There is an error in the manual regarding this model. It notes that the motor gearbox setup is “B” instead of “C”. The model moves along at about 3 inches/second with motor setup “C”. The P55 does not have enough torque to make it go with setup “B”. Plus the model would have theoretically moved along at about 27 inches/second!
