Frequently Asked Questions - Sand Rail XciteRC

How to perform binding between the transmitter and receiver?

Press and hold the BIND button on the receiver while turning on the vehicle, then release. Within 5 seconds, press the BIND button on the transmitter while turning it on. Release the transmitter button. The LEDs should stay on after about 5 seconds to confirm the link.

What type of battery to use and how to charge it?

The model uses a 2-3S LiPo battery (7.4-11.1 V). Use only the supplied charger on a non-flammable surface and under adult supervision. Remove the battery from the model to charge it.

What to do if the motor does not start?

Check that the motor wire is properly connected, that the drive battery is charged, that the throttle trim (TH.TRIM) is in the center position, and that the motor is not defective. If necessary, replace the motor.

How to adjust toe and camber of the chassis?

Toe is adjusted via the tie rods. More toe improves straight-line stability but reduces turning efficiency. Camber is adjusted so that the entire tread contacts the ground, ideally neutral or negative (2-3°). Avoid positive camber except to soften the front end.

What are the safety instructions for batteries and accumulators?

Keep batteries out of reach of children. Use only approved batteries. Do not expose them to heat or throw them into fire. Observe polarity. Never recharge non-rechargeable batteries. Recharge accumulators on a non-flammable surface and under supervision.

How to maintain the Sand Rail after use?

After each use, clean the model with a soft brush or compressed air. Check for water inside the hull and dry if necessary. Inspect screws, cables, switches, and moving parts. Remove batteries from the model and transmitter for storage.

Is the model waterproof?

The Sand Rail is waterproof but a few drops may seep in. Do not use it in rain, dense fog, wet grass, puddles, or snow. After use, check and dry the inside of the hull if necessary.

Where to find spare parts?

Spare parts are available from your dealer or online at www.XciteRC.de. Use the exploded view in the manual to identify part numbers.

What is the recommended minimum age to use this product?

This product is not a toy and is not suitable for children under 14 years. Use by minors must be under adult supervision.

What to do in case of loss of control or reduced range?

Check that the transmitter batteries are charged and that the vehicle battery is not low. Avoid interference (other 2.4 GHz transmitters, high voltage lines). If the transmitter LED blinks, replace the batteries. If the problem persists, repeat the binding procedure.

So check the correct position before every ride: throttle trim to the center position (mark on the adjuster points up), steering reverse: switch in position N, servo reverse throttle: switch in position R.

BINDING:

The 2.4 GHz receiver of Sand Rail must be once „connected“ with a suitable transmitter, the so-called „binding“ procedure. This ensures that the receiver establishes a connection only with this transmitter and the model can be operated without interference. This process can be repeated any time.

The transmitter and receiver of the Sand Rail are already bound so that you can start flying immediately. Should a rebind gets necessary (eg. after a transmitter change), proceed as follows:

Diagram showing four different XRC21 2.4GHz remote control panel setups with labeled buttons and components.

• Make sure that no other 2.4 GHz network (eg. WLAN or other transmitter) sends nearby.
• The distance between transmitter - Sand Rail should be maximum one meter.
• Press and hold the BIND button on the receiver (i.e. with a screwdriver) and turn ON the vehicle. Then

release the BIND button. Within 5 seconds press and hold the PAIR button on the transmitter and turn it on. The green LED starts flashing to indicate the binding process. After about 5 seconds, both LEDs light up continuously, the transmitter is now bound to the Sand Rail.

• To save a specific failsafe position, move the steering wheel or throttle trigger to the desired position (eg. brakes) and press the BIND button again after a successful binding procedure.
• If the model cannot be controlled, repeat the process.

Charging the Battery:

Before the first use of your new model the drive battery needs to be charged.

ATTENTION: Make sure to read all safety instructions regarding the use of rechargeable batteries. Also, if necessary, further safety instructions in the manual for your used charger.
WARNING: Charge may occur only with the supplied charger on a fireproof surface and under constant adult supervision - fire or explosion hazard!

For charging remove the battery from the vehicle.

Getting started

Insert the battery into the vehicle and connect the plug to the ESC. Before you start, check all functions of the remote control. Does the vehicle follow exactly and directly your commands? Or does it react delayed or choppy? If yes, do not start anyway, but check transmitter and drive batteries and recharge or replace if necessary.

The run time of your Sand Rail depends on the surface. The maximum run time is reached on a straight and levelled surface. In hilly terrain or grass, the run time is much shorter, also the motor, speed controller and battery gets much warmer. If the battery is weak, the vehicle first gets slower until it finally stops completely. To increase the life time of the drive battery, you should cease operation when the vehicle begins to slow down.

More maximum steering results in a tighter wall-to-wall turning circle, the vehicle turns in easier, but maybe a little nervous to drive. First turn the knob to the left - minimum steering angle. Now turn the steering wheel fully to the right (or left) and turn the adjusting knob ST.D/R slowly to the right until the desired steering angle is reached. You may do this setting also while running your vehicle. ⚠️ WARNING: do not turn too far, otherwise the

steering arm (30201011) press against the front uprights (30201012) which may damage the steering servo!

Chassis Tuning Guide

On your Sand Rail chassis two parameters can be adjusted: the toe of the front axle and the camber of both axles.

toe-out zero toe toe-in toe-in zero toe toe-out Front Turning Linkage Set Front Turning Linkage Set

Toe-in:

the setting is done via the steering linkage. More toe-in gives a better directional stability, but also poorer turn in at corner entry, and generally a less direct steering.

More toe-out effects a direct response to steering commands and more aggressivity at corner entry, but is also more difficult to control.

A neutral setting reduces tire wear and gives a neutral handling.

EN

positive camber adjust HERE!

Camber:

The tires should always have road contact with all the running tread. This is achieved with neutral or negative camber (about 2-3°) on both axes - more negative camber decreases the grip level again. Ideally, the camber is adjusted so that the tires wear is evenly.

Positive camber drastically reduces the grip and should, if at all, only be used on the front axle, to make the cornering less aggressive.

negative camber adjust HERE!

Maintenance

To have fun with your model over a long period, occasional service work is required to get your model in good condition and to minimize wear.

• Remove dirt or dust depending with compressed air or a soft brush after each use. For stubborn dirt, a harder brush or a toothbrush can be used.
• To clean the body/fuselage no chemical cleaners such as thinners may used, as this damage the plastic of the body/fuselage. Normally a piece of soft cloth is ok, stubborn dirt can be removed with washing-up liquid.
• Check the tightness of all screws and tighten if necessary.
• Also check all connections, cables and power battery / rechargeable battery for damage.

- WARNING: Damaged batteries or rechargeable batteries must not be used again and must be disposed of immediately – fire hazard! Please note the disposal notes at the end of this manual.

- Check the model for worn, broken or jammed parts and gears and repair if necessary.

- ⚠️ WARNING: remove the batteries / rechargeable batteries of the transmitter and model when not in use – fire hazard!
