to the minimum and maximum limitations of the ESC as stated in the specications table.

4.Transmitter on First: Switch on your transmitter rst before switching on the speed control to prevent

runaways and erratic performance.

5.Don’t Get Burned: The ESC and motor can become extremely hot during use, so be careful not to touch

them until they cool. Supply adequate airow for cooling.

6.No Reverse Voltage: The ESC is not protected against reverse polarity voltage.

f o u n d e r P R O

Your model is able to use Li-Po batteries. Charging and discharging batteries has the potential for re,

explosion, serious injury, and property damage if not performed per the instructions. Before use, read and

follow all manufacturer’s instructions, warnings, and precautions. In addition, Lithium Polymer (Li-Po)

batteries pose a SEVERE risk of re if not properly handled per the instructions and require special care

and handling procedures for long life and safe operation. Li-Po batteries are intended only for advanced

users that are educated on the risks associated with Li-Po battery use. TRACTION HOBBY does not

recommend that anyone under the age of 14 use or handle Li-Po battery packs without the supervision of

a knowledgeable and responsible adult. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

Important Warnings for users of Lithium Polymer (Li-Po) batteries:

1.LiPo batteries have a minimum safe discharge voltage threshold that should not be exceeded. The

electronic speed control is equipped with built-in Low-Voltage Detection that alerts the driver when Li-Po

batteries have reached their minimum voltage (discharge) threshold. It is the driver’s responsibility to stop

immediately to prevent the battery pack from being discharged below its safe minimum threshold.

2.Low-Voltage Detection is just one part of a comprehensive plan for safe Li-Po battery use. It is critical to

follow all instructions for safe and proper charging, use, and storage of Li-Po batteries. Make sure you

understand how to use your Li-Po batteries. If you have questions about Li-Po battery usage, please

consult with your local hobby dealer or contact the battery manufacturer. As a reminder, all batteries should

be recycled at the end of their useful life.

3.ONLY use a Lithium Polymer (Li-Po) balance charger with a balance adapter port to charge Li-Po batteries.

Never use Ni-MH or Ni-Cad type chargers or charge modes to charge Li-Po batteries. DO NOT charge with

a Ni-MH-only charger. The use of a Ni-MH or Ni-Cad charger or charge mode will damage the batteries and

may cause re and personal injury.

4. NEVER charge Li-Po battery packs in series or parallel. Charging packs in series or parallel may result in

improper charger cell recognition and an improper charging rate that may lead to overcharging, cell

imbalance, cell damage, and re.

5.ALWAYS inspect your Li-Po batteries carefully before charging. Look for any loose leads or connectors,

damaged wire insulation, damaged cell packaging, impact damage, uid leaks, swelling (a sign of internal

damage), cell deformity, missing labels, or any other damage or irregularity. If any of these conditions are

observed, do not charge or use the battery pack. Follow the disposal instructions included with your

battery to properly and safely dispose of the battery.

6.DO NOT store or charge Li-Po batteries with or around other batteries or battery packs of any type,

including other Li-Po batteries.

7.Store and transport your battery pack(s) in a cool dry place. DO NOT store in direct sunlight. DO NOT

allow the storage temperature to exceed 140°F or 60°C, such as in the trunk of a car, or the cells may be

damaged and create a re risk.

8.DO NOT disassemble Li-Po batteries or cells.

9.DO NOT attempt to build your own Li-Po battery pack from loose cells.

Charging and handling precautions for all battery types:

1. BEFORE you charge, ALWAYS conrm that the charger settings exactly match the type (chemistry),

specication, and conguration of the battery to be charged.

2. DO NOT attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries (explosion hazard), batteries that have an internal

charge circuit or a protection circuit, batteries that have been altered from original manufacturer

conguration, or batteries that have missing or unreadable labels, preventing you from properly identifying

the battery type and specications.

3.DO NOT exceed the maximum manufacturer recommended charge rate.

4.DO NOT let any exposed battery contacts or wires touch each other.This will cause the battery to short

circuit and create the risk of re.

5.While charging or discharging, ALWAYS place the battery (all types of batteries) in a re retardant/re

proof container and on a non-ammable surface such as concrete.

6.DO NOT charge batteries inside of an automobile. DO NOT charge batteries while driving in an

automobile.

7.NEVER charge batteries on wood, cloth, carpet, or on any other ammable material.

8.ALWAYS charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.

9.REMOVE ammable items and combustible materials from the charging area.

10.DO NOT leave the charger and battery unattended while charging, discharging, or anytime the charger

is ON with a battery connected. If there are any signs of a malfunction or in the event of an emergency,

unplug the charger from the power source and disconnect the battery from the charger.

11.DO NOT operate the charger in a cluttered space, or place objects on top of the charger or battery.

Before you go on, here are some important precautions to keep in mind.

1.Allow the model to cool for a few minutes between runs. This is particularly important when using

high-capacity battery packs that allow extended periods of running. Monitoring temperatures will extend the

lives of the batteries and motor.

2. Do not continue to operate the model with low batteries or you could lose control of it. Indications of low

battery power include slow operation and sluggish servos (slow to return to center). Stop immediately at

the rst sign of weak batteries.

3.Do not drive the model at night, on public streets, or in large crowds of people.

4.Drive the Founder Pro primarily in low gear for maximum torque. High gear can be used for high-speed

running on open trails or when clearing steep slopes or gaps in rocks. Driving in high gear for extended

periods of time can result in the motor and/or ESC overheating and premature motor wear.

