• Never swim out to retrieve an R/C boat that has stalled in the water. If you are going into the water, use
a small boat or kayak to retrieve your model, always wear a PFD (Personal Flotation Device).
• Never stand in the water when operating your model boat.
• Remain clear of the propellers when the boat is running. Pay extra close attention to loose clothing,
jewelry, long hair and anything that can be caught in the spinning prop. CAUTION: A spinning
propeller can cause severe injury.
• The propellers and other running hardware are very sharp. Use extreme caution when working on or
around these parts.
• Your model is operated by radio signals sent by the transmitter. This system is susceptible to interference
from other radio signal sources. Before using your model, make sure no one else is using the same
radio frequency and that there is no other interference in the area.
• Never operate your model near swimmers or wildlife. The size and speed of this model can cause severe
injury and damage if a collision occurs.
• Some of the electronic components may become very hot during use and can severely burn you if
touched before they cool. Let the model stand and cool down before handling the motor, ESC and cooling
components.
• The batteries used in this model can be dangerous. If batteries get hot during charging, discontinue charging
immediately and disconnect battery from charger. Never leave battery unattended while charging. If you are
unsure of how to charge this battery, please contact Atomik™ or seek the advice of your local hobby shop.

The Atomik™ C1 34” RTR Electric Boat operates using counter-rotating drives to cancel the torque effect of the props.
Because of this, it is extremely important to make sure that you install the correct prop on the correct shaft always
noting the correct rotational direction. If the wrong prop is installed on the wrong shaft, the prop will be spinning in the
wrong direction to generate forward propulsion. Use the supplied lock nuts to secure them to the propshafts. Use
caution when installing the props as they may have extremely sharp edges.
The drive dogs should each be adjusted to have a 1/8 in. gap.
This free space reduces drag and resistence on the motors. This will result in better performance and less heat
and/or excessive wear on the motors.
Loosen the motor coupler set screws on the flex shafts to set
the drive dog gap on each shaft. Once the desired gap is
adjusted tighten the motor coupler set screws.
** IMPORTANT ** Use medium strength (blue) thread lock on
all set screws after adjustments have been made. Allow proper
setup/dry time before next use.
NOTE: The gap can be easily measured by using a dime / coin
to gauge the distance.

Secure the hatch by sliding the front pins into the holes at the front of the hull opening. The Hatch should drop easily
down so that the magnets hold the hatch in alignment. To waterproof the hatch, use strips of clear tape to seal the lid on
all four sides. **Note: Hatch magnets are for alignment only. Never rely solely on magnets for hatch retention.

Follow the same steps used to install the props. If you are using aftermarket props, make sure they are sized for a 4mm
prop shaft. If you are not using a 4mm prop, you will need to shim the prop shaft or use an adapter to increase the
diameter to .187.
Loosen the drives using a pair of needle nose pliers and a 2.5mm Hex Driver. Adjust the drive up or down to change the
running angle of the boat. Use degree markings on the outdrive to adjust the drive angle. Be sure both drives are set at
the same angle to prevent erratic running.
The alignment of the propeller shaft is parallel to the bottom of
the hull (Keel) which is considered zero degrees (0 deg) and a

BOAT MAINTENANCE
BOAT MAINTENANCE
DRIVE LINE
1. Remove the props.
2. Loosen the motor coupler set screws for the flex cables.
3. Slide the flex cables out of the drives.
4. Lubricate the flex cables with marine grease.
5. Lubricate the drive ball bearings with a light oil for bearings.
6. Reassemble the drives and wipe away any excess grease and oil.
HULL
1. The hull requires very little maintenance, but must be kept in good condition in order to perform as expected and to
ensure safe operation.
2. Look closely at the exterior surfaces of the hull.
3. Check for damage, chips, cracks and scratches.
4. Determine if damage has weakened the fiberglass and take the appropriate action to fix the
damage. Scratches and hair line cracks are common and typically do not require any attention.
HARDWARE
1. Radio control boats experience high frequency vibrations and as a result the screws, nuts and bolts will become
loose.
2. Check all the motor hardware and motor mounts.
3. All running gear, hardware, rudder, drives, steering linkages, hatch quick releases, water-cooling
system, etc.
4. Use Thread Lock on all metal to metal hardware contacts.
WHAT TO DO AFTER THE BOAT HAS BEEN SUBMERGED
1. Remove the motors and lubricate the bearings on the motors.
2. Remove the electronics.
3. Dry out the interior.
4. The servo, receiver and battery packs will need to be dried out and checked for proper
operation before they are used again.
5. Test the battery pack under load to make sure it is ok to continue regular use.

2. Look closely at the exterior surfaces of the hull.
3. Check for damage, chips, cracks and scratches.
4. Determine if damage has weakened the fiberglass and take the appropriate action to fix the
damage. Scratches and hair line cracks are common and typically do not require any attention.
HARDWARE
1. Radio control boats experience high frequency vibrations and as a result the screws, nuts and bolts will become
loose.
2. Check all the motor hardware and motor mounts.
3. All running gear, hardware, rudder, drives, steering linkages, hatch quick releases, water-cooling
system, etc.
4. Use Thread Lock on all metal to metal hardware contacts.
WHAT TO DO AFTER THE BOAT HAS BEEN SUBMERGED
1. Remove the motors and lubricate the bearings on the motors.
2. Remove the electronics.
3. Dry out the interior.
4. The servo, receiver and battery packs will need to be dried out and checked for proper
operation before they are used again.
5. Test the battery pack under load to make sure it is ok to continue regular use.
