Transmitter Battery Installation
Charging The Battery Pack
Slide the battery cover off to access the
battery compartment.
Insert 8 x AA Batteries into the
compartment, taking care to
match the polarities.
Do not mix battery types or
old and new batteries.
Please ensure you dispose of any old
batteries correctly. 8 x AABatteries required.
Purchased separately
The TAGT2 features a charging jack which allows you to use rechargeable batteries in the transmitter.
Ensure you insert 8 rechargeable battery packs and follow the chargers instruction book.
Both the charger and the rechargeable batteries will need to be purchased separately.
When charging we recommend that the transmitter is placed on a hard, non flammable surface
and under constant supervision.
Remove the battery from the car before charging and place on a hard nonflammable surface.
Once the battery is ready to be charged, first plug the charger into the outlet of the AC power source
(with the switch in the off position), then connect the battery input/output connector to the charger.
When you switch the power on the red light will illuminate and continue
whilst charging, when charging is complete it will change to green.
The battery / charger included with this car will take approximately 12 hours to
charge. Do not leave the battery unattended.
As soon as the battery is fully charged switch of the power, unplug the charger
and disconnect the battery from the charger plug. Over charging or charging with
inadequate chargers may cause the battery pack to become very hot.
Ensure that the battery pack is completely discharged prior to charging, this can
be achieved by running the motor until it slows down.
For best results let the battery cool before charging, heat may prevent the battery
pack from charging to full capacity and also decreases the performance of the battery.
Charging must always be done by an adult, or under adult supervision.

Binding Process
A binding feature is included with the TAGT2 Handset to ensure the transmitter and receiver bind properly and prevent interference from other
controllers. To bind your transmitter and receiver, please follow the steps below.
1- Install batteries (8 x AA, not Supplied) into the transmitter, but do not switch ON.
2- Insert the “match line” unit (supplied) into the Ch3/Bind port of the receiver.
3- Connect the receiver battery supply to the VCC port on the receiver and switch ON.
Now the 2 LED lights are flashing, awaiting signal.
4- Press and hold down the BIND button on the transmitter, then turn on the transmitter. (apx 5 secs)
5- Watch the flashing LED’s on the receiver until they stop. The Transmitter & Receiver are now matched.
6- Release the BIND Button on the transmitter and remove the “match line” from the receiver.
7- Install servo cables.
8- Switch ON car first, then the TRANSMITTER.
9- Check that the binding process was successful by moving the controls.
10 - If it has NOT worked, please repeat the stages above

S10E Electronic Speed Controller
Features
► Water-proof and dust-proof. The ESC can work under water for a short time.
Please remove the cooling fan when running car in water, and after running,
please make the ESC clean and then dry it to avoid the oxidation to copper connectors
► Specially designed for RC cars with excellent start-up, acceleration and linearity features.
► Compatible with sensor-less brushless motor.
► 2 Running modes suitable for different applications. “Forward with brake” mode,
& “Forward/Backward with brake” mode.
► Proportional ABS brake function with 4 steps of maximum brake
force adjustment, 8 steps of drag-brake force adjustment.
► 4 Start modes (“Punch”) from “Soft” to “Very aggressive” to be suitable
for different chassis, tires and tracks.
► Multiple protection features: Low voltage cut-off protection for Li-po or
NiMH battery / Over-heat protection / Throttle signal loss protection /
Motor blocked protection.
► Easily programmed with the “SET” button on the ESC
Throttle Range Settings
In order to make the ESC match the throttle range, you must calibrate after
changing the settings of the neutral position of the throttle channel, ATV or
EPA parameters, otherwise the ESC cannot work properly.
There are 3 points that need to be set, they are the top point of “forward”,”
backward” and the neutral point.
The following pictures show how to set the throttle range.
A) Switch off the ESC, turn on the transmitter, set the direction of throttle
channel to ”REV”, set the “EPA/ATV” value of throttle channel to “100%”, and
disable the “ABS” brake function of your transmitter.
B) Hold the “SET” key and then switch on the ESC, when the red LED begins
to flash, release the key immediately.
C) Set the THREE points according to the steps shown in the picture on the
right side.
1 - Neutral point
2 - End point of forward direction
3 - End point of backward direction
D) When the process of calibration is finished, the motor can be started after
3 seconds.
Note: If you don’t release the “SET” key after the red LED begins to flash, the
ESC will enter the program mode, in such a case, please switch off the ESC
and re-calibrate the throttle range again from step A to step D.
LED Status & Alerts
Normal - LED
A) In normal use, if the throttle stick is in the neutral range, neither the red LED nor the green LED lights.
B) The red LED lights when the car is run forward or backward and it will flash quickly when the car is braking.
C) The green LED lights when the throttle stick is moved to the top point of the forward zone (that is: full throttle).
Alert Tones
1. Input voltage abnormal alert tone: The ESC begins to check the input voltage when power on, if it is out of the normal range, such an alert tone will
be emitted: “beep-beep-, beep-beep-, beep-beep-” (There is 1 second time interval between every “beep-beep-” tone).
2. Throttle signal abnormal alert tone: When the ESC can’t detect the normal throttle signal, such an alert tone will be emitted: “beep-, beep-, beep-”
(There is 2 seconds time interval between every “beep-” tone).
Protection Function
1. Low voltage cut-off protection: If the voltage of a Li-po battery pack is lower than the threshold for 2 seconds, the ESC will cut of the output power.
Please note that the ESC cannot be restarted if the voltage of each Lipo cell is lower than 3.5V.
For NiMH battery packs, if the voltage of the whole NiMH battery pack is higher than 9.0V but lower than 12V, it will be considered as a 3S Li-po; If it
is lower than 9.0V, it will be considered as a 2S Li-po. For example, if the NiMH battery pack is 8.0V, and the threshold is set to 2.6V/Cell, it is
considered as a 2S Li-po, and the low-voltage cut-off threshold for this NiMH battery pack is 2.6*2=5.2V.
2. Over-heat protection: When the temperature of the ESC is over a factory pre-set threshold for 5 seconds, the ESC will cut off the output power. You
can disable the over-heat protection function for competition race.
3. Throttle signal loss protection: The ESC will cut off the output power if the throttle signal is lost for 0.2 second.

Items
Programmable Value
In the program process, the motor will emit “Beep” tone at the same time when the LED is flashing.
We use a long time flash and long “Beep---” tone to represent number “5”, so it is easy to identify the items of the big number.
For example, if the LED flashes as the following:
A long time flash” (Motor sounds “B---”) = the No. 5 Item
A long time flash + a short time flash” (Motor sounds “B---B”) = the No. 6 Item
A long time flash + 2 short times flash” (Motor sounds “B---BB”) = the No. 7 Item