5.Because the model is controlled by radio, it is subject to radio interference from many sources beyond your

control. Since radio interference can cause momentary losses of control, allow a safety margin of space in

all directions around the model in order to prevent collisions.

6.Use good, common sense whenever you are driving your model. Intentionally driving in an abusive and

rough manner will only result in poor performance and broken parts. Take care of your model so that you

can enjoy it for a long time to come.

7.High-performance vehicles produce small vibrations that may loosen hardware over time. Frequently check

wheel nuts and other screws on your vehicle to ensure that all hardware remains properly tightened.

Operating the High-Low Transmission:

1.In the original state, use the third channel button of the remote control to switch the gearbox position.

There are obvious speed changes between the high-speed gear and the low-speed gear. The model

gearbox has a strong torque at low gears, which can extend the service

life of the motor. The corresponding gearbox lever and servo status are shown in the gure.

2.If you replace a new servo or transmitter, please adjust the servo parameters according to the state shown

in the gure. The main purpose is to adjust the EPA parameters of the corresponding channel of the

remote control to ensure the smooth operation of the servo in the working state. The servo will be damaged

due to long-term force.

Operating the Transfer Case:

1.The Founder Pro can switch three driving modes, namely 4WD, FWD and RWD, which are controlled by

the fourth channel of the transmitter, and the driving mode can be selected according to different road

conditions and vehicle states.

2.If you replace a new servo or transmitter, the channel switch of the remote control must be in three-way

please adjust the servo parameters according to the state shown in the gure, mainly by adjusting the EPA

parameters of the corresponding channel of the remote control to ensure that the servo is smooth in the

working state. The servo will be damaged due to long-term force.

Operating the Diff Lock:

1.The front and rear differential locks of Founder Pro are controlled by ve channels and six channels

respectively.

2.In most driving environments, the differential can be locked or unlocked at any time. If the speed

difference between the left and right tires is too large, rst release the throttle to reduce the wheel speed

difference and then lock the differential. The Founder Pro performs best when the front and rear differentials

are unlocked in most cases. This gives the Founder Pro the best steering performance and the smallest

turning radius, while also reducing the pressure on the driving components. If the opened differential

causes you to lose grip on loose terrain or prevents you from passing obstacles, you can use the differential

lock switch to lock the corresponding differential.

3.When locking the front differential lock or locking the front and rear differential locks, the high-speed

control and steering accuracy will be limited. The function of locking the differential can be used in any

situation, but when driving at high speeds, unlock the differential can greatly increase the vehicle

maneuverability.

f o u n d e r P R O

About Run Time:

Tips for Increasing Run Time:

Precautions:

A large factor affecting run time is the type and condition of your batteries. The milliamp hour (mAh) rating

of the batteries determines how large their “fuel tank” is. A 3000 mAh battery pack will theoretically run

twice as long as a 1500 mAh sport pack. Because of the wide variation in the types of batteries that are

available and the methods with which they can be charged, it’s impossible to give exact run times for the

model. Another major factor that affects run time is how the model is driven. Run times may decrease when

the model is driven repetitively from a stop to top speed and with repetitive hard acceleration.

1.Use batteries with the highest mAh rating you can purchase.

2.Use a high-quality peak-detecting charger.

3.Read and follow all maintenance and care instructions provided by the manufacturer of your batteries

and charger.

4.Keep the ESC cool. Get plenty of airow across the ESC heat sink.

5.Lower your gear ratio. Installing a smaller pinion gear will lower your gear ratio and cause less power

draw from the motor and batteries, and reduce overall operating temperatures.

6.Maintain your model. Do not allow dirt or damaged parts to cause binding in the drive train. Keep the

motor clean.

1.Without proper care, some parts of your model can be seriously damaged due to contact with water.

Know that additional maintenance procedures will be required after running in wet conditions in order to

maintain the performance of your model. Do not run your model in wet conditions if you are not willing to

accept the additional care and maintenance responsibilities.

2.Not all batteries can be used in wet environments. Consult your battery manufacturer to see if their

batteries can be used in wet conditions. Do not use Li-Po batteries in wet conditions.

3.The transmitter is not water resistant. Do not subject it to wet conditions, such as rain.

4.Do not operate your model during a rain storm or other inclement weather where lightning may be present.

5.Do not allow your model to come in contact with saltwater, brackish water, or other contaminated water.

Saltwater is highly conductive and highly corrosive. Use caution if you plan to run your model on or near

a beach.

6.Even casual water contact can reduce the life of your motor. Special care must be taken to modify your

driving style in wet conditions to extend the life of the motor.

Motor Precautions:

1.Founder Pro 775 motor life can be greatly reduced in mud and water. If the motor gets excessively wet or

submerged, use very light throttle (run the motor slowly) until the excess water can run out. Applying full

throttle to a motor full of water can cause rapid motor failure. Your driving habits will determine motor life

with a wet motor. Do not submerge the motor under water.

2.Do not gear the motor by temperature when running in wet conditions. The motor will be cooled by water

contact and will not give an accurate indication of appropriate gearing.

Additional Maintenance:

Increase your frequency of disassembly, inspection, and lubrication of the following items. This is necessary

after extended wet use or if the vehicle will not be used for an extended period of time (such as a week or

longer). This additional maintenance is needed to prevent any trapped moisture from corroding internal

steel components.
