GettinG started
Note: Before you start running your new Recoil, it
is absolutely necessary that you read through
all of the operating instructions to prevent
unnecessary damage and get the maximum
enjoyment from your vehicle.
❑Step 1
Plug the AC charger into the proper wall receptacle
(110V). Plug the battery pack into the charger and let it
charge for 3 hours for the first time. After running, or
when your Recoil slows noticeably, recharge the battery
pack for 5–6 hours for a full charge.
❑Step 2
Remove the transmitter battery cover by sliding the cover
from left to right. Install eight (8) AA batteries into the
battery holder. Pay close attention to the correct direction
of the positive (+) and negative (-) ends as marked in the
tray. Once all 8 batteries are in place, reinstall the battery
cover by sliding it on from right to left.
❑Step 3
Insert the antenna wire through the antenna mount and
into the antenna tube (Fig.1) pushing it through until it
comes out the other end. Push the antenna tube (Fig. 2)
into the antenna mount.

Once the battery is charged, remove the body clip from
the front battery post (Fig. 3) and insert the battery in the
clear Lexan battery holder (Fig.4). Reinstall the battery clip
and plug the battery into the ESC.
❑Step 5
Always turn on the transmitter first by sliding the switch
on the left side of the wheel from bottom to top. The
small red and green lights above the switch should both
light up. If not, you need to check for low or incorrectly
installed batteries.
❑Step 6
Once the transmitter has been turned on, power up
the Recoil by sliding the switch on the speed controller
to the “ON” position. If the rear wheels turn, adjust the
“TH Trim” knob located to the lower right of the steering
wheel until they stop. To go forward, pull the trigger
back. If you should need reverse, wait for the model to
stop then push the trigger forward. When going forward,
the model should move in a straight line. If not, adjust
the “ST Trim” so that it tracks in a straight line without
having to move the steering wheel. After you have
finished, turn the Recoil off FIRST by sliding the switch
on the ESC to the “OFF” position. After the model has
been turned off, turn off the transmitter.
If you wish to clean your Recoil, use compressed air and/
or a soft paint brush to remove the dust and dirt. Never
use chemicals or anything wet as it can cause damage to
both the electronics and plastic parts.
ALWAYS
• Turn “ON” the transmitter before the vehicle
• Use caution when running your vehicle near
people
• Turn both the Recoil and the transmitter “OFF”
when done.
• Check the battery condition of the transmitter
before running
NEVER
• Operate the Recoil with low battery power
• Run the Recoil through water
• Use chemicals to clean the chassis
