or debris present that
could get wrapped around the propeller
or trap your boat offshore.
3. Make sure the shoreline is clear and
relatively flat so you can easily launch,
operate and retrieve your boat.
DO NOT mix radio control
boating and swimming.
DO NOT swim to retrieve
your boat.
Do not operate your boat near
moss, grass, weeds, brush, etc.
